Unveiling the Majesty of God: His Attributes and Character The majesty of God is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. From the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation, we see the splendour and glory of God on display. He is not just great, but He is majestic, clothed with splendour and glory, and His greatness fills the heavens and the earth. In this post, we will explore some of the Bible verses that reveal God’s majesty and how we can respond to Him with awe and worship. Acknowledging the Majesty Of God King David acknowledged God’s majesty when he prayed, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all” (1 Chronicles 29:11). We can join David in this prayer by recognizing that everything belongs to God, and He alone deserves to be praised as sovereign over all. Psalmist also celebrated God’s majesty when he wrote, “Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendour and majesty” (Psalm 104:1). We can bless God by admiring His works of creation and by trusting Him to provide for our needs. Knowing God (Attributes and character) The writer of Hebrews described Jesus Christ as the perfect revelation of God’s majesty. He wrote, “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3). We can honour Jesus Christ by confessing Him as our Lord and Savior and by following Him as our example and leader. Finally, the twenty-four elders who worshipped before God’s throne in heaven sang, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:11). We can join this heavenly chorus by praising God for His sovereignty and wisdom, and by submitting to His will in our lives. Our Bible tells us that we should respond to God’s majesty by fearing Him, loving Him, worshipping Him, serving Him, obeying Him, glorifying Him, trusting Him, thanking Him, honouring Him, rejoicing in Him, delighting in Him, depending on Him, seeking Him, knowing Him, and enjoying Him. The more we study God’s word, the more we will discover how awesome He is. May we always be amazed by His majesty and live for His glory! In conclusion, the majesty of God is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. We can respond to His majesty by recognizing that everything belongs to Him, admiring His works of creation, confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and submitting to His will in our lives. May we always be in awe of His majesty and live for His glory.

Launched by al-Qaeda those killed included the 227 civilians, the 19 hijackers aboard the planes with a resultant death of 343 fire-fighters and 72 law enforcement officers. The attacks, according to the final report of the National Commission on terrorist attacks upon the United States, was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the world super power. In the early hours of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, four passenger airliners with innocent passengers were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists and flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, an American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center (WTC) complex in New York City causing colossal damage and death. Within two hours of the attack, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed into the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, leading to a partial collapse in its western side. However, the fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, which was targeted at Washington DC, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after it was believed the passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. As the attack was going on, then President George W. Bush was at the Emma E. Booker Elementary school, Sarasota, Florida where he was told by his Chief of Staff, Andrew Card about the attack and suspicion quickly fell on al-Qaeda. They were the most lethal terrorist attacks in history, taking the lives of 3,000 Americans and international citizens and ultimately leading to far-reaching changes in anti-terror approaches and operations in the US and around the globe. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report, the attack of 9/11-code-named “PENTTBOM”—was its largest investigation ever. “At the peak of the case, more than half FBI agents worked to identify the hijackers and their sponsors and, with other agencies, to head off any possible future attacks following more than half-a-million investigative leads, including several hundred thousand tips from the public. The attack and crash sites also represented the largest crime scenes in FBI history,” the report said. Although the group’s leader, Osama bin Laden, initially denied any involvement, but shortly before the US presidential election in 2004, in a taped statement, bin Laden publicly acknowledged al-Qaeda’s involvement in the attacks on the US and admitted his direct link to the attacks. He said that the attacks were carried out because, “we are free … and want to regain freedom for our nation, for US support of Israel, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia and sanctions against Iraq. As you undermine our security we undermine yours.” Bin Laden said he had personally directed his followers to attack the World Trade Center. The United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had harboured al-Qaeda including the government of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Also many countries that seem to be harbouring or supporting terrorism were targeted thereafter in a broad and systematic war. As a result, many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers. Indeed since then, security became and still is the number item on the agenda of many countries around the world. However, having evaded capture for years, bin Laden was located and killed by a special US force on May 2, 2011 at Abbottabad, Pakistan. It was a swift operation which took the world by surprise. Nevertheless, Pakistan was irked by the attack calling it an invasion of the country. Dubbed “The attack that changed the world,” according to a June, 2011 studies by scholars the cost of prosecuting the war after 9/11 was enormous in all respect. The war on terror took a toll on the US psychologically as many of its military especially younger personnel suffered from dementia while others were physically deformed. Also, a group of scholars with the Eisenhower Research Project at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies in a report say the cost of the terror wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan are estimated at 225,000 lives and up to $4 trillion in US spending. Although it is 13 years since the attack, many Americans still recount the momentous event with painful nostalgia just as the global community still live with its memory. As 9/11 attacks are being commemorated today, the President/Chief Executive Officer, National September 11 Memorial and Museum, Joe Daniels said on its website that: “When you choose to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11, you are playing an important part in memorializing those who were killed, honoring the sacrifices of the first responders, and remembering the spirit of unity that emerged in the aftermath of 9/11.”

Hundreds of girls and women freed from Boko Haram insurgents are facing stigmatisation and contempt from their family members and communities in Borno State, a United Nations report has revealed. The report, entitled, “Bad Blood”, focused on the perceptions of children and women exposed to sexual violence and Boko Haram attacks in northeast Nigeria. The United Nations Children Fund, International Alert, as well as other non-governmental groups released the report on Wednesday. More than 200 female pupils of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, were kidnapped in 2014 in their dormitory. The report, which noted that some of the rescued girls and women were either pregnant or had children for Boko Haram members, added that they faced stigmatisation. “As they return, many face maginalisation, discrimination and rejection by family and community members due to social and cultural norms related to sexual violence. There is also the growing fear that some of these girls and women were radicalised in captivity. The children, who have been born of sexual violence, are at an even greater risk of rejection, abandonment and violence.” The report added that their husband had divorced many of the women survivors. It declared, “Victims’ husbands and fathers whose views and feelings carry more weight in highly patriarchal societies such as the one in Borno – also have mixed feelings about their wives and daughters. These feelings range from complete rejection and fear to acceptance. Some husbands are not willing to take their wives back and have divorced their wives on their return. However, other husbands have accepted their wives back into their lives. These views are shaped by perceptions on whether women and girls left willingly or if they were abducted.” Among other interventions, the researchers advised that the Federal Government to scale up psychological counselling for survivors. “The number of those in need and type of trauma suffered outstrip the services available, as admitted by government representatives. Also, given the fact that only small number of survivals have begun to return from captivity, compared with those who are still missing, it is likely that the available services will become even more overwhelmed by the returning population’s needs.” All rights reserved.

Nigeria is losing about a half kilometre of its land mass annually to desert encroachment and time is of essence before the entire country becomes a desert. The Director-General of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation, Dr Muktari Aminu-Kano, raised the alarm in Lagos on Sunday. He made the disclosure at the 2018 edition of the Green Ball series with theme: “Green Recovery Nigeria: Restoring Mangroves and Reclaiming the Desert.” According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Aminu-Kano said that mangroves were also being lost in the Niger Delta and that the nation had already lost up to 95 per cent of its forest cover. He warned that urgent measures must be taken to curb deforestation and forest degradation to stop what he described as ugly consequences of climate change for the nation. The NCF chief also warned on the “firewood crisis,’’ saying that the problem must be addressed to discourage use of fire wood use as cooking gas. He stressed the need to strengthen the Green Recovery Nigeria scheme, aimed at retaining a significant proportion of Nigeria’s landmass under forest. Aminu-Kano also called for sustained intensive awareness campaign among all tiers of governments to change the practice of tree felling to tree planting. He noted that government must have to promote clean sources of cooking energy to protect the nation’s forests form being used as firewood. “Green Recovery Nigeria is our push to bring the agenda that Nigeria is pathetically losing 95 per cent of its forest cover and we have only five per cent left. “350,000 hectares of land are being lost annually to desertification and the land lost is about 0.6, which is about half a kilometre every year. If you think you live in Lagos and it cannot reach you, it will only take some time. “Imagine the annual movement of 0.6 kilometres.’’ The Chairman of the NCF Board of Trustees, Chief Philip Asiodu, in a speech, recalled that Nigeria entered an agreement with the Food and Agriculture Organisation in 1988 to restore 25 per cent of its forest cover. Asiodu said that while other African countries commenced implementation of the agreement, Nigeria had done nothing and had lost almost all its forest cover. He noted that with increasing population, the effects of climate change were manifested through gully erosions in the South East and desertification in the Sahel. “There is a lot of work to do to persuade the government into action,’’ he said. The Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Environment, Mr Abiodun Bamgbose, thanked the NCF for its efforts at addressing environmental issues. Ambode said that humanity had become vulnerable to how it treated the gift of the environment. “The Lagos State Government does a lot of tree planting every year. All multinationals should rise and support this fight because government alone cannot do it,’’ she said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an award was presented to Mrs Ajoke Muhammed, widow of late former Head of State, Gen. Murtala Muhammed for her contributions to issues involving sustainability and preservation of the environment. The wife of the Ogun State Governor, Dr OlufunsoAmosun, also received an award for her contributions to saving the environment.

In this post, you will learn about various effects of drug abuse on academic performance. Table of Contents Brief Discussion on the Effect of Excessive Drug Intake Drug abuse is one issue that the world is fighting on large scale. Being addicted to drugs is usually something that happens on a short-term basis, owing to the thrills the user gets to experience once the drugs begin their action. These drugs exert their effects on the body in different ways, such that they can become systemic. Daily improvements are being made to make these drugs more attractive to gullible users. This struggle poses a huge threat to the education sector, looking at how much students go into creating reforms in this regard. However, this has not yielded the kind of results most people, especially those concerned would want. I overheard a pained parent lament terribly over his son’s condition. This young man was introduced to marijuana as a result of peer pressure. All efforts taken by the father to make him quit the intake of marijuana were futile. Sadly there has been no change in recent times. This issue has gotten him expelled from three different universities. The academic damage it had already caused was already making the young man’s father a shadow of his old self. Recently, another that happened was the case of a promising optometry student at IMSU who died jumping off a high-rise building under the influence of hard drugs. This scourge of drug addiction is biting hard and the reality is that many students do not understand the harsh realities that accompany drug abuse. Drug abuse and academics are two parallel lines that should never meet in any student’s life. Hence you should take note of the harm these substances cause. Let’s take a look at the consequences and effects of drug abuse on academic performance. The Effects of Drug Abuse on Academic Performance Based on what we’ve seen the excessive intake of hard drugs did to students who indulge in such acts, we have provided a list of effects of drug abuse on academic performances and even life in this section. Our aim is to notify parents and students of these career and life-threatening effects and to make it serve as a deterrent to potential drug takers (the youngsters). - Drug abuse can cause severe brain damage - Brings about a psychological imbalance - Drug addiction lowers your self-esteem - Your retentive capacity may alter drastically - Drug addiction makes you become a social misfit - Drug abuse puts your overall health at risk 1. Drug Abuse Can Cause Severe Brain Damage The brain is the seat of intelligence and coordination. This is the organ that facilitates day-to-day academic activities. It is the seat of intelligence. Without the brain, a man is as comparable to a mere vegetable. For this reason, you should not use any substance that would impair the functionality of your brain. Long-term drug addiction issues cause brain aneurysms and in cases where it’s not properly managed, it could result in permanent brain damage or even death. Once there is an impaired brain function, academics would come to a halt. 2. Psychological Imbalance Is Inevitable The psychology of a drug addict is not balanced, and this invariably results in the obvious drop in academic performance once the drugs begin taking their toll on those who abuse them. This is why we shouldn’t just give a mere look at a drop in academic performance. Abuse of drugs can have very deleterious effects on an individual’s psychology. Several studies have shown that there is an obvious link between post-traumatic stress-induced disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse. At some point, those who abuse these substances hallucinate. This is why drugs and heinous crimes are also inseparable. If indeed you value the bright future you’ve got ahead, stay away from hard drugs. 3. Drug Addiction Lowers Your Self-Esteem Many young people who abuse drugs are reduced to a gory image of themselves irrespective of how gifted they are. To cite an example, I could remember a guy who taught me physics while I did prepare to write my first external examination. He was an extremely brilliant young man with prospects. Sadly, he lost control of his life as a result of his addiction to marijuana and alcohol. These substances he mistook took over his life; he could barely function in class except he took them. He lost his composure and confidence. The last time I saw him, he was already drained and it wasn’t just a good sight of him to behold. 4. Your Retentive Capacity Is Altered This is another important point to consider among the effects of drug abuse on academic performance. A drunken person barely remembers what happens while he is intoxicated. The same also happens in the case of individuals who are addicted to drugs. Once they get high, they barely remember a thing. These substances alter the optimal functionality of their memory, especially in the long term. Even those who claim to use drugs as memory boosters only benefit from this habit on a short-term basis. Students will be in need of their retentive memories all through their academic years, abusing drugs may bring about a decrease in the functionality of retentive capacities, hence the need to avoid indulging yourself in such activities. In the long run, this habit would often result in degenerative conditions that alter the retentive capacity of such individuals. Drug addiction is a dream killer, just do away with it. 5. Drug Addiction Makes You Become a Social Misfit There is an aura of instant dissociation around people who are drug addicts, even after they have changed. Drug addiction renders a person unpresentable in social settings, as no one would want to associate with someone whose life has been taken over by drugs. Irrespective of how brilliant or gifted a student is, chronic takers of hard drugs would become an instant misfit in society once drug addiction becomes part of their everyday life. Although our society is very well a place addictive substances move around clumsily, no one finds people who misuse these substances attractive enough to be associated with. 6. Your Overall Health is at Risk How would you be able to perform excellently in your academics if you are unhealthy? Only the healthiest minds learn, and beyond the brain, there are other organs in the body that drug addiction is capable of impairing their functions. The heart, kidneys, and lungs are mostly hit hard by the effect of drugs. Oftentimes, the effect of this damage doesn’t become obvious until much and severe damage has been done. In long-term drug addiction cases, this is inevitable and is a huge factor that could end an individual’s academic career. For anyone who wants to survive the rigors of being an astute academic scholar, you must stay away from the use of substances that will disconnect you from reality. Once a person is disconnected from reality, death is to be expected. Conclusions on the Effects of Drug Abuse on Academic Performance With these few career-threatening effects of drug abuse on academic performance we have looked into, you will agree with me that winning the battle against drug addiction is important as its effects are not friendly to anybody. Rather than being stuck in a quagmire of life-damaging habits, get addicted to eating good food, fruits, exercise, and games that will keep your body and mind stimulated to grow.

Santa Claus—otherwise known as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle—has a long history steeped in Christmas traditions. Today, he is thought of mainly as the jolly man in red who brings toys to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, but his story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century, when Saint Nicholas walked the earth and became the patron saint of children. Find out more about the history of Santa Claus from his earliest origins to the shopping mall Santas of today, and discover how two New Yorkers—Clement Clark Moore and Thomas Nast—were major influences on the Santa Claus millions of children wait for each Christmas Eve. The Legend of St. Nicholas: The Real Santa Claus The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around A.D. 280 in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. One of the best-known St. Nicholas stories is the time he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married. Over the course of many years, Nicholas’s popularity spread and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. His feast day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, December 6. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland. Sinter Klaas Comes to New York St. Nicholas made his first inroads into American popular culture towards the end of the 18th century. In December 1773, and again in 1774, a New York newspaper reported that groups of Dutch families had gathered to honor the anniversary of his death. The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick’s Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas). In 1804, John Pintard, a member of the New York Historical Society, distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society’s annual meeting. The background of the engraving contains now-familiar Santa images including stockings filled with toys and fruit hung over a fireplace. In 1809, Washington Irving helped to popularize the Sinter Klaas stories when he referred to St. Nicholas as the patron saint of New York in his book, The History of New York. As his prominence grew, Sinter Klaas was described as everything from a “rascal” with a blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings to a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a “huge pair of Flemish trunk hose.” Gift-giving, mainly centered around children, has been an important part of the Christmas celebration since the holiday’s rejuvenation in the early 19th century. Stores began to advertise Christmas shopping in 1820, and by the 1840s, newspapers were creating separate sections for holiday advertisements, which often featured images of the newly-popular Santa Claus. In 1841, thousands of children visited a Philadelphia shop to see a life-size Santa Claus model. It was only a matter of time before stores began to attract children, and their parents, with the lure of a peek at a “live” Santa Claus. In the early 1890s, the Salvation Army needed money to pay for the free Christmas meals they provided to needy families. They began dressing up unemployed men in Santa Claus suits and sending them into the streets of New York to solicit donations. Those familiar Salvation Army Santas have been ringing bells on the street corners of American cities ever since. Perhaps the most iconic department store Santa is Kris Kringle in the 1947 classic Santa Claus movie “Miracle on 34 Street.” A young Natalie Wood played a little girl who believes Kris Kringle (played by Edmund Gwenn, who won an Oscar for the role) when he says he is the real Santa Claus. “Miracle on 34 Street” was remade in 1994 and starred Lord Richard Attenborough and Mara Wilson. The Macy’s Santa has appeared at almost every Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since it began in 1924, and fans of all ages still line up to meet the Macy’s Santa in New York City and at stores around the country, where children can take pictures on Santa’s lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore, an Episcopal minister, wrote a long Christmas poem for his three daughters entitled “An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas,” more popularly known as “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas.” Moore’s poem, which he was initially hesitant to publish due to the frivolous nature of its subject, is largely responsible for our modern image of Santa Claus as a “right jolly old elf” with a portly figure and the supernatural ability to ascend a chimney with a mere nod of his head! Although some of Moore’s imagery was probably borrowed from other sources, his poem helped popularize the now-familiar image of a Santa Claus who flew from house to house on Christmas Eve in “a miniature sleigh” led by eight flying reindeer to leave presents for deserving children. “An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas” created a new and immediately popular American icon. In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast drew on Moore’s poem to create the first likeness that matches our modern image of Santa Claus. His cartoon, which appeared in Harper’s Weekly, depicted Santa as a rotund, cheerful man with a full, white beard, holding a sack laden with toys for lucky children. It is Nast who gave Santa his bright red suit trimmed with white fur, North Pole workshop, elves and his wife, Mrs. Claus Santa Claus Around the World Eighteenth-century America’s Santa Claus was not the only St. Nicholas-inspired gift-giver to make an appearance at Christmastime. There are similar figures and Christmas traditions around the world. Christkind or Kris Kringle was believed to deliver presents to well-behaved Swiss and German children. Meaning “Christ child,” Christkind is an angel-like figure often accompanied by St. Nicholas on his holiday missions. In Scandinavia, a jolly elf named Jultomten was thought to deliver gifts in a sleigh drawn by goats. English legend explains that Father Christmas visits each home on Christmas Eve to fill children’s stockings with holiday treats. Père Noël is responsible for filling the shoes of French children. In Italy, there is a story of a woman called La Befana, a kindly witch who rides a broomstick down the chimneys of Italian homes to deliver toys into the stockings of lucky children. Christmas Traditions in the United States In the United States, Santa Claus is often depicted as flying from his home to home on Christmas Eve to deliver toys to children. He flies on his magic sleigh led by his reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and the most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph. Santa enters each home through the chimney, which is why empty Christmas stockings—once empty socks, now often dedicated stockings made for the occasion—are “hung by the Chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there,” as Clement Clarke Moore wrote in his famous poem. Stockings can be filled with candy canes and other treats or small toys. Santa Claus and his wife, Mrs. Claus, call the North Pole home, and children write letters to Santa and track Santa’s progress around the world on Christmas Eve. Children often leave cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus keeps a “naughty list” and a “nice list” to determine who deserves gifts on Christmas morning, and parents often invoke these lists as a way to ensure their children are on their best behavior. The lists are immortalized in the 1934 Christmas song “Santa Claus is coming to Town”: “He's making a list And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!” The Ninth Reindeer, Rudolph Rudolph, “the most famous reindeer of all,” was born over 100 years after his eight flying counterparts. The red-nosed wonder was the creation of Robert L. May, a copywriter at the Montgomery Ward department store. In 1939, May wrote a Christmas-themed story-poem to help bring holiday traffic into his store. Using a similar rhyme pattern to Moore’s “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” May told the story of Rudolph, a young reindeer who was teased by the other deer because of his large, glowing, red nose. But, When Christmas Eve turned foggy and Santa worried that he wouldn’t be able to deliver gifts that night, the former outcast saved Christmas by leading the sleigh by the light of his red nose. Rudolph’s message—that given the opportunity, a liability can be turned into an asset—proved popular. Montgomery Ward sold almost two and a half million copies of the story in 1939. When it was reissued in 1946, the book sold over three and half million copies. Several years later, one of May’s friends, Johnny Marks, wrote a short song based on Rudolph’s story (1949). It was recorded by Gene Autry and sold over two million copies. Since then, the story has been translated into 25 languages and been made into a television movie, narrated by Burl Ives, which has charmed audiences every year since 1964.

Children's maths question that seems simple is leaving people stumped - so, can YOU tell the right answer? - Tricky math question aimed at kids has gone viral after perplexing thousands - Read More: Math exam question aimed at 10-year-olds stumps the internet A tricky maths exam question aimed at kids has gone viral after perplexing thousands of people on Twitter. The challenging problem was posted by @yawdmontweet, from Jamaica, who said the question 'hurt his head.' The question, which racked up 1.4 million views, asked: 'What is the closest time to midnight?', and it offered a multiple choice answer of A. 11:55 am, B. 12:06 am, 11:50 am, and D 12:03 am.' Scores of social media users appeared to be confused by the question as many rushed to the comments with different answers. Some people claimed the answer was 'D' because that's only three minutes away from midnight. A tricky math exam question aimed at kids has gone viral after perplexing thousands of people on the internet However others interpreted the question differently and said it is 'A' because that's the nearest to midnight without going back in time. One person said: 'Clearly a lot of children have been left behind. The answer is D!!! 'To' just means closest to the time itself, not insinuating that it's necessarily before midnight.' Another agreed saying: 'The question speaks to proximity and not chronology, so the answer is D.' While someone else said: 'I don't even understand why this is causing confusion. The answer is D! 3 minutes after midnight is the closest time to midnight. #Simple' A fourth agreed saying: 'Option D is 3 minutes away from midnight. All the options provided were in the morning and if listed in chronological order, the closest to midnight is D. We will have to agree to disagree on this one as no other reason makes sense to me.' Those who chose D were correct, because 12.03am is three minutes past midnight, while 11.55am is 12 hours and 5 minutes before; 12.06 am is six minutes past and 11.50 am is 12 hours and 10 minutes before. But others insisted the answer was A with one person saying: 'A is the answer because it's 5 mins away from midnight. 12:03am is 23 hours and 57 mins away from midnight.' Some people claimed the answer was 'D' because that's only three minutes away from midnight However others said it is 'A' because that's the nearest to midnight without going back in time Another said: 'The answer is A. 11:55am (is 12 hours, and 5 minutes) away from midnight (12am). B is 23 hours and 54 minutes away, C is 12 hours and 10 minutes away and D is 23 hours and 57 minutes from midnight.' While a third wrote: 'It says closest 'To' midnight. And not 'From' Midnight. Stop over complicating everything lol. Answer is A.' However, this logic is totally flawed because 11.55am is in the morning and not close to midnight at all. People chimed in on why they think the maths questions is confusing with some revealing it's to do with the wording. One person said: 'I think the wording is causing confusion. 'TO' midnight and 'Pass' midnight are 2 different things when it comes to time.' Another said: 'Without more information it's hard to choose the answer. We say time in a clockwise manner which would make A the closest if we are talking about the next midnight. However, it did not state which midnight this D it closest.' While another said: 'This isn’t hard guys. It’s clearly only one answer. Two of them are close to midday not midnight…' Most watched News videos - PM holds breakfast meeting with business leaders in Rome - Perry Farrell starts fight with confused Dave Navarro during show - Smoke from Halen Môn smokery causes dispute with Anglesey Sea Zoo - David Lammy complains of no taxpayer budget for Starmer's clothes - Old clip of 56-year-old man who attempted to kill Trump resurfaces - Huw Edwards leaves court following sentencing - Disgraced presenter Huw Edwards arrives at court for sentencing - Australian tourist 'lynched' after streaking through Italian town - Teen girl rushed to ambulance after knife rampage at Russian school - Moment family flee their home after hoverboard charger explodes - Shocking moment woman repeatedly runs over handbag thief - Starmer and Meloni giggle as they pose for photos in Villa Doria

Half the available Google Chrome extensions are capable of harming their users, Incogni, a data protection company in Netherlands, has revealed. Its research, made available to FIJ on Wednesday, showed that after reviewing 1,237 extensions, 602 (48.66 percent) of them had a high or very high risk impact. It also revealed that 334 (27 percent) of the sampled extensions collect users’ data. Amongst its findings was that extensions in the ‘Shopping’ category were the most potentially harmful, while those used for writing collect the most data. The company said, “The safest extensions have a low Risk Impact and low Risk Likelihood, while the most dangerous score highly on both measures. The vast majority fall somewhere in between these extremes and it’s up to the user to decide if they’re comfortable installing a given extension. “Risk Impact won’t change without the user knowing, since the extension would have to request additional permissions, but Risk Likelihood can change without notice, for example when an extension changes hands.” The distribution below shows the proportions of extensions studied that are generally considered safe (teal), that should be installed with caution (yellow), generally avoided (pink), or that are not recommended (red). The company further said, “Some extensions truly can’t function without certain permissions, even scary ones like clipboard read and browsing data. This is why it’s important to only use extensions from trusted developers. A trusted developer is one with a history of problem-free software development and high user ratings. “Seeking out trusted developers is neither easy nor foolproof, though. A previously above-board developer can turn bad actor, reviews can be bought or faked, and extensions can be compromised through no fault of the developer. “Doppelganger extensions also complicate things. You might think you’re installing a tried, tested, and trusted extension when really it’s a malicious counterfeit. These are easy to fall for if you’re not very careful to match the extension and developer names exactly. “Finally, there’s a risk to downloading High Risk Impact extensions even from verified and trusted developers. Extensions, like any other proprietary software, can change hands without the user being made aware. You grant permissions to the extension, not its developer. A less-than-trustworthy company could then acquire the developer, publisher, or code base and do as it pleases with your data.” Incogni found nine extensions that collect the most user data, and represented them in the table above.

Following a debilitating injury or illness, determining one’s physical aptitude for returning to work or performing daily tasks can be challenging. A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) provides an objective assessment of an individual’s physical abilities, offering a comprehensive understanding of their constraints and capabilities. This guide delves into the intricacies of an FCE, its purpose, process, and implications for those grappling with physical limitations. A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a systematic process conducted to gauge an individual’s physical capacity. It involves an array of tests, practices, and observations that assess various facets of your physical function. The resultant report can illuminate the cumulative impact of your symptoms on your ability to perform essential work duties or daily activities. These evaluations are beneficial for individuals experiencing physical conditions resulting in symptoms like: Whether your physical abilities are compromised due to an injury or illness, the FCE offers a tangible manifestation of your restrictions and limitations. However, it’s pertinent to note that most FCEs are not tailored to measure the impact of visual or hearing impairments, or mental/cognitive issues. The primary purpose of an FCE is to provide a standardized assessment of an individual’s functional capacity in relation to their job’s demands. This includes aspects such as lifting, carrying, pushing/pulling, balance, fine motor skills, and cardiovascular tolerance. The results of an FCE can inform decisions regarding job placement, rehabilitation, disability claims, and case settlements. An FCE may be deemed appropriate in the following scenarios: However, certain contraindications exist as well. Medical conditions involving cardiac, pulmonary, or psychological issues, and difficulty in understanding instructions or communication could pose challenges in effectively conducting an FCE. Before the FCE process begins, several factors must be taken into account: Functional capacity evaluations are typically administered by trained medical professionals like occupational therapists or physicians specializing in rehabilitative occupational medicine. The examiner will need information about your job, the duties you’re required to perform, your diagnosis, and ongoing medical treatment. The design of an FCE varies based on several factors. The examination length can be as short as 2 hours, extending up to 5-6 hours over 2 days. An FCE comprises the following key components: During the material handling portion of the FCE, the examiner observes the person’s effort. Based on this perceived effort, a determination of the maximal safe lifting ability is made. Signs of reaching a maximal level may include muscle bulging of the prime movers, involuntary use of accessory muscles, altered body mechanics, loss of equilibrium, increased base of support, decreased efficiency, and smoothness of movement, and cardiovascular signs such as increased heart rate and breathing. Research indicates a high reliability of a properly trained evaluator in assessing a person’s effort level. Studies have reported interrater reliability ranges from .95 to .98, suggesting that training is a crucial component in interpreting the results of an FCE. However, the validity of a return to work recommendation following an FCE can vary. One study found that after several months, the recommendations were accurate for the majority of patients. The primary factor influencing a patient’s return to work was the employer’s ability to accommodate the recommendations. Another study found that 62.1% of patients were able to successfully return to their job after a year. It was found that the difference in a person returning to work versus not was the person’s opinion they had a heavy disability. If you experience a temporary increase in symptoms following the evaluation, consider arranging for a ride to and from the evaluation. In cases where you’re recovering from surgery or currently undergoing rehabilitative therapy, communicate these circumstances to your FCE provider before scheduling your appointment(s). An experienced long-term disability attorney can assist in various ways during an FCE: A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a powerful tool for understanding an individual’s physical capabilities and limitations, particularly in the context of workplace demands. While the process may seem daunting, it is a comprehensive and standardized method to determine your physical capacity following an injury or illness. It can also act as a Workplace Injury Prevention procedure. Always remember, it’s crucial to approach an FCE with honesty and openness about your symptoms and limitations. This will ensure the most accurate and beneficial results for managing your return to work or assessing your disability claim. For assistance and guidance through the FCE process, consider reaching out to a long-term disability attorney. Their expertise and knowledge can help navigate this complex procedure, advocating for your needs and ensuring you receive the Disability Benefits you are entitled to.

The roots of witchcraft are just as ancient as the roots of voodoo. Like voodoo, ‘The Craft’ or witchcraft should never be confused with Satanism, the outright worship of Satan. The truth has nothing to do with such worship, even though there are some Satanists who will, wrongfully, call themselves a ‘witch’. Wicca is the practice of the religion of witchcraft, with its own set of beliefs, while The Craft is more properly the practicalities of the art of witchcraft, such as spell-making and healing. It is the misunderstanding of this differentiation that has led to persecution in the past. Neither is witchcraft the old lady with a warty, crooked nose and pointed hat so beloved of myths and fairytales, nor is it the beautiful women or evil wizards so hyped for modern media. Witchcraft old and new At rock bottom, modern witchcraft owes its roots to both Gnosticism and shamanism, although in many ways, being brought forward into the modern day by people such as Gerald Gardner and Alexander Sanders, some of that shamanic integrity has been radically changed. In becoming almost an urban religion, it has become very diverse in its practices and beliefs, and, on the surface, it is sometimes difficult to perceive the basic core convictions. Witchcraft develops through the large number of groups that exist with intrinsic bonds to one another. On the whole, these are looser than those that you will find between the various Christian churches. Each group or coven has its traditions and beliefs, develops its rituals, and can exist – if necessary – in isolation, much as Gnostic groups did in the pre-Christian era. It is perhaps this latter quality that has given rise to the huge upsurge in the existence of solitary witches but has also resulted in the survival of The Craft despite persecution and danger. The basic principles of The Craft are as follows: 1. The first principle is that of love and is expressed in the ethic ‘do as you will, so long as you harm none. This love is not emotional but is seen as an outpouring and sharing of basic energy or force as communicated about other beings, whether they are human or otherwise. Harm, which is seen as unethical, is an unjustified action with no cause; harming others can be done by words, thoughts, or deeds. Doing something that ultimately harms oneself is not acceptable. 2. The witch should act within the structure of the Law of Cause and Effect. Every action has its reaction, and every effect has its cause. This is a principle that holds within the human realm. It is believed that all things happen according to this law. From a human perspective – though not from a divine – nothing in the universe can occur outside this law, though we may not always enjoy the relationship between a given effect and its cause. 3. Supplementary to this is the Law of Three, which states that whatever goes forth must return threefold, whether good or ill. Our actions affect others more than people realize, and the resulting reactions are also part of the package. It is a very basic application of the tenet ‘As ye sow, so also shall ye reap’. This is why magical spells and rituals must be very carefully considered and full responsibility accepted before action is taken. 4. For this reason, anyone practicing witchcraft needs to recognize and harmonize with Universal forces in agreement with the Law of Polarity. Everything is dual; everything has two poles; everything has its opposite; for every action, there is a reaction; everything can be categorized as either active or reactive concerning other things. 5. Recognizing this polarity means that, while the Wiccan religion acknowledges that fundamentally there is one Ultimate Being, members worship and relate to the Divine as the archetypal polarity of God and Goddess, the Male and Female principle, the All-Father and the Great Mother. As has been said: Godhead is one unique and transcendent wholeness, beyond any limitations or expressions; thus, it is beyond our human capacity to understand and identify with this principle of Cosmic Oneness, except as It is revealed to us in terms of Its attributes and operation. These five concepts are supposedly as close as humans can get to the Godhead, given the constraints of the human limits of understanding and expression. The practice of the ‘Mystery Religions, however, allows mankind to live within the principle of cosmic oneness. ‘As above, so below’ is another principle that can be accepted. That which exists in the macrocosm (the heavens) exists, on a smaller scale and to a lesser degree, in the microcosm (the physical world). The powers of the universe are present also in the human being, though on the whole, they are not properly utilized. The abilities and qualities of ‘being’ can be activated and used if the proper techniques and initiations are practiced. The secrets of the hidden knowledge must be concealed from the unworthy, however, because much harm can be done by those who have power without responsibility. The Craft is a natural religion, seen in nature as the expression and revelation of divinity. Humanity can exert the power of the gods; to be a channel for the Godhead to manifest in a multitude of ways.

Ancillary technology consists of providing an organization or system with the necessary support to the operations or primary activities. Ancillary technology in healthcare is used to improve a physician, dentist, or clinician’s operational efficiency by streamlining all the secondary processes. Ancillary services, also known as ancillary health care, refer to a comprehensive range of healthcare services that are provided to support the work of the primary clinician. Types of Ancillary Technology Ancillary services in healthcare are classified into three types. 1 Diagnostic Services Diagnostic services facilitate a timely, cost-effective care in a secure environment. It consists of services of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiology. Diagnostic services function in the settings of acute care, ambulatory care, mental health, rehabilitation, and geriatric care. In ancillary services, the primary physician does not have to invest the time and money. The ancillary care providers provide efforts as nurses, technicians, administrators, and technologists. 2 Deliver / Therapeutic Care Therapeutic care refers to the secondary line of medical treatment that includes a wide range of services from rehabilitative care to occupational and physical therapies. It also includes maintaining a nurse-patient relationship that is based on mutual trust and comfort which enables the fulfillment of a patient’s physical and emotional needs. Some regular therapeutic care services include massage, speech therapy, and chiropractic services. 3 Care-Delivery or Custodial Services Custodial care consists of non-medical practices that help patients with day-to-day needs, like eating and bathing. Some patients with certain physical, medical, or mental conditions are not capable of performing basic daily activities on their own, such as using the toilet, bathing, walking, changing clothes, and so on. The care provided to these patients is referred to as custodial care. For a primary doctor, surgeon, or physician, providing and efficiently managing multiple services is not only costly but challenging as well. Ancillary care comes to the rescue by providing all these services, enabling the clinician to focus on the core processes and let the ancillary service providers take care of the secondary functions. Importance of Ancillary Healthcare Service Providers The healthcare business does not work the way it used to work a few years ago. All medical providers around the world share similar problems like dissatisfactory quality despite hard work, lack of skilled staff, and rising costs of healthcare, in general. Leading healthcare organizations have tried implementing several fixes like reducing errors, keeping a check on frauds, prioritizing patient satisfaction, adopting the digital approach, and whatnot. Unfortunately, none of them have worked to its full potential; it’s time for a new strategy that transforms the core operations. It is necessary to undergo a paradigm shift from a supply-driven system revolving around the patients to a patient-centric system that focuses on patients’ needs. Therefore, instead of focusing on maximizing profits and volumes, it is essential to concentrate on consumer satisfaction and patient outcomes. Moreover, today’s fragmented system needs to be replaced with a system that concentrates on medical conditions and health delivery organizations to maximize the quality of healthcare. Ancillary services act as a suitable solution for this problem, as it provides an overarching strategy to transform the overall operations and management in healthcare organizations. It intends to increase the value of care, which enables organizations to become more value-oriented and help them cater to the interests and concerns of the patients. Here is how ancillary healthcare service providers batter a change in the traditional healthcare management process. - It helps clinicians organize into Integrated Practice Units. - Ancillary services enable physicians or organizations to measure the outcomes and all the coss-to-the-patients. - It promotes a shift towards bulk payments for care cycles. - Ancillary care providers facilitate the integration of care delivery systems by defining the scope of services and concentrate volume in a few places. - These services also play a vital role in expanding the geographic reach of healthcare delivery. - It helps build a supporting information technology platform. Advantages of Ancillary Services Ancillary care services comprise around 30% of the total medical spending, making it essential for every healthcare service provider. These services help reduce the core workload as all the secondary care is facilitated by ancillary providers. Additionally, these providers are cost-saving and prudent, making them an ideal alternative to the outpatient physician and hospital services. Let’s discuss some proven benefits of ancillary healthcare service providers. 1 Administrative Resources Ancillary services for primary care play a vital role in saving time and operational costs. The providers, instead of operating independently, work for you and receive payment processing, collections, resolution management, and appeals on your behalf . Therefore, they ensure your patients receive the best secondary care, which is essential for acquiring and retaining new patients. 2 Increased Patient Access Ancillary services enable you to expand your patient reach by connecting you to a wider patient base insured under worker compensation, group health, secondary group health, auto medical, and medicare plans. Ancillary care allows you to be in a company of well-skilled experts and technicians. These services are certified in providing stringent quality and control standards. They regularly monitor the network to ensure the patients are receiving excellent-quality care. 4 Education and Support Ancillary service providers are medical experts too, and readily educate the patients and payers on the advantages of how their services can bear a change in the overall clinic operation. Challenges in Implementing Ancillary Technology in the Healthcare Sector Being a broad, multi-faceted industry, it faces a bunch of problems as well, as discussed below. Lack of Interoperability One of the major challenges in ancillary technology is the absence of compatibility in the computers or systems utilized by ancillary care providers for coding, billing, and monitoring patient care. The setup for communicating and billing with payers and providers is disintegrated, which is a critical factor if the care shifts from the individual patients to a society or population health model. Patient satisfaction, utilization management, and adequate care are some of the major aspects that can affect the service, providing the ability of ancillary care providers. Lack of Consumer Ability A significant factor that determines the viability of ancillary providers is the consumers’ ability to select the delivery of care. The large deductible of patients is a substantial influence on their decisions on how and where to get the care and how much money do they wish to spend. From the price at which they need an x-ray to the location at which they want to receive physical therapy, consumers nowadays are more conscious and want the best options at the best price. - If ancillary providers operate as independent businesses, they will have to face limited leverages. A few years back, working on their own used to be rewarding, but now, providers are in search of better services at low prices, which poses a challenge for ancillary services. Healthcare providers want to pay less for materials and better business solutions, which is possible only if ancillary providers agree on sharing the same goals and increased authority. Wrapping It Up Ancillary technology has been out for a while now, but it has been until recently that healthcare providers have commenced readily adopting these services. Ancillary care helps organizations reduce their costs and inefficiency by streamlining secondary care processes essential for appropriate patient care. It also enables clinics and hospitals to expand their reach and attract more patients. If you are a doctor, physician, dentist, or clinician, make sure you embrace the ancillary technology and provide your organization with improved productivity and profits.

In the vast landscape of an application, each feature is like a landmark. The goal is to make sure we visit each of these landmarks to ensure they are as expected. That's where the test scenarios come in. They provide a high-level view, a roadmap of all the features (landmarks) that need to be tested. Each test scenario can be thought of as a potential route that a user might take through the software or application. This makes them an invaluable tool for ensuring all functionalities are checked and validated. But what is test scenario, and why is it so vital? Without test scenarios, you could miss testing some features, overlook potential user journeys, or, in worst-case scenarios, let bugs slip into the production environment. This blog covers the importance of writing test scenarios, its comparison with test scripts and cases, and a detailed example of creating test scenarios for testing an app with HeadSpin. What are test scenarios? In the field of software testing, a test scenario holds a significant position. But what is test scenario? Test scenarios are high-level descriptions in the software testing process that outline possible user paths or activities that can take place on the application or system under test. They provide a generalized view of what should be tested without detailing the specific test steps. Each Test scenario encapsulates a sequence of actions a user may take, with the goal of validating the behavior of a feature or functionality. Essentially, they define 'what' to test, ensuring that all possible user interactions with the software are covered and validated. Why should you create test scenarios? Creating test scenarios is akin to drawing out a detailed map or itinerary for this journey through the software. By outlining all possible paths a user might take, test scenarios make sure we test every functionality of the system, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Creating test scenarios is a critical step in the software testing process for several reasons: 1. Ensures comprehensive coverage: Test scenarios ensure that all functionalities of the system are tested. They provide a roadmap that covers all possible user interactions with the software. 2. Improves efficiency: They help testers identify the maximum number of test cases with minimal overlap, making the testing process more efficient. 3. Enhances clarity and organization: Test scenarios provide a clear understanding of the application flow and business requirements, aiding in better organization and planning of the testing process. 4. Facilitates team collaboration: They serve as a communication tool between testers, developers, and stakeholders, facilitating a better understanding of the system’s functionalities and the scope of testing. 5. Helps in risk mitigation: With well-defined test scenarios, potential risks can be identified early, and mitigation plans can be put in place, leading to a high-quality, reliable software product. In essence, creating test scenarios is like plotting your journey before starting a road trip. They guide you on what path to take, ensuring no important features are missed, ultimately leading to a robust and thoroughly tested software application. Decoding testing terminology: Test scripts vs. test scenarios vs. test cases In the world of software testing, terminology like test script, test scenario, and test case might seem interchangeable, but they represent distinct elements in the testing process. Let's break down what each term means and identify their differences. 1. Test script A test script refers to a set of instructions or a program written in a scripting language that is executed to perform a specific test on a software application. It includes the detailed steps, data, and expected outcomes necessary to automate testing, particularly in regression or performance testing. - Often used for automated testing. - It is a written code that follows a step-by-step process. - Contains both actions to perform and expected results. 2. Test scenario What is test scenario? A test scenario refers to a high-level description of what needs to be tested within the system. It outlines a specific pathway a user might take and provides a generalized view of functionality or feature to be tested without diving into detailed steps. - High-level description, often a one-liner that encapsulates a user journey. - Focuses on 'what' to test rather than 'how' to test. - Guides the creation of multiple test cases. 3. Test case A test case is a set of specific conditions or variables under which a tester will evaluate whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly. It contains detailed steps, data inputs, preconditions, postconditions, and expected results to guide manual testing. - Contains detailed instructions for the execution of a particular testing scenario. - Involves specific inputs, preconditions, expected outcomes, and postconditions. - Can be both manual and automated. Comparison and key differences Test script: Primarily used in automated testing, it is a coded set of instructions. Test scenario: A high-level outline of functionalities guiding what to test. Test case: A detailed guide for manual or automated testing, including step-by-step instructions and expected outcomes. Test Case vs Test Scenario: Key Differences When developing test documentation for software testing, it's crucial to distinguish between Test Cases and Test Scenarios due to their distinct roles in the testing process. Here are the key differences: - Definition: A Test Case is a detailed instruction that specifies what to test, how to test, and the expected result for a particular functionality. A Test Scenario is about what to test, focusing on the overall functionality without specifying how to conduct the test. - Granularity: Test Cases are more detailed and specific, including step-by-step instructions for performing a test. Test Scenarios are broader and more abstract, outlining the scope and objectives of what needs to be tested. - Purpose: Test Cases aim to verify the specific behavior of a feature in detail. Test Scenarios aim to ensure that all major functionalities are covered in the testing process, providing a broader view of the application's performance. - Documentation: Test Cases require detailed documentation, including preconditions, test steps, expected results, and post-conditions. Test Scenarios can be documented more succinctly, often in a list or table format, summarizing the key areas to be tested. - Usage: Test Cases are used for manual and automated testing, providing a clear guide for testers. Test Scenarios are typically used during the test planning phase to identify the critical functionalities that need to be tested, serving as a checklist for creating Test Cases. Understanding these differences helps organize and execute software testing, ensuring detailed functionality checks and comprehensive coverage of the application's features. Determining when to use test scenarios, test cases, and test scripts? In the software testing process, understanding when to use test scenarios, test cases, and test scripts is essential to ensure effective and efficient testing. Here's an overview of when each one is most relevant: Now that we grasp the concept of 'What is test scenario,' the next consideration is 'when.' In the software testing process, it is crucial to comprehend when to employ test scenarios, test cases, and test scripts to ensure effective and efficient testing. Here's an overview of the situations in which each one is most relevant Once the test scenarios are defined, the next step is to create detailed test cases for each scenario. A test case provides a set of specific conditions or variables under which a tester determines whether the system under test satisfies the requirements and works correctly. It includes step-by-step procedures to follow, data to be inputted, and the expected outcome. These are used during the execution phase of the testing process. Test scripts, on the other hand, are most commonly used in automated testing. They are essentially coded instructions for automated tests, written in a programming or scripting language that a testing tool can interpret and execute. Test scripts are primarily used in cases where certain tests are repeated frequently (regression testing) or require a large amount of data to be validated (performance testing). Some peculiarities associated with creating test scenarios - Test scenarios cover a broad scope, ensuring a comprehensive view of the software's functionality. - They offer a user-centric perspective, focusing on different ways users might interact with the software. - Test scenarios help simplify complex systems by breaking down the system into manageable chunks, each focusing on a specific user journey or functionality. - They guide the creation of test cases, with each scenario having multiple related test cases. - Test scenarios can assist in prioritizing testing activities by assigning higher priorities to scenarios associated with critical functionalities. - Being high-level and less technical than test cases or scripts, test scenarios facilitate effective communication with stakeholders, including project managers, developers, and clients.

Game loading: Test if the game loads correctly when the user selects it, including loading all game assets and any necessary data. 4. Gameplay: Test the core game mechanics, such as character movement, combat system (if applicable), game progression, score updates, and game rules adherence. 5. Saving and loading game progress: Test if the game correctly saves the player's progress and if the player can load saved progress when they reopen the app. 6. In-app purchases: Test the functionality of making in-app purchases, if applicable, including transaction processing and receipt of purchased items. 7. Performance: Test the game's performance, including loading times, frame rates, and responsiveness, especially under high stress or with long periods of use. 8. Compatibility: Test the game's compatibility with different device models, operating systems, and screen sizes. Creating test scenarios is not merely a step in the software testing process; it's a strategic approach that underpins quality assurance. By meticulously crafting scenarios that mirror real-world usage, testers can discover unseen flaws and enhance software reliability. From defining objectives and understanding user behaviors to collaborating with cross-functional teams, the art of creating test scenarios necessitates a blend of technical expertise and creative thinking. Embracing these practices not only ensures that the final product aligns with user expectations but also fosters a culture of excellence within the development team. As we advance into an era where software plays an ever more critical role in our daily lives, the ability to generate effective test scenarios will remain a pivotal skill, strengthening the bond between developers, testers, and end-users. The investment in creating comprehensive and meaningful test scenarios pays off in the form of robust, resilient, and user-friendly software, elevating the user experience to new heights. Q1. What is the connection between risk analysis and test scenarios? Ans: Risk analysis helps in prioritizing test scenarios based on potential impact and likelihood of failure, ensuring critical areas are tested thoroughly. Q2. How do you maintain test scenarios across different versions of the software? Ans: Test scenarios should be versioned and managed using source control systems, with proper documentation to reflect changes in requirements or functionalities across different versions. Q3. Can Test Scenarios be Derived from UML Diagrams or Other Modeling Techniques? Ans: Test scenarios can be derived from UML diagrams and other modeling techniques. They offer a visual representation of system interactions, workflows, or logic flow, allowing testers to create scenarios that align with the design and architecture of the application. This approach ensures comprehensive coverage and helps in pinpointing specific paths or conditions for testing.

Cardiology is a term related to the medical line, which is used for doctors who treat diseases related to the heart, this treatment can range from simple medicines to surgery. Cardiologist is a specialist in heart disease, he treats from the smallest heart disease to major diseases like heart attack. That is, doctors who treat all types of heart related diseases are called cardiologists, and this work is called Cardiology. Cardiologist is a heart specialist, but there are many posts in this, there are many types of work, for which there are different cardiologists. You can see these posts below. ECG ( Electro Cardio Graphic ) Cardiovascular Technologist Assistant Cardiology Supervisor Cardiac Electro Cardiography Technician The work of a cardiologist is very difficult and sensitive. Because a person can die due to a mistake of a doctor, as well as a cardiologist can save a dying person. What does a cardiologist do? Cardiologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases related to the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels. They are highly trained experts in the field of cardiology, which is a branch of internal medicine. The cardiovascular system is critical for maintaining overall health as it is responsible for pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. Cardiologists play a crucial role in helping patients manage various heart conditions, providing both non-invasive treatments and, in some cases, surgical interventions. Diagnosis: Cardiologists use various diagnostic tests and tools, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs), stress tests, echocardiograms, and cardiac catheterization, to evaluate heart function and diagnose heart diseases. Treatment: They develop personalized treatment plans for patients with heart conditions. This may involve lifestyle changes, medication management, or interventional procedures like angioplasty and stent placement. Prevention: Cardiologists also focus on preventive measures to reduce the risk of heart diseases. They may advise patients on lifestyle modifications, such as adopting a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Post-operative care: For patients who undergo heart surgeries or interventions, cardiologists provide post-operative care and monitor their recovery. Managing chronic conditions: Cardiologists often care for patients with chronic heart conditions like heart failure, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease, providing ongoing management and support. Collaborating with other specialists: They work in close collaboration with other healthcare professionals, including cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists, and primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated patient care. To become a cardiologist, one must complete medical school, followed by a residency in internal medicine, and then pursue a fellowship in cardiology. This extensive training equips cardiologists with the knowledge and skills needed to handle a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. If you have concerns about your heart health or are experiencing symptoms related to your cardiovascular system, it's important to consult with a qualified cardiologist for proper evaluation and management. A heart doctor is commonly referred to as a "cardiologist." Cardiologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and conditions related to the heart and the cardiovascular system. They are experts in the field of cardiology and have undergone extensive training to care for patients with various heart-related issues. If you have concerns about your heart health or need specialized care for a heart condition, a cardiologist is the medical professional you should seek out. There are several reasons why you might need to see a cardiologist. Here are some common situations or symptoms that warrant a visit to a heart specialist: Chest pain: If you experience chest pain or discomfort, especially if it radiates to your arm, jaw, or back, it could be a sign of a heart-related issue, such as angina or a heart attack. Heart Blockage: When the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart are unable to supply blood to the heart completely or stop circulation completely, this condition of the heart is called heart blockage. The coronary arteries transport oxygen and essential nutrients along with blood to the heart. There is plaque in the outer surface in the coronary arteries, when the size of the plaque starts increasing gradually, then the blood flow in the coronary arteries does not go well or stops completely. Blockage caused by plaques in the coronary arteries is called heart blockage. In the part of the heart where blood is not able to circulate, the parasite starts dying slowly, which can also lead to fatal problems like heart attack. Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing, particularly during physical activity or while lying down, can be indicative of heart problems like heart failure or heart valve issues. High blood pressure: If you have consistently elevated blood pressure readings, a cardiologist can help manage and treat hypertension to reduce the risk of complications like stroke and heart disease. Palpitations: If you feel irregular, rapid, or skipped heartbeats, it's essential to get evaluated by a cardiologist to determine the underlying cause. Family history of heart disease: If there is a history of heart disease in your family, especially at a young age, a cardiologist can assess your risk factors and suggest preventive measures. High cholesterol: Elevated cholesterol levels can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries), leading to heart problems. A cardiologist can help manage cholesterol levels and assess your cardiovascular risk. Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes have a higher risk of developing heart-related issues, so regular check-ups with a cardiologist are essential. Pre-existing heart conditions: If you have been diagnosed with a heart condition, such as arrhythmias, heart valve disease, or congenital heart defects, a cardiologist will provide ongoing management and monitoring. Fatigue and weakness: Unexplained fatigue and weakness could be symptoms of heart problems, particularly if they worsen with physical activity. Swelling in the legs: Fluid retention and swelling in the legs can indicate heart failure or other cardiovascular issues. Pre-operative evaluation: If you're planning to undergo surgery, especially for non-cardiac procedures, a cardiologist may assess your heart health to ensure you can safely tolerate the surgery. Lifestyle changes: If you want to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle, a cardiologist can offer guidance on diet, exercise, and other preventive measures. Remember, even if you don't have any symptoms but have risk factors for heart disease (e.g., smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history), seeing a cardiologist for a check-up and risk assessment can be beneficial for your long-term heart health. Always consult with your primary care physician or get a referral if you think you may need to see a cardiologist. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial in maintaining a healthy heart. Looking for the best heart doctor or heart specialist near Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur ?

The following is a list of solutions to problems I have encountered repeatedly in my students’ formal writing, such as coursework, research papers, and literature surveys. It is a long list. People have a lot of problems. Some of the items sound picky or trivial, even to me. Yet bad grammar, bad style, and poor organization will make it very difficult for you to convey your ideas clearly and professionally, and will limit your academic and professional success. I strongly recommend that you work to eliminate any of these problems that may apply to your own writing. — Dr. James A. Bednar Rules for formal writing are quite strict, though often unstated. Formal writing is used in academic and scientific settings whenever you want to convey your ideas to a wide audience, with many possible backgrounds and assumptions. Unlike casual conversation or emails to friends, formal writing needs to be clear, unambiguous, literal, and well structured. Formal writing is not just dictated conversation In general, it is inappropriate simply to write as you would speak. In conversation, the listener can ask for clarification or elaboration easily, and thus the speaker can use imprecise language, ramble from topic to topic freely, and so on. Formal writing must instead stand on its own, conveying the author’s thesis clearly through words alone. As a result, formal writing requires substantial effort to construct meaningful sentences, paragraphs, and arguments relevant to a well-defined thesis. The best formal writing will be difficult to write but very easy to read. The author’s time and effort spent on writing will be repaid with the time and effort saved by the (many) readers. Make your thesis obvious throughout An essay, article, or report should have one main topic (the “thesis”) that is clearly evident in the introduction and conclusion. Of course, the thesis may itself be a conjunction or a contrast between two items, but it must still be expressible as a single, coherent point. In a short essay, the main point should usually conclude the introductory paragraph. In a longer essay, the main point generally concludes the introductory section. The reader should never be in any doubt about what your thesis is; whenever you think it might not be absolutely obvious, remind the reader again. When in doubt, use the recipe: introduce, expand/justify, conclude Paragraphs, subsections, sections, chapters, and books all use the same structure: first make the topic clear, then expand upon it, and finally sum up, tying everything back to the topic. At each level, you need to tell the reader what you will be trying to say (in this paragraph, section, etc.), then you need to cover all the relevant material, clearly relating it to your stated point, and finally you need to tie the subtopics together so that they do indeed add up to establish the point that you promised. Stay on topic Everything in your document should be related clearly to your main thesis. You can write other papers later for anything else you might want to say. The reason your reader is reading this particular paper of yours is that he or she wants to know about your main topic, not simply about everything you might want to say (unless for some narcissistic reason “everything you might want to say” is your clearly stated main topic). Conversely, there is no need to bring up items simply because they relate to your main topic, if you do not have anything to say about them. If you do bring something up, say something important about it! Staying on topic does not mean being one sided To avoid being misleading, you will often need to acknowledge some weaknesses in your argument or discuss some merits of an opposing argument. It is quite appropriate to discuss such opposing views when they are relevant, i.e., when they relate directly to the main topic of your paper. For instance, if you are reviewing a paper and arguing that it was not written well overall, it is usually a good idea to point out the few things that were done well, e.g. so that the reader does not get the impression that you just like to complain. Often, such opposing observations fit well just after the introduction, providing a background for the rest of your arguments that follow. Whenever you do include such material, i.e. things that go in the direction opposite to your main thesis, be careful to put it into only a few well-defined places, reorganizing your argument to achieve that when necessary. Jumping back and forth will confuse the reader unnecessarily. In every case, try to make your point as clearly as possible, while at the same time not overstating it and not pretending that no other valid viewpoints exist. Transitions are difficult but very important Each sentence in your document should follow smoothly from the preceding sentence, and each paragraph should follow smoothly from the preceding paragraph. The world is arguably an unstructured jumble of ideas, but anything that you expect the reader to read from start to finish needs to be a linear progression along one single path. Transition words and phrases are what make it possible for a reader to follow you easily as you explore the various ideas in your paper. Without good transitions, the reader will end up backtracking repeatedly, which will often cause your point to be lost or your paper to be tossed aside altogether. One clue that your writing needs better transitions is if you find that you can cut and paste paragraphs from one section to another without doing substantial rewriting of how the paragraph begins and ends. If making such rearrangements is easy, then you have not been linking your paragraphs into a coherent narrative that reads well from start to finish. In practice, making smooth transitions is very difficult. Learning to do it takes a lot of practice at first, and actually making the transitions smooth takes a lot of effort every time you write or revise something. One rule of thumb is that whenever you switch topics, you should try to provide a verbal clue that you are doing so, using transitions like “However, …”, “As a result, …”, “For comparison, “, etc. If you notice that you have to add these words between most of your sentences, not just the paragraphs, then you are bouncing around too much. In that case, you need to reorganize your document to group related thoughts together, switching topics only when necessary. Once the organization is good, all you can do is read and reread what you write, rewording it until each new item follows easily from those before it. Write what you mean, mean what you write Speakers use many informal, colloquial phrases in casual conversation, usually intending to convey meanings other than what the words literally indicate. For instance, we often speak informally of “going the extra mile”, “at the end of the day”, “hard facts”, things being “crystal clear” or “pretty” convincing, someone “sticking to” a topic, readers being “turned off”, something “really” being the case, etc. Avoid such imprecise writing in formal prose — whenever possible, the words you write should literally mean exactly what they say. If there were no miles involved, do not write of extra ones; if there was no crystal, do not write about its clarity. Among other benefits, avoiding such informal language will ensure that your meaning is obvious even to those who have not learned the currently popular idioms, such as those for whom English is a second language and those who might read your writing years from now or in another part of the world. Formal writing should be clear to as many people as possible, and its meaning should not depend on the whims of your local dialect of English. It is a permanent and public record of your ideas, and should mean precisely what you have written. Unfortunately, specifying minimum page requirements encourages redundancy, but please try to avoid that temptation. When two words will do, there is no need to use twenty. Whenever you finish a sentence or paragraph, read over it to see if any words or sentences can be eliminated — often your point will get much stronger when you do so. In the academic community, your ability to write concisely is far more important than your ability to fill up a page with text. Academic courses specify page minimums to ensure that you write an essay of the appropriate depth, not to test whether you can say the same thing a dozen different ways just to fill up space. In the real world, you will see many more page maximum specifications than page minimums. Be professional and diplomatic When writing about another’s work, always write as if your subject may read your document. Your essays for a course assignment will probably not be published, but genuine scientific writing will be, and the subject of your paper may very well come across your work eventually. Thus it is crucial to avoid pejorative, insulting, and offensive terms like “attempt to”, “a waste of time”, “pointless”, etc. If some of the essays I have seen were read out loud to the author under discussion, a fistfight would probably result. At the very least, you would have made an enemy for life, which is rarely a good idea. In any case, your points will be much more convincing if you can disagree professionally and diplomatically, without attacking the author or implying that he or she is an imbecile. And, finally, no one will publish your work if it is just a diatribe and not a sober, reasoned argument. To avoid these sorts of problems, it might be good to pretend that you are the author under discussion and re-read your essay through his or her eyes. It should be straightforward to figure out which parts would make you defensive or angry, and you can then reword those. Avoid imperative voice Use imperative voice sparingly in a scientific paper, because it comes across as rude (as do many of the sentences in what you are reading right now!). E.g. do not say “Recall that …”. Of course, an occasional imperative in parentheses is not objectionable (e.g. “(see Walker 1996 for more details).”). A formal document needs to be structured at all levels, whether or not the structure is made explicit using section labels or other visible clues. The standard format for an effective essay or article is to: (1) present a coherent thesis in the introduction, (2) try your hardest to convince the reader of your thesis in the body of the paper, and (3) restate the thesis in the conclusion so that the reader remains quite sure what your thesis is, and so that the reader can decide whether he or she was convinced. Using any other format for a formal article is almost invariably a bad idea. The introduction and conclusions do not always need to be labelled as such, but they need to be there. Note that an abstract is no substitute for an introduction; abstracts act as an independent miniature version of the article, not part of the introduction. Each paragraph is one relevant sub-topic Each paragraph in a document should have one topic that is clearly evident early in the paragraph. Every paragraph should have a clear relationship to the main topic of your document; if not, either the paragraph should be eliminated, or the main topic should be revised. Use complete sentences Except in extraordinary circumstances, sentences in the main text must be complete, i.e., they must have a subject and a verb, so that they express an entire thought, not just a fragment or the beginning of a thought. Note that most “-ing” words are not verbs. “The light turning green” is just a fragment, i.e., a start to a sentence or a part of one. To be a sentence that you could use on its own followed by a period, it would have to be “The light turned green”, which has both a subject and a verb. Put appropriate punctuation between sentences Two complete sentences can be divided with a period, question mark, or exclamation point, or they can be weakly connected as clauses with a semicolon. However, they can never be connected with a comma in formal writing! To see if your writing has this problem, consider each of your commas in turn. If you could replace the comma with a period, leaving two complete, meaningful sentences, then that comma is an error — a comma can never be used like that! Instead, replace the comma with a semicolon, in case you have two sentences that need to be linked in some generic way, or make the linkage explicit with a conjunction, or simply use a period, to leave two complete and independent sentences. Section titles for an article should say exactly and succinctly what the reader will get out of that section. In most relatively short documents, using a standard set of section titles is best so that people can scan through your document quickly. Section standards vary in different fields, but a common set is: Introduction, Background, Methods (for an experimental paper) or Architecture (for a modelling paper), Discussion, Future Work (often merged with Discussion), and Conclusion. If you do not use the standard titles, e.g. if you have labelled lower-level subsections, you should be quite explicit about what is in that section. Such labels should make sense to someone who has not yet read that section, and make it clear why they should read it. For instance, a section about adding a second eye to a simulation of single-eye vision could truthfully be called “Multiple eyes”, but that title is meaningless to someone scanning the document. Instead, it should be something like “Extending the model to explain stereo vision” whose meaning will be clear to the type of person likely to be reading the paper. Everything important goes in your introduction and conclusion Everyone who looks at your paper will at least skim the introduction and conclusion, and those who read it in depth will remember those two sections the best. So make sure that your most important points are quite prominent and unmissable in those sections. Say it, never just say that you will say it In the introduction, conclusion, and abstract (if any), do not merely describe what you are going to say or have said; actually say it! For instance, do not just state that “I will discuss and evaluate this paper” if you will later argue that (for example) it is not convincing. Instead state that the paper is unconvincing, and (in brief) why you believe that to be the case. Then you can elaborate on that point in subsequent paragraphs. If you have sections 1, 1.1, and 1.2, there must be an introductory material between 1 and 1.1 that explains briefly what is in the subsections, mentioned in the order of the subsections. That is, 1.1 should never follow just after 1 without some intervening text. If you have 1.1, there must always be a 1.2; otherwise 1 and 1.1 should be merged. Each 1.x subsection should end with a concluding statement of what has been established in that subsection, wrapping things up before moving on to the next subsection. Different communities have different expectations on what to put into figure captions. Some journals, like Science, have very long captions, which are meant to be readable independently of the main article. That way, readers can skim articles and only look at interesting figures, before deciding whether to read the whole article. In such cases, you must ensure that all of the main points of the figure are also mentioned in the text of the article, so that someone reading the article straight through will not miss them. Other journals and other publications like books, theses, and proposals tend to have very little in the caption, with the figures being understandable only when reading the main text. Even in such cases, I myself prefer to put all the graphical details like “the dotted line represents” in the caption, plus enough context so that the import of the figure is clear. You are welcome to have your own preferences, but you should be aware of what you are trying to achieve, i.e. whether you want the caption to be readable on its own.

It is nine months, in Kufi village, since Ajumobi died in the presence of his wife. Yaremi is suspected as the killer of her husband by mourners and her husbands relatives. After the burial of Ajumobi, Yaremi is mocked at and abandoned by those who should be there for her to comfort her. She is left to cater for herself and her grandson, Woye. Her two daughters, Segi and Wura, are living with their husbands and her only son, Alani, is living in the city where he seldom thinks of coming back home to see his mother. So all alone, except for the company provided by her grandson, Yaremi braces herself up to face the uncertain future of widowhood. She expends all her energy in her taffeta dyeing business and vows to remain single in honour of the memory of her late husband and new-found independence from male subjugation and dominance. Yaremi is not alone in her predicament. There are other widows who are suffering from humiliation, mockery and abandonment occasioned by the death of their husbands and tradition. These women―Dedewe, Fayoyin and Redeke―have their heads shaved, are locked up in the same room with their deceased husbands and are made to chant the widow’s song of lamentation. Yaremi is learning to settle down and accept her new role as a hardworking widow and a voice to be reckoned with in the village of Kufi, but her problems are far from being over. The tradition demands that she choose a new husband in a ceremony called Cap-picking. She rejects the three caps, representing three men, presented to her. This singular act shocks the elders and the villagers and in return, they hate Yaremi the more and isolate her. Women are meant to be submissive according to the tradition of the community. The first daughter of Yaremi, Segi, whose son is living with Yaremi, comes back to take her son; the boy has been expressing a strong wish to go to school. Alani, Yarems only son whose life has been stolen by the city, comes back, but could not stay more than a few hours with his mother. On the heels of his departure comes the injuction from the village elders that Yaremi has been exiled and her husbands property confiscated. In resentment of culture, tradition and everything other thing that holds her bound as a widow, Yaremi yanks off her mourning dress and a fresh determination engulfs her. She is down but not out. Life for her must continue despite the challenges she is facing. With God by her side, she has the hope of a better tomorrow. She is determined to fight for her dignity. CHAPTER BY CHAPTER SUMMARY SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 1 It is now nine months after the death of Ajumobi, Yaremis husband. Yaremi has been deserted by everyone except her grandson, Woye, who keeps her company and helps her with her taffeta dyeing business. She is insulted and ostracised because her husbands relatives and villagers think that she has a hand in the death of her husband. However, Ajumobi died a natural death and not a shameful one. He lived like a man and died like a man. Meanwhile, the two daughters of Yaremi, Segi and Wura, have been given away in marriage. Her only son, Alani, works as a furniture carpenter in the city of Ibadan. He seldom visits home as he sees his village as backward and uncivilised. Yaremi is now left with her grandson and her taffeta dyeing business. These are her only consolation and she wastes no time in giving herself to them. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 2 Yaremi has learnt to cushion the effects of her loneliness with hard work on the farm and in her kitchen. She spends a great deal of her time washing plates, boiling water, frying meat, arranging things and cleaning all cooking utensils. She is aware that life for her has become as hot as the fire that comes from her kitchen, but she is ready to fight to survive. Courageously, she takes on her daily routine and never allows for a dull or idle moment. She abhors laziness. She mocks at and chides young ladies who are too lazy to move their bones. To her, life has become tough and only the tough can survive. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 3 Widowhood and its attendant challenges are not unique to Yaremi. On the slippery path to the stream which has been figuratively called the Road of Life, other widows are seen discussing their common plight as widows. They talk about their black mourning dress, unkempt hair and lack of hope and security. They are no longer allowed to participate in social activities like singing and dancing. The burdens that the widows carry in their minds are a million times heavier than the jars of water on their heads. The insult, assault and humiliation of three widows stand out. When Dedewes husband died, she was accused of causing her husbands death and was forced to confess to the sins of jealousy, adultery, defamation and disparagement. She was locked up with the corpse of her husband inside a dimly lit room afterwards. In Fayoyins case, she was given libation to lick to cleanse her of all the sins she allegedly committed. Later, cold water was poured on her head and a barber was summoned to give her a clean shave which gave her the look of a mad woman. Finally, Radeke was forced to kneel before her husbands dead body to sing the widows traditional song of innocence and lamentation. She was called a bloody liar by the mad mob. Curses and abuses were bountifully rained on her. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 4 Yaremi has finally settled into a life of hard work. She loves her work and multitasks to get so much accomplished. Work for her has become a magical cure for loneliness and frustration; a vaccine to fight against fatigue and boredom. In her leisure, she still finds time to exchange pleasantries with her neighbours, asking them harmless questions. She equally engages Woye in happy reminiscences, telling him stories of her own childhood days. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 5 This chapter reveals the way of life of the people of Kufi Village. The people are superstitious. They believe that a man cannot die a natural death; the wife of a man must have done something evil to cause the death of her husband. When a hawk was seen perching on the roof of Ajumobi, the people started looking askance at Yaremi. The cry of a hawk is associated with evil and bad omen. Subsequently, an oracle was consulted when Ajumobi went down with typhoid. The oracle is perceived as omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. The oracle decreed that it was too late; Ajumobi was not going to survive. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 6 Yaremi is unable to get rid of the memories of past events. Her mind is full of all the experiences she had with her husband before his demise. She is lonely and independent now, free from male subjugation, yet she misses the presence of her husband in her life. She remembers her husbands hunting prowess, manly control of his household and his dreams of getting a new wife. The death of Ajumobi created a big vacuum in Yaremis heart. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 7 Yaremi remembers the tough times she had with Ajumobi. They used to argue over trivial matters and heavy issues like taking on a new wife. Yaremi, sometimes, made Ajumobi miserable by the use of her tongue. Ajumobi, in turn, got angry sometimes, and gave her the beating of her life. Yaremi could not understand who gave men the right to beat their wives. The people of Kufi Village believe that men are free to treat women as they like as women would treat men as they want in the spirit world. Men are stronger than women in the physical world, but women become stronger than men in the spiritual world. Yaremi equally remembers the good times she had with her husband. Ajumobi loved and took care of her like a precious jewel. None can be compared to Ajumobi. Yaremi wishes she could have her man back. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 8 Yaremi strategises on how to make her taffeta dyeing business more profitable. She would stop selling on credit to those who give empty promises of payment. She would increase her production. The problem she has now is that Woye is sick and may not be able to help her carry her goods to the market where her customers will be waiting to purchase her taffeta. Her taffeta is regarded as the best in the market. Woyes illness causes a lot of anxiety for Yaremi. The villagers will lynch her should Woye die. That would be the second man she would be killing as the villagers trace the death of a man to a woman. So Yaremi tries all she could to get Woye back on his feet. She promises him heaven and earth and lavishes him with material things to recover him. Woye finally recovers, getting Yaremi out of an impending trouble. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 9 Women of Kufi are workabolics, rising with the sun and sleeping with the moon. Their work is unceasing, ranging from working on the farm, cooking food and washing of dishes, taking care of their children and showering affection on their husbands. They take their responsibility with grace and cheerfulness, seldom complaining and striking compromises almost all the time. They eat after their husbands and children have had their fill. They sit quietly to watch their husbands to detect their moods, pleasure and dispositions. They always look forward to the birth of their next babies which would secure for them the enhanced status of motherhood and wifehood. In Kufi, women face common challenges of which competition between wives for the affection and love of their man ranks the highest. Men are free to take as many wives as they think will satisfy them. These wives of a man usually fight and argue over who becomes the favourite of their man. The youngest wife usually wins as men prefer younger women to older, experienced ones. Meanwhile the women, whose husbands are still alive, are secretly envying Yaremis independence of mans authority. Yaremis business is booming and she never misses an opportunity to share her good fortune with others. This increases her influence in the society. Gradually, she becomes influencial and popular in the society. This development does not go down well with men. It poses a threat to their authority and status. They want their women submissive and pliable. There are men who are attracted by Yaremis personality. They try to sweet talk her into marrying them. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 10 Yaremi is gradually assuming the personality of a man. Her voice is becoming authoritative and harsh. She is becoming more and more impatient. Her hands are becoming coarse and dry like that of a man. A woman once told her after a friendly embrace that she was no longer a woman. However, this situation is good for Yaremi considering the challenges she is contending with and the pressures of life as a widow. She bluntly rejects all the men that are wooing her, and even rains abuses on them. She vows to keep her promises to her husband, not allowing any other man into her life. The presence of Ajumobi always seems present with her. The time has come for Yaremi to cast off the robes of widowhood and choose a new husband to replace the old one, according to the demands of the tradition. The elders insist that Yaremi should choose a new cap (husband) before purification. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 11 The ceremony of cap-picking (choosing husband) is a great ceremony for the people of Kufi, and their neighbours in the surrounding villages. Minstrels and rara chanters make the ceremony lively with their songs. The last cap-picking ceremony saw Dedewe, Fayoyin and Radeke choose new men to replace their dead husbands. So they are around to comfort Yaremi to make a good choice. The caps representing Ayanwale, the drummer; Olonade, the wood carver; and Lanwa, the farmer, are presented to Yaremi to make a choice. Yaremi rejects the three caps to the utter shock and amazement of the elders and the villagers who have gathered to witness the grand ceremony. The elders feel insulted as the custodians of the tradition and the villagers feel embarrassed. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 12 Yaremis popularity has begun to wane. Her unwavering stance on the issue of choosing a new husband does not go down well with the villagers. They are now reluctant to exchange pleasantries with her, avoiding normal interactions with her. Young ones in the village no longer come close to Yaremi after they are told that she is an unusual woman who should be avoided like a plague. It is even noised about that Yaremi is going to be ostracised or banished from Kufi. This ugly situation forces Yaremi to contemplate going back to her own village, Adeyipo or going to live with one of her daughters preferably, Segi. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 13 Yaremi is beginning to doubt and worry about her uncompromising position of not choosing a new husband, in the face of mounting pressure from the villagers. She does not know how long she is going to hold out. At this point, Segi, Yaremis first daughter, comes back to the village to visit her mother. Segi is Yaremis closest child as both of them share so many things in common. Yaremi empties her heart to her daughter, letting her into her sufferings since the death of her husband, Ajumobi. She talks about her loneliness, persecution, humiliation and the plan to make her choose a new husband. After an extensive consideration of the issue of a second marriage, segi and Yaremi decide against it: a second marriage at this time is not necessary for Yaremi. Woye is not bothered by the present state of things, being only a child. Lately, he has begun to show serious signs of his interest in schooling. Without hesitation, he tells his mother Segi, about his desire to go back to Olode with her to start schooling. The time is ripe to enroll Woye in the kindergarten school and the Anglican Junior Primary School at Olode is Segis choice for her son. Early the following morning, Segi and her son bid farewell to Yaremi, leaving her lonelier than before. She is not happy with Woyes departure, but she is not going to deny her grandson education. SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 14 Yaremi is on the verge of packing out of Kufi Village when her only son, Alani, appears suddenly. Alani has been in the city for ten years. He is lost to the trappings of the city life. His lifestyle has been greatly modified by the city. His skin is burnt and bleached and his hair dyed and twisted. He is described as a freak by his uncle who does not like his look. Uncle Deyo scolds him for neglecting his fathers property and for not identifying with his mother in her present trying times. Uncle Deyo conducts Alani round his fathers property. His fathers farm lies fallow, begging for attention. At the end of the trip, it is clear that Alani is not interested in his fathers property. He returns to the house annoyed and disappointed. He regales his mother with stories of his progress, comfort and pleasure in the city and a city girl he is planning to marry. Soon, he begins to dress up to leave for the city, to the utter amazement of his mother, leaving critical issues unattended to. Yaremi is yet to recover from the shock of her sons strange behaviour when the village elders announce the punitive measures taken against her: her husbands property is to be confiscated and she is to start packing her things for an immediate exile. With this last tragedy that seems like the straw that broke the camels back, one would think that Yaremi would give up all hope of redemption. But with courage and determination, she vows to fight to the last drop of her blood. If she must be sent into exile, then it must be her dead body. THEMES OF LONELY DAYS 1. The sorrows of widowhood: This is the most obvious central idea of the story. Bayo Adebowale took his time to x-ray the parlous circumstances surrounding the state of widowhood. In many African societies, widows are regarded by the relatives of their dead husbands as the cause of the death of their husbands. When a man dies, his wife must have done something wrong to cause his death. She must have cheated on him, spoken evil about him or envied his numerous concubines. So, a widow is forced to wear unattractive mourning clothes, her hair shaved as she confesses her sins against her husband. In extreme cases, some widows are locked up in a dimly lit room with the corpses of their dead husbands. Other challenges that are commonly faced by widows are loneliness and insecurity. Widows, in some African societies, are ostracised and avoided like a plague. Both the young and the old shun every relationship with widows. So in order to survive, widows turn to work as an escape route. They become workaholics, toiling from morning till night. In the case of Yaremi, she invests all her energy into her taffeta dyeing business. And when it seems like she is beginning to gain recognition and influence through hard work and generosity, the men rise to subdue her. Generally men want their women submissive and docile, so they can get them to do what they want at all times. 2. Victimisation and oppression of women: In many African societies, men see themselves as superior beings who should be held in high esteem by their inferior beings―women. A man cannot die a natural death; a woman must be the cause of his death through her sins. Therefore, the woman must be made to suffer humiliation, insult and assault. Men beat women at the slightest provocation and one cannot help but wonder who gave them the right. A woman must carry out her tasks dutifully ranging from working on the farm, taking care of the children, cooking for the family and showering love and affection on her husband, failure in any of these leading to serious argument and beating. As if women have not had enough, men arrogate to themselves the right to marry as many wives as they want. They change their older wives as they change their dirty linens. As a result, the women see themselves fighting and competing for the love and affection of one man―their husband. 3. Rural-urban migration: This theme is exemplified in the relationship between Alani and his mother Yaremi. Alani lives and works in the city of Ibadan. He is so carried away by the city life that his own root has become foreign and strange to him. In the same vein, his lifestyle has become a dismal wonder to his people. His uncle sees him as a freak because of his appearance. It is the tradition that the surviving son of a dead man should take care of his property, but not with Alani. He allows his fathers property to lie fallow and abandons his mother in the village. He rarely visits home, but when he does, it is just for a fleeting moment. The author uses Alanis position to frown at young people who abandon their home and culture for that of the Western. Culture is dynamic and people may see a need, once in a while, to travel, but one should remember to come back home to help develop ones place. Therefore, young people should be open to accept the good aspect of other cultures while holding the best of their own so that good civilisation can take place. 4. The negative effects of bad tradition: Bayo is very vocal in his criticism of the tradition that treats women as second class citizens. In the story, Lonely Days, the female characters we come across suffer one form of mistreatment or the other occasioned by tradition. In Kufi village, the people believe that men do not die a natural death. When a woman dies, no dust is raised, but when a man dies, then all hell is let loose. The wife of the deceased is accused of killing him and she is forced to perform some bad traditional practices for purification. Yaremi, the protagonist of Lonely Days, is ostracised when her husband, Ajumobi died. Dedewe is locked in a dark room with the body of her dead husband. Fayoyins head is scraped while Radeke is forced to sing the traditional song of innocence and lamentation. Furthermore, the tradition of the people of Kufi makes it possible for men to marry as many wives as they want. They can change their old wives with new ones and play them against one another. According to Bayo, these bad traditional practices should stop; people, whether male or female, should be given equal opportunity to pursue greatness, fulfillment and happiness. The tradition that regards women as mere objects to be purchased should be discouraged. 5. Superstition: Superstition is an irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome. It is equally a belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance. It is a fact that superstitious beliefs have still remained a disease in most parts of Africa even up to this century of enlightenment. Studies, carried out by development experts, have shown that superstitious ideas, even the ones rooted in religion, continue to hinder and thwart social and economic progress throughout the African continent. In Lonely Days, there are many examples of superstitious beliefs held by the people of Kufi. The people believe that the cry of a hawk portends a bad omen, so they are quick to connect the sickness of Ajumobi to the hawk perching on his roof. Furthermore, the people believe that women become stronger than their male counterparts in the spirit world. Therefore, men are free to treat women how they like in the physical world knowing that women will get their vengeance in the spirit world. These ideas are not proven, yet the people of Kufi hold them tenaciously, leaving us to imagine the extent of damage these illogical ideas will cause before their meaninglessness is uncovered. SETTING OF LONELY DAYS The events of the story Lonely Days, took place in Kufi, a little village in Oyo State in the south-western part of Nigeria. It is a primitive village with all its crude and obnoxious customs and traditions. The people are mostly agrarian. They work on the farms in the day and hunt at night. They dont use mechanized tools. They live in mud houses and thatch roofs. The oracle is regarded as the highest authority. The villagers resort to it when all human efforts have failed and its pronouncements are incontestable. The council of elders is next in authority. The elders are custodians of the tradition; their decision can only be voided by the oracle. In Kufi, women are meant to be seen, not heard. The prevailing atmosphere is hostile towards women, especially widows. Widows are suspected to have caused the death of their husbands by their sins. Polygamy is the order of the day. Men are free to marry as many wives as they can afford, and women are free to complain as much as they want. And when a man is fed up by the verbal attack of one of his wives, he uses beating to bring her back under control. Style: The story is narrated with the typical eye of God point of view. The author took the position of an omniscient observer, telling us what each character was doing at every point in time and what the characters were thinking. Such third person pronouns are he, she they, her, him, his, and them are predominant. The story has fourteen chapters with every chapter unveiling a kind of progressive challenges that widows face after the death of their husbands. Irony: This means saying one thing and meaning another. It is also an amusing or strange aspect of a situation that is very different from what you expect. It is ironical that men who accuse widows of killing their husbands would turn around to ask for the hands of the widows in marriage. One would expect the men to stay away from these widows who allegedly killed their husbands. It is equally ironical that Dedewe, Fayoyin, and Radeke who suffered humiliation and assault in the hands of men should turn around and encourage Yaremi to pick a new man to replace her dead husband. Suspense: This device is used to keep readers uncertain of the outcome of an event in a story. A reader finds himself asking what will happen next? The story of Lonely Days seems unended. The reader is not told what happened after the elders rolled out punitive measures against Yaremi. Her husbands property is to be confiscated and she is to be sent into exile. The reader will want to know if these punishments were carried out and what became of Yaremi afterwards. Yaremi: She is the protagonist of the story. In her early fifties, Yaremi is beautiful and hardworking. Her real troubles begin after the death of her husband who died of typhoid fever. The relations of her late husband accuse her of killing him. They hate and ostracise her. Her two daughters are living with their husbands. Her only son is stuck in the city of Ibadan, working as a furniture carpenter. He seldom returns home to see his mother. Yaremi is only left with her grandson to keep her company and help her in her taffeta dyeing business. Yaremi is later required―according to tradition―to choose a new man to replace her dead husband. She rejects the offer to the shock and anger of the elders and the villagers. Her daughter, Segi, visits her and identifies with her. She encourages Yaremi to stand her ground, but at the end of her visit, she takes her son away to enroll him into a school thereby living Yaremi lonelier than she is. Her lost-in-the-city son pays her a fleeting visit worsening the situation by his nonchalant attitude towards his mothers predicament. On the heels of his departure, it is heard that Yaremi is to be exiled and her husbands property confiscated. Yaremi solemnly declares that her dead body will have to be what the people will send into exile because she is prepared to fight till the last drop of her blood. Ajumobi: Ajumobi is Yaremis husband before his death. He is a hardworking man. He has a strong control of his household just as it is typical of a man. He is a farmer and a hunter. Boastful, he never fails to regale Yaremi with his hunting exploits. He loves his wife and spoils her with his games; but beats her when he could no longer stand her verbal attack. His death brings untold hardship to Yaremi who never dreams she is going to join the league of widows in the community. Before his death, he had a dream of marrying a new wive which usually caused quarrel between him and his wife. After his death, he continues to appear to his wife in dreams with words of consolation and comfort. Some people even claim to have seen Ajumobi on two occasions in the village. Adebowale uses the death of Ajumobi to portray the many tribulations and injustices meted against women after the death of their husbands. Alani: Alani is the third child and only son of Yaremi. He is a furniture carpenter in the city of Ibadan, where the process of his citification takes place. He seldom visits his mother in the village because his home holds no attraction for him. So he does not stay long during his once-in-a-decade visit to the village. He represents a typical picture of someone who has lost his root and identity, needing the help of his uncle, Deyo, to conduct him round his fathers property. If not for anything, his visit worsens Yaremis already bad situation. It confirms that Yaremi is all alone in her predicament. Woye: Woye is the son of Segi and grandson of Yaremi of about eight years old. He plays the role of a comforter in the life of his grandmother, Yaremi, when there is nobody to console her. Woye, somehow, fills the vacuum created by the demise of Ajumobi, helping Yaremi in the production, transportation and marketing of taffeta cloth which is regarded as the best in the village. Woye is playful and naturally happy, enjoying the company of goats and dogs. Woye is a bit lazy, but when fired up, he can use his number game as a motivation to do the work he is expected to do. He loves to go to school; therefore, he decides to follow his mother, Segi, back to his fathers village to start schooling, when his mother visits Yaremi. Woyes departure is painful to Yaremi, but she has no choice than to allow her grandson to get education. Uncle Deyo: Uncle Deyo is the brother of Ajumobi and uncle of Segi, Wura, and Alani. Uncle Deyo is kind and considerate as he helps Yaremi with the repairs of Ajumobis thatch roof after his death. He is the one who pointed out that Alani looks weird and out of place with the ways of the people. He even chides Alani for deserting his mother, Yaremi, when she is in need of someone to take care of her. Uncle Deyos help is needed to conduct Alani round the property of his father. Dedewe, Fayoyin and Radeke: These are the three women who are insulted, assaulted, and humiliated sequel to the death of their husbands. They represent the theme of inhumanity against women in our society. After the death of Dedewes husband, she is accused of killing her husband. She is forced to confess to the sins of jealousy of the mistresses of her husband and adultery. Fayoyin is giving a libation to drink to cleanse her of all the sins she must have committed against her husband. After that, cold water is poured on her head to facilitate the clean shaving of her head. Her look is completely altered after the exercise. In the case of Radeke, she is asked to kneel before the dead body of her husband to sing the widows traditional song of innocence and lamentation. These women are made to choose new husbands after their purification rites. During Yaremis turn to pick a new husband, these women are around to encourage her to obey tradition.

- About Us - Our Expertise - Hi-Tech Vastu - Contact Us ” Vastu is nothing but living in harmony with nature. It always suggests to intake enough sunlight, proper fresh air & space required to attain life’s charm, hygiene, health, wealth and family’s harmony. It emphasizes to maintain nature’s own value and sanctity like rainwater harvesting, plantation & making environment free from pollutants & hazards.” VASTU-SHASTRA – AN INDIAN CONCEPT: Vaidic (Vedic) Vastu is a knowledge of natural vibrations that talks about a variety of natural energies, forces & factors in Indian context. Therefore it may be applied in the countries of the world located on the same latitude or around it having India-like weather, climate & other environmental factors. These are applicable to the regions & countries of only northern hemisphere & the areas which have the natural environment like India. Vastu works on a number of factors like: Hence, it shall not be justified to apply the Indian Vaidic Vastu Shastra’s doctrine on every part of the world uniformly. Using the fixed thumb-rules of Vedic Vastu in each condition is not the wisdom. It may not be applied universally on all the global properties wherein the longitudes and latitudes vary from place to place, sun rays’ sharpness is not the same as India, wind direction is different, rains intensity, direction and quantity of rainfall etc. are different, terrain and topography are not the same. At some locations like Africa the deserts are there, in New Zealand volcanic substrata is present, at some locations glaciers and snow clad mountains are present. Similarly many Vastu factors are just opposite in the southern hemisphere. How do we apply vastu norms in such locations depends upon our intellectual capabilities, analytical ability & presence of mind. But certainly we cannot advise everyone on the globe the Vastu advice derived from Indian Vedic epics & Shastras. The big question is to classify the factors and justify rationally. Even in northern, southern, eastern & western parts of India the direction of wind is not uniform even during whole year. Therefore a blanket application of routine vastu norms would be incorrect to apply unanimously. Need of Scientific Vastu: In view of the above, there arose a great need of introduction of scientific Vastu principles which can be put logically. Hence too much research work took place during last two decades & in these studies the scholars tried to decode the fundamentals of Vaidic Vastu Shastra and tried to explain the scientific reasons behind each Vastu principle. These thesis’ contain a lot of data analysis, explanations & classifications to be used as the basic fundamental by the Vastu consultants while doing a Vastu audit & giving advice. Gradually the learned research scholars succeeded to present their logical reasoning behind the doctrine of Indian Vaidic Vastu Shastra, but at the same time this intensive research & analysis cropped up the question mark on the ‘universal application of Vedic principles in all parts of the globe”. We advice on scientific Vastu for House Drawings, Vastu for Map, Vastu for Geopathic stress removal as the Best Vastu consultants in Delhi. We also provide our services as Vastu consultants in Gurgaon & the most popular Vastu consultant In Noida. This is our speciality.

Astrophysicist, educator, and humanitarian Hakeem Oluseyi is making science cool again. Besides being a well-known figure in the field, Oluseyi is a member of the team developing the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which is America’s top priority observatory. He is also using his public presence to encourage more people of color to enter STEM fields. And, he co-authored the children’s popular science book “Discovery Spaceopedia: The Complete Guide to Everything Space.” “Oluseyi, 49, is one of the most popular scientists in a field that deals with the otherworldly. From his position as a distinguished professor of physics and space sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology to hosting programs such as Discovery’s “Outrageous Acts of Science and How the Universe Works,” Oluseyi is inspiring generations — both younger and older — with his exciting approach to subject matter that can be quite complex,” the Undefeated reported. Listen to GHOGH with Jamarlin Martin | Episode 07: Tayo Oviosu Jamarlin Martin catches up with Tayo Oviosu at SXSW 2018. Oviosu is the Founder and CEO of Paga, the leading mobile payments company in Nigeria. Here are 10 other things you might not know about Oluseyi: Oluseyi attended HBCU Tougaloo College where he earned Bachelor of Science degrees in physics and mathematics. He went on to earn his MS and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Stanford University under the mentorship of the late Professor Arthur B. C. Walker Jr. “Under Walker’s tutelage, Oluseyi helped to design, build, calibrate, and launch the Multi-Spectral Solar Telescope Array, which pioneered normal incidence extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray imaging of the Sun’s transition region and corona,” Temmy Balogun reported. It was at Tougaloo he had a breakthrough about his future. “Yes. These three grad students from MIT and Harvard came to Tougaloo, where I was one of two physics students in 1986. They were all black physics students from the Cambridge area – and each of them thought they were the only one! They came to realize that kids from certain communities just have no idea that physics as a career exists. They decided they’d start the National Council of Black Physics Students, to help the most down-and-out kids in the country. So where did they go? Mississippi. They showed up on our campus,” he told TED Blog. He continued: “Because of them, I ended up meeting recruiters from Stanford University that ended up accepting me to Stanford for grad school. In all of Stanford’s history, at that time, there were only two black professors in all of the six schools of natural sciences and mathematics. One was my Ph.D. advisor, Art Walker, who was also the Ph.D. advisor of Sally Ride. Just being in his presence showed me a different model of how I could be.” Oluseyi grew up in some rough neighbors. When he was young, he never lived in the same state two years consecutively. And he toughed it out in such neighborhoods as New Orleans’ 9th Ward; Houston’s 3rd Ward; and Watts and Inglewood in California. At age 13 he and his mother settled in rural Mississippi. “As the new kid in the bad neighborhood, I was always immediately challenged upon arrival, which meant fighting,” Oluseyi told American Physical Society. “I was not interested in this, so I spent a lot of time indoors reading and watching PBS nature shows. I discovered Jacques Cousteau on TV and Albert Einstein in my reading. The effects of relativity just knocked my socks off! I did everything I could to get my head around this stuff. I thought, ‘Man! Scientists are super cool!’” During high school, Oluseyi created a computer program that did relativity calculations — and it won first prize in physics at the state science fair. And the judges encouraged Oluseyi to become a physicist. While in grad school at Stanford University, Oluseyi said he felt a little over his head. “It was extremely difficult,” he told the American Physical Society. “Whereas I had not even heard of calculus until after I graduated high school and was in the Navy, my Stanford classmates all had calculus early in their high school careers. Moreover, the totality of my entire undergraduate physics education only amounted to about three semesters of the typical Stanford undergrad’s coursework. Following graduation, Oluseyi worked at one of Silicon Valley’s most successful companies and did research on manufacturing computer chips. Through his work there, he earned eight U.S. patents and four E.U. patents. And in fact, his inventions can be found in the computer chips used every day. Oluseyi worked with the 2011 Nobel Prize winning Supernova Cosmology Project. He developed detectors for a planned space-based telescope that will be used to explore the nature of the dark energy that is speeding up the universe’s expansion. 7.Teacher, Teacher: Oluseyi is a professor at the Florida Institute of Technology. He is also a frequent contributor to the Discovery Channel and National Geographic. Through the Cosmos Education organization, Oluseyi has visited sub-Saharan African schools to inspire young students to consider STEM careers. “Engaging with a down-to-earth, successful scientist of African heritage encourages the students and lets them see that someone very similar to them can make it as a scientist,” he said. The scientist formed the African Astronomical Society and the One Telescope Project, an initiative to supply each nation in the world with at least one research-grade telescope. Oluseyi served in the U.S. Navy from 1984 to 1986. And actually, he credits the Navy with teaching him algebra. — Goldman Sachs (@GoldmanSachs) November 17, 2018 http://blog.ted.com/rise-of-a- gangsta-nerd-fellows-friday- with-hakeem-oluseyi/ https://theundefeated.com/ features/astrophysicist-and- hbcu-grad-hakeem-oluseyi-is- making-waves/ Jamarlin talks to the founder and CEO of The Shade Room, Angelica Nwandu. They discuss how she built a multi-million dollar media platform and her recent moves into films. They also discuss the academic and business success of Nigerians in America and why Facebook shut down her business multiple times while allowing Russians and Cambridge Analytica to promiscuously market anti-Black ads. Jamarlin talks to Tony Effik, SVP of Client Strategy at NBCUniversal, about where the digital media business is going. Tony talks about directing strategy across the largest multi-billion dollar media portfolio, opportunities with subscriptions, and the business of podcasting. They debate whether there is a bubble developing with podcasting and whether podcasting benefits from Google and Facebook’s advertising claws are not being in the pot yet. They also discuss Silicon Valley’s love affair with MBS and how much regulation is needed to check psychopathic corporate behavior when dealing with massive data and user scale. Jamarlin Martin catches up with Tayo Oviosu at SXSW 2018. Oviosu is the Founder and CEO of Paga, the leading mobile payments company in Nigeria. They discuss building Paga, bitcoin prospects in Nigeria, Elon Musk, Aliko Dangote, why the African economic opportunity is really Nigeria, superior Nigerian academic performance in the US, and whether Tayo would ever run for President.

Announcing their presence in singing and dancing the arena gradually filled up with members of the community who joined in, videoed or asked questions about the event, all in eagerness to hear what message they had to share. Some of the points which the piece emphasised were domestic violence and things which would generally discourage women from participating in politics. Explaining the idea behind the programme, Dennis Onoise, representing V4C, said: “Every year the sixteen days of activism is celebrated in memory of three women killed in Portugal whose rights were violated. For those of us working in the area of gender are conscious of the fact that in a society like Nigeria, surveys have shown that women’s rights are constantly violated, with the most worrisome being gender-based violence with the number reaching over 70 percent in the variety of cases.” Some justify these acts in their cultures and religions. These sorts of beliefs reinforce and encourage the practice. Onoise added that: “For us at Voices 4 Change, this is the kind of thing we want to talk about more and change and remind people that they are happening and NGOs are talking about all the time. “Many men who are the gatekeepers of most communities and households are not even being carried along. This makes it look as if women are saying ‘kill all men in the world and our problems are over’. This is a mistake which we also stress also because the women too are perpetrators of these ills,” he said. With the essential roles women play in all of this, he said, theatre was a choice of tool to pass the message on: “because as you know the world is changing and the role of community development and theatre cannot be overemphasised. It’s therefore important for community members to participate in discussing these issues. So that the conversation can start with them and continue in recognition that there has to be an end.” Such theatre he added is more impactful as against watching it on television because there is interaction going on with the audience and feedback received almost on the spot. Ordinarily not akin to violence, George Senate who played several characters in the drama including one where he vehemently disregarded the participation of women in politics, said his role in the drama further strengthened his resolve to respect and appreciate the roles women play and the fact that women and men needed to be equal partners in decision-making Depicting everyday issues many of which come up during campaigns, the drama depicted a common scenario where a borehole was to be drilled in a community and there was a tussle between the men and women on where it should be located. The women insisted it should be in the market which is more accessible as the men refused their proposal wanting it at the residence of an honourable. The fact that one man decided to listen to both suggestions and analyse them, maked all the difference as there is peaceful resolution of the matter with everyone wilfully going along with the women. The drama attempted to disabuse the norms that the woman’s placed is in the kitchen and other such beliefs. Adelola Olanrewaju who played the submissive woman, Mama Ladidi, to her husband who always was violent with her, said prior to the character, she imagined the reality of such experience a painful one. “Even playing the role, my character felt rejected and worthless. “But in that,” she said, “I learnt that we as women should not devalue and underestimate ourselves and stand our ground to stop the abuse from men and make them a part of the change process.” Abigail Kefas whose character was that of the women leader, office boss and politician said it was dehumanising for her husband to be abusive especially in the light of her accomplishments. “It’s sad that women sometimes don’t help when they encourage other women in such situations to endure because society will frown at her if she leaves her home,” she said. “Women don’t have to allow themselves to be subjected to such,” she emphasised. TFDC director, Professor Steve Abah who coordinated the project said the six artistes who performed in the drama are designated Ambassadors for Change identified from amongst students from Ahmadu Bello University based on their character and academic performances to promote them as role models for other students. “It’s about how their character is useful in relation to the issues that V4C is concerned with. It’s about using them as agents for change. “The four scenes of the drama were constructed around different situations in the life of women where they were intimidated, harassed, beaten up,” he said. Ensuring that the theme has been well-captured in the piece, he said the idea is how the drama and the performers can advocate on behalf of women. Adding that other women who support violence against women was also an issue treated in the work. On how the group intends to sustain the message preached, Professor Emmy Idegu who helped with the coordination said staging the drama was not the end. “Samaru is a community we’ve related with over the years and when we do such things our liaison officer between the department and community. We also monitor the effect of such a performance through informal and informal interactions with students as well as meetings with opinion leaders,” he said.

Prior to the establishment of the scheme, Nigeria was plagued by a devastating civil war that lasted three years. The unfortunate conflict known as the Nigerian–Biafran war, destroyed everything that held over 200 ethnic groups in the country together. The war damaged the political, economic, ethnic, religious and social connections among the major ethnic groups in Nigeria with over three million casualties recorded. After the war ended in January 1970, the government started making moves to repair the country. One of such moves gave birth to the establishment of the NYSC in 1973. Eyes Of Lagos reports gathered that, The scheme was established by decree No 24 “with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity”. As an idea born out of the need to resolve a post-war crisis, the scheme was designed to encourage and develop common ties among the youths of different ethnic groups across the country. Arguably, the scheme has successfully achieved this goal in the last 50 years by deploying fresh graduates to other parts of the country other than their state of origin or their state of birth to compulsorily serve the country for a period of one year. Within the one-year service period, the youths are expected to interact and relate with the people of their host communities to form bonds that foster the unity of the country regardless of tribe and religion. Graduates that participate in the NYSC scheme are called corps members. How NYSC works After their graduation from a university or a polytechnic, fresh graduates under the age of 30 are issued call-up letters to resume at the orientation camp in another state for their service year. While prospective corps members get their letters to resume at NYSC camps, graduates above the age of 30 get letters of exemption from participating in the scheme. At the camps, prospective corps members undergo paramilitary training supervised by men of the Nigerian Army for three weeks. Social activities, including skills acquisition training, at the camps are also designed to prepare the youths for life after graduation. After this, they will be deployed to their places of primary assignment in host communities where they will serve the country for one year. The trained corps members are mostly deployed to schools, hospitals, media houses, organisations and so on, to contribute their knowledge to the development of the country and experience other cultures. In appreciation of their service, the Federal Government pays the serving corps members a stipend of ₦33,000 monthly — widely known as ‘allawee’ among corps members. At the end of the service year, the corps members who have successfully ‘served their fatherland’ without violating the rules of the scheme are presented with a certificate, known as the NYSC discharge certificate. This document is very important for job applications in Nigeria. For those who commit one offence or the other during their service year, the NYSC management punishes them by extending their service year without allowance. Some can be completely dismissed from the service depending on the severity of their offence. The NYSC scheme is headed by a Director-General. Brig Gen YD Ahmed is the current head of the scheme.

Group exercise helps people stay motivated and find support while working out. It can come in many forms, such as aerobics classes, boot camp classes, yoga sessions, or running clubs. No matter the type of group activity you choose, it provides an opportunity for social interaction, which can help motivate people to stick with their fitness goals. The main benefit of group exercise is motivation. Sometimes, it can be difficult for some individuals to stay motivated when exercising alone, but being part of a group encourages consistency, which helps keep everyone on track with their fitness goals. Moreover, having other members around provides moral support during difficult times or challenging workouts; it’s easier to push yourself further. There’s something special about exercising together; it creates an atmosphere where everyone is working towards the same goal, and this sense of camaraderie can be very rewarding. Not only does this make physical activity more enjoyable, but it also makes it much easier for participants to stick with their routine, because they feel like they belong in the group setting rather than just going through the motions alone at home or a gym. Since many people participate together, they can provide support for one another, which helps make the workout more enjoyable and less intimidating or boring. Moreover, some classes may also offer specialized instruction from an instructor who knows how to help participants get the most out of their workouts with proper form and technique advice throughout class time; this means better results for all involved. How Effective Is Group Exercise? Group exercise can provide motivation, support, and camaraderie. But how effective is a group exercise in helping people reach their fitness goals? One of the biggest benefits of group exercise is that it provides an extra layer of consistency for those involved. When you’re working out with others who have similar goals to yours, you are more likely to stick with your routine because other people are relying on you for support. This can be especially helpful if someone has trouble staying motivated or needs help pushing themselves during workouts. Also, having a supportive environment encourages individuals to work harder than they would on their own since everyone around them will also be putting more effort into reaching their health objectives. 2. Perform Different Activities Another advantage of exercising in groups is that there’s often greater variety when compared with solo workouts. This means participants get exposed to different types of exercises, and instructors lead participants through routines designed specifically towards achieving certain physical benefits. Mental Benefits Of Group Exercise Participating in group activities such as yoga, running clubs, or team sports can help reduce stress and anxiety, increase self-esteem, and provide a sense of social connection. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are hormones that make us feel good. When we work out with others, it increases the amount of endorphins released into our bodies, creating an even greater feeling of happiness and satisfaction than if we were exercising alone. This is why people often refer to the “runner’s high” when they have gone for a run or completed some other form of physical activity with friends or family members. The increased feelings of joy from working out together create stronger bonds between participants, which leads to improved mental health through enhanced relationships with those around them as well as improved self-confidence due to their accomplishments in these activities. In addition, engaging in physical activity helps reduce negative thoughts by providing a distraction from everyday worries and allowing participants to take part without any judgment, making it easier for people who might otherwise find exercising alone a daunting task due to its perceived difficulty level. All these reasons contribute towards improving overall well-being both mentally and physically, leading to healthier lifestyle choices. Types Of Group Exercise There are many different types of group exercises available, each with its benefits. Here are three of the most popular: Aerobics classes are one type of group exercise. This form of exercise typically involves high-intensity movements such as jumping jacks, running, or dancing for extended periods at a time to get your heart rate up and burn calories quickly. Aerobics classes often focus on improving cardiovascular health as well as coordination and balance skills through music-based routines that make the workout fun and engaging for participants. 2. Strength Training Strength training is another type of group exercise that focuses on building muscle strength by using weights or resistance bands during specific exercises like squats or pushups over multiple sets. Strength training helps build lean muscle mass, which boosts metabolism, thus helping individuals lose weight more effectively than other forms alone would, so it’s very effective when combined with aerobic activities like walking, swimming, etc. Yoga classes offer a unique combination of physical activity along with mental relaxation techniques such as breath work, meditation, and mindfulness practices. Yoga provides physical benefits including increased flexibility, improved posture, and balance development, it also offers emotional and mental rewards due to its calming effects, which makes it ideal for those looking for stress relief. Classes range from beginner-level poses up to challenging advanced postures depending on what students want out of their practice session, making yoga suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Group exercise offers both physical and mental benefits. The power of group exercise lies in its ability to motivate individuals as well as emotional support when needed most, whether it’s encouragement during tough moments or friendly competition between members pushing each other towards greater success. Whether one wants to become healthier overall, build muscle tone, or increase endurance, participating regularly in workout activities allows a person to do so much more effectively than going solo, making sure never to lose sight of achieving the goals outlined in the beginning process. With the right attitude and mindset, anyone can take advantage of these opportunities and reap the rewards that come with joining a larger community, working together to better themselves and others around them at the same time.

Our lives now revolve around custom web application development services, which have a profound impact on how we interact, collaborate, and conduct business. The following are some main justifications for why web application development is so crucial: 1 - Improved User Experience By using smartphone features like GPS, sophisticated content, and push notifications, web applications offer a smooth and customised user experience. They enable companies to provide customised services and content, which raises customer happiness and user engagement. 2 - Convenience and Accessibility By offering users unmatched accessibility, web application development enables people to access services and information at any time and from any location. Web app developers become a bridge in the gap between companies and customers as mobile devices are increasing in popularity. They offer a handy platform for communication, entertainment, and commerce. 3 - Competitive Advantage Having a website may offer firms a clear advantage in the cutthroat industry of today. It not only increases brand awareness but also encourages client retention and loyalty. Businesses may set themselves apart from the competition by providing distinctive features and usefulness. What is the Process of We Application Development? A successful application requires completing several steps in the web application development services process. Below is a summary of the normal procedure for developing a web application: 1 - Ideation and Planning This phase includes identifying the objectives and target market as well as conceptualising the company idea. Finding possibilities and possible obstacles is aided by performing competitor and market research. 2 - Design and User Experience The user-centric design of web applications makes them greatly successful. Different processes make it possible to offer a smooth and aesthetically pleasing user experience. These include wireframing, prototyping, and the creation of intuitive interfaces. 3 - Development This stage involves the selection of the right platform and programming language to code the web application. The needs of the software determine which development approach—native, hybrid, or cross-platform—to choose. 4 - Testing and Quality Assurance To find and address errors, malfunctions, and performance problems, extensive testing is carried out. Functional testing, usability testing, and cross-device and cross-OS compatibility testing are all included in this. 5 - Deployment and Launch After the application has undergone extensive testing, it is made available online. 6 - Updating and Maintenance After launch, frequent updates and maintenance are necessary to include new features, handle customer comments, and correct errors. The software operates at its best and stays current thanks to this iterative approach. Factors to Consider While Doing Web App Development Before starting to design a mobile app, there are a few things to think about carefully: 1 - Target Audience You must understand the requirements, interests and demographics of your target audience to create an app that appeals to them. Developing user personas and carrying out user research might yield insightful results. 2 - Platform Selection Depending on your target audience, available funds, and required functionality, you should select the best platform or platforms for your Web application, such as Google Chrome, Bing, or both. Every platform has unique concerns and requirements for development. 3 - User Interface and Experience Keep two things in mind when designing a use interface (UI): it should be both aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. Some things must be given priority to offer easy navigation. These include a clear information architecture, and effective job completion, user experience (UX). 4 - Security and Privacy It is important to include strong security measures in your web application. This is because data privacy concerns and security breaches are on the rise. There are some factors to develop user trust, including the use of encryption, secure authentication, and compliance with privacy laws. 5 - Performance and Optimisation Users anticipate quick loading times and seamless operation from online apps. A smooth user experience depends on optimising pictures and resources, reducing the size of the application, and optimising the code. 6 - Monetization Plan Ascertain your Web app's revenue-generating plan in advance, including the use of in-app purchases, advertisements, subscriptions, or a mix of these. Give careful thought to how your chosen approach will affect the user experience and long-term viability of the app. 7 - Analytics and User Input Combining analytics software with user input allows for insightful analysis of user behaviour, web app performance, and areas for development. Make use of this information to keep improving your app. Developing Mobile Apps: Upcoming Trends Appligators.io imagines a day where innovation, user-centred design, and technical progress will drive the creation of mobile apps. - Hyper-Personalization: User experience will help AI and data analytics to offer more individualised app experiences. - Wearable Technology Integration: The seamless integration of mobile apps with wearable technology will help improve health monitoring, productivity, and entertainment. - Edge Computing: By processing data closer to the source, edge computing will minimise latency and allow for real-time app interactions. - Platforms for Multi-Experience Development: Appligators.io foresees platforms that let developers build applications for a range of interfaces, such as wearables, online, AR/VR, and mobile. - Ethical AI: As the use of AI increases, developing ethical AI will guarantee impartial and responsible app interactions. - Improved Security Measures: As data breaches increase, security will be a primary concern, and biometric authentication will be used more often. - Development of Sustainable Apps: Appligators.io aims to produce environmentally friendly apps by emphasising energy efficiency and lowering the carbon footprint of the app. - Integration of the Physical and Digital Worlds: Apps will be able to engage with the actual world in creative ways as the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds become more hazy.

In a world with an abundance of technology, students are becoming more knowledgeable and learning to be high performers through their studies. If anything, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is one of the technologies disruptions. AI is like when you have got this amazing smart friend who assists you with the best CIPD assignment writing help in UK. All in all, what a fantastic opportunity to delve into the ways AI makes a significant change in students’ academic performance! Behavioral AI-driven educational systems would identify the strengths and weaknesses, of every single student. They can personalize learning resources and tasks depending on a person’s needs. In short, students can have a customized learning experience in which they learn content at their preferred pace thus making it easier to comprehend concepts, ideas, and terms which may seem very difficult at this moment. 24/7 Learning Support The AI times over with the students getting notified at any time and in any place, it may be midnight, or it could be a hectic day when AI tutors have the privilege to be there with you 24/7. This availability helps the students to follow that they can have help whenever they need it, contributing to the mastering and rise of the grades. Human learners who interact with AI in learning develop the capacity to self-assess their performance. AI can immediately provide feedback on quizzes, tests, and assignments. Moreover, with this real-time feedback students can readily identify the errors they have made and pinpoint those areas that could use a little more practice. Since now they will be able to see them immediately, they would be in the position to build on their weaknesses right away and not repeat the same mistakes wandering the same streets as before. AI algorithms do adapt to students and their progress. The next-generation AI system devises questions and tasks, which are appropriate for the individual student’s progress. Therefore, the system varied the level of complexity of the tasks and questions depending on the student’s progress. Hence not creating an overwhelming effect but keeping the students challenged without appearing too hard, they will most likely be successful academically. Enhanced Study Tools AI-equipped study software can summarize textbooks, articles, as well as lectures, therefore, this helps students to understand complex information faster because they do not have to read everything. Such tools can also be designed to exhibit respondent behavior, or through spaced repetition, which is based on the notion that students learn best when they periodically review and recall the material. Time Management Assistance AI can support students in finding the right time-management approach. Through an analysis of students’ study patterns and course scheduling AI algorithms propose the most suitable individual study plans for each student. They thereby guarantee that students use time resources appropriately and prevent from extending deadlines thus improving productivity. Language Learning Support AI powered language learning apps can offer tailored lessons that are appropriate for students depending on the level of their language and goal of learning. These programs harness speech recognition as a tool for guiding students through building their pronunciation and conversational skills. Moreover, the exciting part about language learning is the fact that as a student you are possessed by the zeal to continue your learning as you taste its effectiveness. AI technology provides a platform for special needs students and enhances their learning experience. For instance, artificial intelligence facilitated audio-to-text and text-to-audio enable visually impaired and deaf students to take part in class and finish assignments. This represents the daily lives of individuals who taught us so much. They reminded us of what was going on in the world around us and showed us the complexity of the events that we witnessed through their eyes. AI algorithms can identify plagiarism issues in students’ work because of similarity checking against a huge catalog of main resources and past papers. It calls on the academic community to administer education responsibility and honesty while students get the credit they deserve for their work. AI itself can run such multiple analyses as the history of the child’s academic life and behavior to forecast future academic performance. Educators will pinpoint students at an early stage that are struggling numerically and afterward, will offer the students with extra assistance to keep them on track with their academics and give them a higher chance of succeeding. In sum, AI is now transforming education by diversifying teaching styles, paying attention to making no distinction between day and night, and providing instant feedback and personalized learning tools. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is an inseparable part of the new educational process that gives students a chance to learn faster, break the barriers that usually hinder learning, and achieve educational success that was not possible before.

Non-stick chemicals common in fast food packaging Burgers, fries, tacos and pastries come wrapped in grease-proof paper and boxes that often contain non-stick chemicals that may be able to leach into food, US researchers said Wednesday. The study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Letters tested more than 400 samples from 27 fast food chains in the United States. Almost half of paper wrappers and 20 percent of paperboard samples — such as boxes for fries and pizza — contained fluorine, a marker for highly fluorinated chemicals used in stain-resistant carpets, non-stick cookware and waterproof outdoor apparel. “Wrappers for Tex-Mex food, desserts and breads were the most likely to contain fluorine,” said the report. The study did not show any specific harm to human health from exposure to these chemicals — known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) — in food wrappers. But researchers warned that exposure to some PFASs has been associated with cancer, thyroid disease, immune suppression, low birth weight, and decreased fertility according to prior studies. “These chemicals have been linked with numerous health problems, so it’s concerning that people are potentially exposed to them in food,” said lead author Laurel Schaider, an environmental chemist at the Silent Spring Institute. “Children are especially at risk for health effects because their developing bodies are more vulnerable to toxic chemicals.” Six of the samples contained a long-chain PFAS called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, even though several major US manufacturers agreed to stopping using C8 compounds in food packaging due to health hazards, after a 2011 US Food and Drug Administration review. Researchers also detected some shorter-chain PFAS compounds, which have been increasingly used as replacements for the longer chain PFASs. “The replacement compounds are equally persistent and have not been shown to be safe for human health,” said co-author Arlene Blum, founder of the Green Science Policy Institute. “That’s why we need to reduce the use of the entire class of highly fluorinated compounds. The good news is there are non-fluorinated alternatives available.” About one in three American kids eat fast food every day. The United States began phasing out certain PFASs in 2000, but other countries still produce them, and they tend to linger in the environment for long periods after being discarded in landfills. Prior studies have shown that substances in food packaging can migrate into food. Get the latest news delivered straight to your inbox every day of the week.

Bob Marley, a towering figure in the world of music, remains unmatched in his embodiment of reggae. While not its sole creator, Marley’s pivotal role in shaping the genre from its roots in Kingston to global prominence is unparalleled. Born on February 6, 1945, Marley’s legacy transcends his tragically short life of 36 years. His 1984 compilation album, “Legend,” continues to sell over a quarter-million copies annually, with each track serving as a testament to his enduring influence. From timeless classics like “Buffalo Soldier” to the anthemic “One Love,” Marley’s music resonates across generations, solidifying his status as a cultural icon. Bob Marley Early Life Marley’s upbringing was marked by a unique family dynamic. Born to Cedella Booker, a Jamaican native, and Norval Marley, a British supervisor, Marley’s heritage was as diverse as his music. Despite his father’s absence, Marley’s indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication propelled him from the streets of Kingston to global acclaim. Raised in poverty in Nine Miles, Jamaica, Marley’s early years were characterized by resilience and determination. His migration to Kingston marked the beginning of a transformative journey that would redefine the cultural landscape. In Trenchtown, Marley honed his craft as a street fighter, earning the moniker “Tuff Gong” for his strength and fortitude. This resilience would later define his musical career, culminating in the founding of the iconic record label that would spread reggae to audiences worldwide. Marley’s proficiency in street fighting earned him a moniker that resonated throughout his lifetime: “Tuff Gong.” This nickname later became the namesake of the record label he established, a pivotal entity in popularizing reggae music globally. A poignant reflection of this period in Marley’s life can be found in his iconic 1974 track “No Woman, No Cry,” where he reminisces, “I remember when we used to sit / In the government yard in Trenchtown / Observing the hypocrites / Mingle with the good people we meet.” A Fateful Incident: How a Welding Accident Shaped Bob Marley’s Musical Journey In the early ’60s, amidst the vibrant music scene of Kingston, Bob Marley was already exploring his musical talents alongside his childhood friend Neville Livingston. However, Marley’s mother, Cedella, aware of the uncertainty of a music career, sought to provide him with a backup plan. At the age of 14, she arranged for Marley to apprentice as a welder, despite his lack of enthusiasm for the trade. However, fate intervened in Marley’s path. During one fateful day in the workshop, a piece of scalding hot metal flew into Marley’s eye, abruptly ending his apprenticeship and leaving him in excruciating pain. This incident marked the turning point in Marley’s life, prompting him to fully commit himself to his true passion: music. Yet, from this unfortunate accident emerged an unexpected silver lining. Marley’s time as a welder’s apprentice forged a friendship with fellow welder Peter Tosh, who shared Marley’s musical aspirations. Together with Livingston, they formed the nucleus of what would become The Wailers. However, before they were ready to conquer the music world, they required further refinement and guidance. Thus, Marley’s journey from apprentice welder to musical legend was not only defined by his resilience and determination but also by the chance encounters and friendships that shaped his path. The welding accident may have altered Marley’s trajectory, but it ultimately set him on the course to fulfill his destiny as one of the most influential musicians of all time. ALSO READ: Martin Luther King Jr Bob Marley’s Mentor: The Influence of Joe Higgs on Reggae During the vibrant musical era of Kingston in the early ’60s, one towering figure stood out amidst the bustling scene: Joe Higgs, often hailed as the godfather of reggae. Teaming up with fellow Trenchtown resident Delroy Wilson, Higgs showcased a distinctive singing style coupled with a passion for nurturing budding talents within Kingston’s music community. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Higgs generously shared his expertise with aspiring musicians who sought guidance in the intricacies of singing and songwriting. Among his notable protégés were the legendary trio of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, who would go on to reshape the landscape of reggae music. Higgs, renowned for his protest songs, imparted invaluable wisdom to his mentees, covering essential aspects such as breath control, guitar composition, and the art of crafting meaningful lyrics. Despite his pivotal role in their development, Higgs remained humble, preferring to stay out of the limelight even as Marley and The Wailers soared to fame. Although Higgs maintained a low profile, his influence reverberated through the music of Marley and his contemporaries. In a testament to his impact, Higgs co-wrote “Stepping Razor,” a solo hit for Tosh, and joined The Wailers on a U.S. tour in the early ’70s. While Higgs may have passed away in 1999, his legacy endures, forever intertwined with the rich tapestry of Jamaican music history, alongside the indomitable spirit of Bob Marley. Bob Marley’s Betrayal: Exploited by his First Producer In the early ’60s, Leslie Kong, a Chinese-Jamaican entrepreneur, stumbled into the role of a record producer when a young aspiring singer named Jimmy Cliff crossed paths with him in Kingston. Impressed by Cliff’s talent, Kong swiftly formed a partnership with him, launching Cliff’s successful recording career under Kong’s label, Beverley’s. As Cliff thrived with hits like “Hurricane Hattie” and “Miss Jamaica,” he also introduced Kong to another rising star: Bob Marley. Under Kong’s wing, Marley made his initial recordings, but his collaboration with the businessman was tainted by exploitation. Kong shamelessly underpaid Marley, offering a mere $20 for his contributions, a fraction of what Marley deserved. Despite the unfair treatment, Marley and The Wailers continued to work with Kong, a testament to the prevalent shady business practices in Jamaica at the time. However, Kong’s greed and disregard for ethics would ultimately lead to his downfall. In 1970, without consulting The Wailers, Kong announced plans to release a compilation album titled “Best of the Wailers.” This decision incurred the wrath of Bunny Wailer, who, according to folklore, placed a curse on Kong. Tragically, just a year after the album’s release, Kong succumbed to a heart attack at the young age of 37, potentially fulfilling the ominous prophecy. Marley’s early encounters with Leslie Kong serve as a poignant reminder of the exploitation often faced by artists in the music industry, yet his resilience and talent transcended such adversities, propelling him to become an icon of reggae music and a symbol of justice and equality worldwide. Bob Marley’s Musical Legacy Begins: A Message to His Mother Bob Marley and the Wailers embarked on a journey marked by musical excellence and social commentary, guided by none other than Clement “Sir Coxsone” Dodd, the esteemed producer behind Studio One. Under Dodd’s mentorship, the Wailers honed their craft and churned out numerous chart-topping hits, firmly establishing themselves in Jamaica’s music scene. Their inaugural success came in the form of “Simmer Down,” a plea for peace directed at the notorious “rude boys” of Kingston. Marley’s lyrics urged restraint and non-violence, resonating with audiences beyond just the music. Interestingly, the song held a personal significance for Marley—it served as a reassurance to his mother, Cedella, who harbored concerns about her son’s association with Trenchtown’s rough crowd. “Simmer Down” was Marley’s humorous yet heartfelt way of affirming his divergence from the street toughs his mother feared. Bob Marley’s Unexpected Connection to Delaware Following the death of Marley’s father, Cedella remarried and relocated to Delaware, potentially around 1966. Marley, accompanied by his wife Rita, briefly resided in Delaware, where their presence remained relatively unknown to their neighbors. It was through chance encounters, such as Rita’s visit to Ibis and Genny Pitts’ gift shop, that their connection to Marley was unveiled. Ibis Pitts, a drummer, struck up a friendship with Marley, bonding over their shared love for music. Pitts was captivated by a Wailers record gifted by Rita and even journeyed with Marley to Jamaica, where he witnessed the fervent adoration of fans and fellow musicians alike. Inspired by Marley’s enduring influence, the Pitts family organized the People’s Festival for Peace in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1984, as a tribute to the legendary musician—a tradition that continues to honor Marley’s legacy to this day. Bob Marley’s Spiritual Journey: Embracing Rastafarianism Bob Marley’s path to embracing Rastafarianism took shape during a significant moment in Jamaican history: Grounation Day on April 21, 1966, marked by the visit of Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia, to the island. This event stirred widespread excitement, particularly among the Rastafari community, who revered Selassie as the literal incarnation of God. Rastafarianism, a belief system originating in Jamaica, centers on the eventual repatriation of Africans to Africa, envisioned as a return to Zion, or a holy land, with Selassie representing divine authority. Marley, then residing in Delaware, found himself drawn to the spiritual fervor surrounding Selassie’s visit. The encounter prompted Marley to delve deeper into Rastafarianism, ultimately leading to his conversion and adoption of the distinctive dreadlocks synonymous with the faith. Despite being in his early twenties at the time, Marley’s newfound spirituality profoundly influenced his life trajectory and, notably, his musical expression upon his return to Jamaica to reunite the Wailers in the late ’60s. The Alleged Exploitation of the Wailers by Lee “Scratch” Perry The partnership between Bob Marley and the Wailers and producer Lee “Scratch” Perry is heralded for its pivotal role in shaping reggae music. Perry’s production of the album “Soul Rebels” marked a milestone for the band, introducing their signature sound to a global audience. However, despite the album’s success, allegations of financial exploitation cast a shadow over their collaboration. Bunny Wailer, a founding member of the Wailers, openly accused Perry of withholding royalties owed to the band, alleging that Perry profited unjustly from their work. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Wailer expressed his resentment, claiming they never received proper compensation for their contributions to the albums produced under Perry’s guidance. Marley and the Wailers echoed these sentiments through their music, with the lyrics of the 1973 song “Trenchtown Rock” serving as a veiled critique of Perry’s actions. Despite Perry’s denial of any wrongdoing, the allegations underscore the complex dynamics of artistic collaboration and financial exploitation within the music industry. Johnny Nash Collaboration: A Missed Opportunity for Bob Marley Bob Marley encountered another potential breakthrough in his career when he was approached by American manager Danny Sims and soul singer Johnny Nash at a party in Kingston. Recognizing Marley’s talent, they proposed a collaboration: Marley and the Wailers would assist Nash in London with songwriting, and in return, they would open shows for Nash and potentially secure a contract with his label, CBS Records. While Nash benefited from the partnership, recording Marley’s compositions like “Stir It Up” and achieving success with the reggae-infused hit “I Can See Clearly Now,” Marley grew disillusioned with the arrangement. His dissatisfaction stemmed from Nash’s lack of understanding of reggae and Rastafarian culture, leading Marley to feel disconnected from the project. Furthermore, CBS Records’ decision to push the band to record “Reggae on Broadway,” a song that diverged from their authentic sound, soured the relationship, prompting Marley and the Wailers to terminate the agreement. Island Records: Bob Marley’s Gateway to Global Fame Following their disappointing experience with Johnny Nash, fate intervened for Bob Marley and the Wailers in an unexpected encounter with Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. Despite financial struggles and their need to return to Jamaica, the group’s meeting with Blackwell marked a turning point in their career trajectory. Impressed by their presence and convinced of their potential, Blackwell offered the band an opportunity to record an album with Island Records, recognizing their ability to appeal to a broader audience beyond Jamaica. Without a formal contract, Blackwell provided the band with the resources to produce their breakthrough album, “Catch a Fire.” This pivotal moment launched Bob Marley and the Wailers into the global spotlight, solidifying their status as reggae legends and paving the way for their enduring legacy in music history. Bob Marley’s Brush with Death Amidst Political Turmoil In the turbulent political landscape of 1970s Jamaica, Bob Marley’s journey extended beyond music into the realm of activism, particularly in his efforts to bridge the divide between Jamaica’s opposing political factions. Amidst escalating tensions between the liberal People’s National Party (PNP) and the conservative Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Marley aimed to foster unity through a free concert titled “Smile Jamaica” on December 5, 1976. However, just two days before the event, tragedy struck. While rehearsing at Marley’s Kingston residence, the band fell victim to a violent attack, with bullets piercing their home. Marley sustained a gunshot wound to his arm, while Rita Marley narrowly escaped injury. Undeterred by the attempt on his life, Marley courageously took to the stage for the concert, the bullet still lodged in his arm, embodying his unwavering commitment to his cause. Despite the harrowing ordeal, Marley’s dedication to peace remained steadfast. Two years later, he orchestrated the historic One Love Peace Concert, where he brought together the warring political leaders Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, urging them to reconcile publicly. Marley’s pivotal role in fostering unity earned him global recognition, culminating in the United Nations awarding him the Medal of Peace. Kurtis Blow’s Encounter with Reggae Royalty During Bob Marley and the Wailers’ triumphant final tour of the United States, a young Kurtis Blow, an emerging rapper, found himself in awe of the reggae icon. Sharing the stage with Marley at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Blow was humbled by the opportunity to witness Marley’s legendary performance firsthand. Recalling the encounter on Ice-T’s Final Level podcast, Blow reminisced about the promoter’s decision to include Marley on the bill, which resulted in rapid sell-out shows. Backstage, Blow was taken aback when Marley approached him, expressing appreciation for his music. Marley’s gesture left a lasting impression on Blow, underscoring the profound impact of encountering a revered figure in the music industry. Bob Marley’s Tragic Battle with Cancer and Religious Convictions Bob Marley’s deep-rooted commitment to the Rastafarian faith not only defined his music but also influenced critical decisions regarding his health, ultimately leading to his untimely demise. When a cancerous lesion initially appeared beneath his toenail in the late 1970s, Marley dismissed it as a mere sports injury, typical for an avid football player. However, as the condition worsened and was diagnosed as melanoma, medical experts recommended amputation of the affected toe, a suggestion Marley refused due to religious beliefs against dismemberment. Although Marley consented to a skin graft, the cancer metastasized, spreading throughout his body. Despite urgent medical intervention being imperative, Marley opted for alternative treatments centered around dietary changes, administered by a German physician. After an unsuccessful eight-month battle, Marley’s health deteriorated rapidly during a flight home to Jamaica, necessitating emergency hospitalization in Miami, where he passed away on May 11, 1981. The Ethiopian Connection: Marley’s Spiritual Journey In 1978, Bob Marley embarked on a transformative journey to Ethiopia, retracing the footsteps of Emperor Haile Selassie, whose visit to Jamaica had profoundly impacted Marley’s spiritual beliefs. During his stay in Shashamane, a Rastafarian settlement endorsed by Selassie, Marley engaged in cultural exchanges, including performances for Ethiopia’s royalty, visits to sacred sites, and creative endeavors that inspired his music. Decades later, Marley’s reverence for Ethiopia was reciprocated with the unveiling of a statue in Addis Ababa, honoring his enduring legacy. However, controversies arose when Rita Marley expressed intentions to rebury her husband in Ethiopia, citing his profound connection to Africa. This proposal sparked debate in Jamaica, where Marley is celebrated as a national icon, with some contesting his desired resting place. Despite the discourse, Marley’s remains remain interred in Jamaica, his spiritual homeland and the birthplace of Rastafarianism. THE LEGACY LIVES ON: THE BOB MARLEY FOUNDATION’S CONTINUING IMPACT Though Bob Marley’s physical presence may have departed over four decades ago, his enduring legacy flourishes through more than just his musical compositions. Established in 1986 by Rita Marley, the Bob Marley Foundation stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration, dedicated to perpetuating the spiritual, cultural, social, and musical ideals that guided Marley throughout his lifetime. With a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Jamaicans, the Foundation has embarked on remarkable initiatives over the years. It has facilitated access to higher education by awarding numerous university scholarships, while also supporting primary schools nationwide by providing essential resources like books, school supplies, and crucially, tablets for remote learning during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Foundation’s impact extends to healthcare, as it has equipped hospitals and clinics with modern medical equipment and established a fund to provide residential care for the elderly. In the realm of sports, it proudly sponsors the Jamaica National Women’s Football Team, fostering athletic talent and promoting gender equality. Culturally, the Foundation is instrumental in supporting artistic endeavors, including film festivals, art exhibitions, and music workshops, preserving Jamaica’s rich cultural heritage. Additionally, it has established the One Love Youth Camp, offering a nurturing environment for at-risk youth, steering them away from perilous paths and towards the transformative power of music and art. At the heart of the Foundation’s mission lies a poignant reminder from Bob Marley himself: “My life is not important to me,” he emphasized, “but other people’s lives are. My life is only important if I can help plenty of people.” Guided by this ethos, the Bob Marley Foundation continues to embody the essence of its visionary namesake, uplifting communities and spreading love and positivity worldwide.

What is a burner phone? A burner phone, or burner, is an inexpensive mobile phone designed for temporary, sometimes anonymous, use, after which it may be discarded. Burners are purchased with prepaid minutes and without a formal contract with a communications provider. While some users may buy burner phones for cash to avoid the financial commitment of a contract, some others use their phones for illicit purposes, such as criminal conspiracies and fraud. Even though, by definition, burner phones can be thrown away, most typical consumers keep them and eventually buy more minutes for continued use. Only people with extreme needs for privacy or a desire to evade law enforcement are likely to use burners as a disposable device, sometimes after only a single call. Reasons someone might use a burner phone In many instances, people turn to a burner phone because they don't want to use their primary cell phone numbers, which are increasingly being used as a unique identifier. Phone numbers aren't subject to privacy requirements in the same way as Social Security and credit card numbers, so phone numbers can be shared fairly readily. As a result, mobile number privacy is a growing security issue. So, use of a burner phone is one defense against loss of private data. Other reasons for using a burner phone can vary from wanting to keep business and personal calls separate to avoiding telemarketers and former spouses. Burner phones can also be useful when traveling because users can avoid huge international roaming charges by using a local SIM card. How to get a burner phone Burner phones commonly are available for purchase at convenience stores, big box retailers and online. Users also can download a free burner app to give their existing smartphones the privacy capabilities of a physical burner phone. Burner phone vs. smartphone A burner phone is essentially a feature phone that has been stripped down to the bare essentials, which may mean capabilities such as internet access, apps and camera. It typically is used for only voice calls and texts. A smartphone is a full-fledged mobile device that offers all the bells and whistles, including an internet connection, apps and more. Alternatives for securing a smartphone If security is a priority but a customer doesn't want to purchase a burner phone, there are other options available. One simple method of increasing mobile security is the use of a burner phone app or service (rather than an actual device), which provides a temporary phone number that can be utilized instead of the user's actual cell number. This number can be used for making and receiving calls and texts, as well as for creating a temporary voicemail. Once the user is finished with the service, the number is discarded and cannot be used again. Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security that requires not only a password but also a code that is sent to the user's phone to log in. This makes it more difficult for someone to hack into an account. Remote wiping is a feature that allows a customer to remotely erase all the data on their phone if it is lost or stolen. This can help to protect the customer's sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. Learn about disposable phone numbers and check out the ultimate guide to mobile device security in the workplace.

Bulletproof vests are a vital piece of equipment for police officers, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of body armor to uncover the truth behind its effectiveness. We explore the science of bullet-resistant materials, debunk the myth of absolute protection, and reveal why it’s crucial to wear your vest at all times. From understanding how different calibers can penetrate armor to learning proper care and maintenance, this comprehensive guide aims to empower officers with the knowledge they need to stay safe in the line of duty. Why Are Bulletproof Vests Actually Not Bulletproof? The term “bulletproof vests” is actually a misnomer. The vests are bullet resistant, not bulletproof. The reality is that bullet resistant vests don’t protect the wearer from every threat. Nothing is bulletproof, not even a manhole cover. In an extremely minute percentage of cases, a bullet can get through a vest that’s been rated to stop them. The bullet could have a serrated edge or something similar to it. Bulletproof vests do not make the wearer become Superman. Body armor is meant to absorb impact of the projectile. Depending on the vest’s rating it may have stronger absorption than other vests. This does not make it bulletproof. Most manufacturers avoid the term when naming vests, even when the vest is up to the highest standard. How Does Bulletproof Fabric Stop Bullets? Body armor is comprised of very strong non-woven and/or woven ballistic fibers. The ballistic material will stop a bullet similar to how a net will stop a tennis ball or volleyball. It causes the bullet to turn, slow it down and send its energy through the whole panel. The bullet mushrooms, which helps in the process. Keep in mind that the slower the bullet is, the better off the wearer is going to be. Bullets that have a hard tip or fired at a high velocity will get through the fibers and right through the bullet proof vest. What Are the Main Differences Between Soft Ballistics and Hard Ballistics? Soft ballistics are typically made from high-strength, elastic textiles like para-aramid and high-performance polyethylene. They offer protection against handgun bullets and can provide additional protection against stabbing and impacts. Hard ballistics, on the other hand, consist of rigid panels made from materials like ceramics, steel, or high-density plastics. They are designed to stop high-velocity rifle rounds and can be used in combination with soft ballistics for enhanced protection. How Are Covert Vests Designed to Maintain Discretion? Covert vests are designed to be worn under clothing, making them invisible to others and maintaining the wearer’s discretion. They are typically thin and lightweight, which provides greater flexibility, mobility, and comfort. These vests are often made from moisture-absorbing materials for better breathability and usually protect against smaller-caliber firearms and stab attacks. Bulletproof Backpacks also exist and they are created to provide similar levels of protection as bulletproof vests by using a bulletproof insert placed within the backpack in an unnoticeable and comfortable manner. Can Bulletproof Vests Stop Rounds From Shotguns? The shells of a shotgun are very dangerous to bulletproof vests wearers because ballistic vests are not rated for these kinds of rounds. The reason? Shotgun shells and rifle slugs do not have a consistent velocity. We can state however that a NIJ level IIIA bulletproof vest can stop certain shotgun loads. The movie below shows a 12 GA 1.25oz Slug that was successfully stopped by the ballistic panel. What Is A Bulletproof Vests’ Lifespan? The majority of the certified body armor by the National Institute of Justice has a five-year service rating. When a vest is worn each day, it loses the protective capability quicker than one that sits on a shelf. It doesn’t matter how short or long the body armor is worn, the vest should be carefully looked over for any signs of damage – creases, tears, smells and burns. If properly taken care of, the vest should last five years. Be sure to follow the care instructions. Read more about the lifespan of a bullet proof vest here. What Upgrades Are Available to Enhance the Protection of Ballistic Vests? Ballistic vests can be upgraded with several accessories to enhance their protection level. Upgrades include replacement covers, carrying bags, additional ballistic panels, stab-and-impact protection inserts, and shock absorbers. These upgrades can raise the vest’s protection class and offer added safety features like protection for the neck, shoulders, upper arms, thighs, and groin. Should You Send In Your Body Armor Warranty Card? Make sure that your team fills out the warranty card to register the vest. If they don’t, be sure that you do. The reason for sending in your warranty card is that during a recall, many companies will have a difficult time getting in touch with their customers because they failed to send the warranty cards back. How Many Body Armor Carriers Should You Have? It’s important to have a minimum of two carriers – one to wash, another to wear. Keep it clean and dry to ensure the ballistic panels will lasts for the entire five to ten years. What Features Make Overt Vests Suitable for High-Risk Situations? Overt vests are designed for visibility and high-risk situations, often worn over uniforms or duty gear. They typically feature a waistcoat-style design with front zippers for easy access. These vests can be equipped with attachments for police equipment, such as radio pouches and MOLLE/PALS systems. Military and special forces’ overt vests have larger protective surfaces, non-openable fronts, and flame-retardant materials to provide maximum protection against various weapons. What Should Users Consider When Choosing a Ballistic Vest for Comfort? When choosing a ballistic vest, users should consider the weight, cut, and freedom of movement the vest allows. A vest that is too heavy or poorly designed can cause discomfort and strain during prolonged wear. Therefore, it is essential to find a balance between adequate protection and comfort. The vest should fit well, offer enough mobility for the user’s duties, and be made from materials that enhance comfort, such as breathable fabrics. How to Clean Your Ballistic Panels and Bulletproof Vest? When you need to clean the vest’s ballistic panels, use a damp sponge and a mild soap. If you want, you can also use Febreeze on them. Never, toss them into the washer and/or dryer. Never iron them either, as irons will cause the fiber to burn or melt. For the bulletproof vest you could just use a clean cloth and some soap and water to clean it, after which you should wipe away the excess moisture and hang it to dry. Put Your Bulletproof Vests Up In A Closet Don’t forget that ballistic panels comprise of several layers of bullet resistant fibers. If they become bent or are out of shape, you cannot straighten them out or iron them out. So, if you lay your sweat vest on the floor in a crumpled mess, it’ll dry like that. Can You Get Your Bullet Proof Vest Wet? The worst idea you can do is go swimming with your body armor on. The reason is that some bulletproof vests lose their ballistic performance because the water acts as a lubricant. When this happens, it makes it susceptible to bullet penetration. Keep in mind though… there are some manufacturers that have treated their vests with water resistant materials, which then allows them to be used in water. But in general, you should avoid getting your vest wet. View Your Vest As Clothing The majority of vest American law enforcement wear are similar to clothing in how they’re made. They have tack stitches, quilt stitches and various other techniques. Veteran garment workers will inspect the bulletproof vest just like the underwear you’re wearing today. They’re looking for any kind of sewing defect that will cause the vest to become inefficient and ineffective. What Are the Key Standards for Bulletproof Vest Protection Levels? The key standards for ballistic vest protection levels include the U.S. standards NIJ 0101.04, 0101.06 and 0101.07, the British CAST standard, the European VPAM standard, and the German Police Technical Guideline for Protective Vests (SK). These standards define the protection levels based on testing requirements, taking into account the type of ammunition and trauma impact, ensuring that the vests meet rigorous safety criteria. If shot or a partner is shot while wearing a vest go to the emergency room and be examined for blunt force trauma. Take the vest to the hospital (regardless of trail of evidence) to ensure the doctor(s) can determine the potential types of injuries to bones, organs, and tissues. My pal G Lang, an extremely qualified ballistics analyst, says that every single time you are struck in the gullet proof vest, your ribs get cracked. Every. Single. Time. Depends on what round you are it with. At least your not dead tho! =) Not TRUE at all. I’ve been shot more than 2x, and neither time have I dealt with a cracked rib. Isn’t it possible to use a trauma pad to reduce back face deformation and potential trauma? Yes this is possible. Good point! There’s a GI store selling brand new level 3 vests that’s manufactured in 2005, and it’s 2016. SMH… There is a new Kryon Terminator suit that can stop several 9mm machine gun rounds at bery close range The article is here: Are they ar500 or Kevlar ar500 lasts triple the life span All Police Officers and Cops should have this And all students at every school in the US Why are you mad,Mom? Media ? No, it’s shooters responsible for killing people in schools. And all criminals who intend to rob you of salt you rob anyone near you or take your life. Did you know more people are murdered with hands than they are with the AR-15 or any type of modern sporting firearm you know more people are murdered by drunk drivers then those by anyone using a modern sporting rifle. But they don’t blame the car now do they You have made a fundamental error in section 2 where you state: “Keep in mind that the heavier and slower the bullet is, the better off the wearer is going to be” — this is not correct, two bullets travelling at the same speed, but of different weight, the heavier bullet will have more energy and therefore greater potential to perforate the armour. Of course other factors come into play including the cross sectional area of the bullet. Thanks for your comment! We erased the “heavier” part in order to prevent any misunderstanding. We wanted to state that small and very fast rounds (e.g. FN 5.7×28mm) could be much more dangerous then slow and fat rounds (.44 Magnum) as they have a higher chance to penetrate the vest. I have no personal experience being shot with or without a vest, but my best guess would be that if somebody was hit by a .44 Mag FMJ, then they probably would suffer serious injury or death either from penetration or from blunt force trama stopping their heart. I don’t buy the argument that the vest is more likely to stop a .44 Mag than a .357 Sig. If a .44 magnum penetrates the vest, it can be quite lethal, but if the armor stops the bullet there is virtually no chance it will cause life threatening injury. Even a rifle round (with two or three times as much energy as a .44 magnum) is unlikely to inflict a lethal wound if stopped by adequate body armor (e.g. Level III, or preferably higher). Of course there may be massive bruising, broken ribs, etc., but with proper medical care there is little risk of life threatening injury. Now if you’re talking about .50 BMG, you might have a case 😉 Certain velocities may indeed penetrate armor of certain ratings, but heavier rounds bring more blunt force trauma. The more mass a round has, the more blunt force trauma. In particular if it is moving quickly like a .44 mag. The .44 mag is moving at similar velocity as a 9mm +P and pushing a bullet 2 to 4 times heavier. A 240 gn .44 mag will run at 1300-1500 fps. A 9mm +P 114 gn bullet is only pushing 1300-1400 ish fps while a non +P is subsonic, moving at 1050 to 1200 fps. So no, a 9mm of any kind is not a threat to body armor of any rating, even old school IIa armor. A .44 mag will penetrate almost all soft armor 10 years or older. It’s only recently that soft armor has been rated to stop a .44 mag. Most modern soft armor is not rated to stop a .454 cas, .500 magnum or similar rounds however. The 5.7×28mm is more of a rifle round than handgun round, though it’s fired primarily from handguns. It will run at around 2,000 fps, thus the reputation for punching through body armor. It is a rather weak round, and the penetration after passing through soft body armor is questionable. TBH if I had to be shot with something, I think I’d rather be hit with a 5.7×28 and suffer a small shallow wound than cope with the blunt force impact of a .44 mag. Neither are going to be fun, and both could kill you even with armor, but the .44 mag is more likely to kill you I feel than the 5.7. Rifle rounds will punch through soft armor with no problem. One can easily fire .300 blackout, 7.62×39 or .223 from a pistol configuration. These rounds have sufficient velocity that soft armor does not offer much protection. It’s better than nothing, but not that much. No in general terms the author is correct. You are adding in a third component energy and making the blind assumption that a heavier bullet traveling slower will have more energy just because its heavier. Even if loaded to the same chamber pressures. That is not always or even the majority of the time correct. It is very well proven that of a given bullet construction impact vel is the most deciding factor in armor penetration. Further many bullets of same caliber have more energy when they are lighter versus their heavier brethren. Beyond that loads are developed for bullet perf not max vel for a given bullet. They may also change bullet construction or a combo of both. Point being heavier in pistol ammo rarely means more energy.at handgun combat ranges. Lets even look at an extreme and then a closer one.. We can use the luckygunner test results as they were all done with the same gun and testing protocol. https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/#9mm First the heavy weight and considered one of the very best loads for the 9mm. All data is from a 3.5″ barrel: Federal 147gr HST +p load @ 1008 fps. Liberty 50gr Civil Defense +p load @ 2034fps. So we have two loads at the same general pressure range of +p one almost 3x heavier then the other short by a mere 3 grs. Using the formula Energy = Bullet Weight x Velocity^2 / 450,437 to calculate ftlb of energy (, the bullet energy (in foot-pounds) is equal to the bullet weight (in grains) times the square of the bullet velocity (in feet per minute) divided by 450,437) . Federal 147 gr HST +p @ 1008fps = 332ft/lb Liberty 50gr Civil Defense +p load @ 2034fps = 459ft/lb So we can see its not even close. The reason for some of this is at a given bullet caliber of a given construction for a bullet to get heavier it must get longer. That longer bullet has more surface area along the body and thus more barrel friction plus there are other factors that effect equal vel for weight increase. This is not some freak comparison either we can look at others even in the same product manf and line of ammo. Take the same heavy load compared to its lighter 124 gr +p brother Federal 147 gr HST +p @ 1008fps = 332ft/lb Federal 124 gr HST +p @ 1168fps = 375ft/lb As can be seen even with the exact same bullet design general pressure loading from same manf the lighter faster bullet has more energy. Now you may bring up sectional density as a key indicator of bullet penetration depth along with energy. This only really translates for same caliber FMJ with the hightech bullet construction of today you have bullets with more energy penetrate far less and other bullets that are lighter penetrate deeper. Some 115 penetrate far deeper than some 147 gr. Fact is of a given bullet diameter and frontal cross section area ( the surface area of the nose of the bullet) the velocity of the bullet is the difference in one penetrating a given level of ballistic protection or not. BTW the 50 gr civil defense load has penetrated i.e defeated every level IIa, II, soft and even IIIA plate its been tested against. Its actually a very fragile bullet construction that frags almost immediately upon penetration and usually does not exceed a pen depth of 12″ in calibrated ordnance gel Now of course if you take those same bullets of the same designs and run the heavier one very close to the exact same vel yes it will penetrate at a slightly lower vel. But its no where near the ratio of the difference in weight as a percentage. Further its now well shown that heavier bullets of same caliber and cartridge does not mean a higher muzzle energy. A common confusion is when you try to transfer long range impact energy of high power rifle rounds to handguns. In the case of rifle round retained energy is also a factor of ballistic coefficient or more correctly the drag co curve. Hornady has a great paper on it. Its why as a general rule the farther out you want to hit a target for a given bullet design the heavier bullet will usually have a higher BC or better drag curve and thus will not hold onto energy longer thus will have more retained energy. But look at bullets energy at the muzzle when both are loaded to the same psi. This is a vey close example as I wanted to try and find a comparison that gave advantage to the heavier bullet as both of these because of differences in construction have close to the same bearing surface area as well as using the lighter bullets as you approach vel over 3000 fps more and more efficiency vel gained for pressure increase of same powder decreases as vel brackets increase. But even here the lighter bullet wins or in this case for practical purposes is the same. But of course go just 100 yards and the higher bc 165gr will take off from the light poor BC bullet. We do not have these issues to deal with with SD handgun ranges and bullets where distances are measured in feet not yards and even only at more in double digit feet where rifle are measured in triple digit yards or even more these days. 308 Win Barnes load data 110 TTSX max vel 3539 fps 3054 ft/lb 165-grain TTSX max vel 2877 fps 3033 ft/lb If you check the new 07 NIJ standards you will see they use the lighter 124 gr for sig as well as one with a smaller nose cross sectional area and other rounds not heaviest in class bullets and for good reason speed is the enemy of ballistic protection penetration. You can dev into the science and physics if why this is on your own as it would take more than a post to explain it all and my post here is already obnoxiously long. So with all said and done as a rough general statement all things being equal velocity dictates penetration or defeating or not of ballistic armor. This is a fantastic and criminally under rated post, perhaps the most thorough and well argued i’ve read on the web. It is obvious you know this subject well. Are normal civilians allowed to use bullet resistant vests (as there’s kinda increase in sort hate crimes where other nationals are being shot at with possible mistaken identity) in USA for self protection from crazy shooters, and if so is there a link to purchase them and properly use them? It defeats the purpose for civilians to wear body armor. It should only be worn by Police, paramedics, security or other officials that work in high-risk emergency situations. Defeats the purpose? The purpose is to survive a gunshot. Why would it have to be “officials”… and to answer Sathya, yes they’re available to buy. Totally concur with your comment! How does that defeat the purpose of the vest? It’s designed to protect people,civilians are people. That’s bootlicker talk. Law enforcement causes issues. They protect themselves. I have every right to own whatever armor I desire. Police (and paramedics and security) ARE civilians. Unless you are in the military, you are a civillian! Speaking of military were the flack jackets from the Vietnam era any good at stopping what was being shot at you. We were told just to leave them behind. So in movies when vest are hit they take it off. Wouldn’t it be better to leave it on even if hit during a gun fight? Yes, that is correct. A vest has been tested to take several hits. Although the spot where a bullet hit the vest can be considered as a weak spot. Can a lvl iv vest stop a bullet in the lvl II vest range like a 9mm, right? Yes that is correct. Where would one get a women’s vest? Level IV will stop up to 3006 ap round, some multi round threats and below. where a good place to by one at Amazing Website. Really enjoyed reading. I have a vest that was my fathers, how long do they usually last. I’ve had it over 10 years? if you loaded a 44 magnum bullet yourself with 150 grains of lead or lighter instead of a 200 or 250 grain bullet and a hot load of powder it will go through a bullet proof vest Reloader, your statement is true in principal, but not factually. Not all vests are created equal, while I lighter hotter .44 Mag may penetrate some vests it is not a guarantee, it will not for example, punch it’s way through a $300 vest from AR500 with steel plates. Thanks for this very informative and interesting article. I was just wondering if there are any side plates also in use to protect lateral aspects of rib cage? Is there a lightweight bulletproof vest designed specifically for women? I saw one on-line with a weight of 1.3 lbs in the color of white which I believe was called the brand name of Ghost and am now unable to find it again. Are you familiar with this one? Thank you. The shells of a shotgun are very dangerous to bulletproof vests wearers because vests are not rated for these kinds of bullets. The reason? Shot shells do not have a consistent velocity. Pass this sentence by anyone that’s a gun expert for correction. .44 Magnum travels at nearly 1500 ft per second. That is faster than a 9mm and most other handgun cartridges. That is also about twice as fast as a .45 Auto, there’s really no basis for comparison between these two rounds. Your basic premise is correct in that velocity is the primary factor in defeating a vest but your examples are terrible. I would also love to see one of these serrated edge bullets you mention. Hollow points have that appearance but are the farthest thing from armor piercing. Exactly. What world is the author living in where .44 Magnum is “slow”? .45 Auto may be called slow and fat, but .44 Magnum is FAST and fat, and more of a threat to penetrate body armor (especially with hard-cast bullets) than nearly any other handgun caliber. If a shotgun (ROYAL REMINGTON 870 EXPRESS BREACHING SHOTGUN to be precise) is fired to somebody using a FBI bulletproof vest at a distance of about 1.5 meters away (59.0551 inches away), will it be able to pierce through the vest? And if not, how bad of an impact it would be considering the distance of the shotgun blast? If your vest gets wet, really wet, can you dry it out, and will it still be effective? Hi Michael, If the panels have been covered in a waterproof envelope you will still be able to use them. Almost all panels nowadays are covered in waterproof envelopes. Greetings, Scott Thanks for helping me learn more about bulletproof vests. I actually didn’t know that the ballistic panels should be placed in the carrier a certain way. It sounds important know what each side looks like so you can differentiate between the two. Actually, some of body armor is effective aga small bullets, some aga armor piercing, some against large. Some against dozens if types. Reputable body armor is specifically tested by against these threats it is supposed to protect against and the best way to know is via test results. While storage, temp, humidity, etc can matter, that is part of the testing. Some types of body armor will holds up 100% of the the time force certain bullets in certain situations by both stopping the bullet and having safe amounts of backface deformation. Others will be partly organic never effective against some types in the some situations. Generally speaking, the most important factor in the effectiveness of body armor is to knowing what bullet will be hit you in what you situation. Sometimes from police to military, body armor effectiveness can change for the worst if too much information is provided android shooters adapt to the armor. Thus, bodybuilding armor is only effective until shooters find a gun, bullet, and shoot location that works. Some armored piercing can break through. Sometimes, bigger rounds. Sometimes smaller rounds. It depends on the armor. But, in general, the more the power, the smaller the better impact area, and the closer they’ll shooter, the less likely armor is effective. Are any bullet resistant vests sold on Amazon? This seems to be a point of disagreement. When storing the vest,, where is the BEST place to store it?? Flat on a shelf and at normal room temperature. Not in the sun. it depends on the laws in your state, for instance, possessing body armor in Connecticut is illegal. However there are many places you can purchase body armor. Keep in mind however that the more lightweight vests (kevlar/ ceramic) are less durable then their heavier counterparts (coated steel) and will stop fewer rounds and of smaller caliber. Steel plates by AR500.com for example are very affordable (a vest with plates can be had for a couple hundred bucks), but quite heavy. Meanwhile other sites like Safelite Defense are much lighter but will cost you more. Incorrect: the sale of body armor is legal in all 50 US states. However, Connecticut only permits face-to-face sales. In other words, you must physically go to a store or dealer for purchasing; you may not do so through online vendors. I may be a bit late in this thread, but I cringe at the term “bullet proof” vest. Not trying to be picky here, but you address the issue in your very first item yet still refer to it as “bullet proof” through out the rest of the article? Bullet resistant and bullet proof is basically the same. It is still a stubburn myth that the word “bullet proof vest” is incorrect. Same as “water proof jacket”. The proof here can also mean “resistant”. And what purpose does it defeat??? If i live in a poor, dangerous area thats crime ridden and gang infested and you own a vest common sense says WEAR IT!!! I did not realise you had to hold a deep breath to get fitted lol! Learn somethin’ new every day. “Huge handgun rounds such as .44 Magnum and .45 ACP will travel at slower speeds” Um, no. While this may be true of the 100+ year old .45 ACP round, .44 Magnum is frequently moving at 1300-1400+ fps, on par with 9mm velocities. Perhaps the author was thinking of .44 special, which is a older, slower, low-pressure round. THE QUESTION regarding the impact lethality of a heavy bullet traveling at lower speeds versus a light bullet traveling at higher speeds has been roundly argued/discussed/fought over for decades, if not centuries, around campfires, in magazines and loading manuals, specialty books, on firearm’s boards and in corporate advertising board rooms without any definitive answers. Yes, many heavy bullets are deadly, and so are some smaller ones. Placement is critical. About the best that can be said is we must do our utmost to protect against whatever might most likely be expected. If you’re a whitetail, keep out of unprotected areas during hunting season! I remember, during one just for fun testing, of some old military vest, at one shooting range, long time ago, with some friends… we used .357, .38special, 7.62×39, shotgun, 9Para etc. Interesting results came out from the shotgun. Bigger pellets do not pass, few layers are sufficient, but smaller ones – bird shot for quail, is very interesting! Not all, but considering that there are hundreds of pellets inside the cartridge, lat say at least some 25% of pellets pass through/between fibers, because they have extremely small surface (1.2-1.5mm), and at close range still high velocity (350-400+ m/s).. so if we eliminate rifle rounds (7.62×39 etc.), shotgun slugs and big diameter pellets, more dangerous of all handgun calibers tested, was small diameter (birdshot) shotgun pellets! Also, nobody mentioned, but probably rarely used in the US, Soviet 7.62TT cal. (Yugo M-53 “Tetejac” pistol, with PPU Serbia and other ammo producers, that have cartridges of 1.500-1.700fps), it is known in “the area” as extremely good penetrator! In the past, soldiers had only one body armor option: heavy steel plate. But today, they have the luxury of choosing ceramic, steel, kevlar, and polyethylene. Of these materials, ceramic and steel are the most common. Weight: Ceramic is lighter; steel is heavier. Longevity: Steel lasts longer; ceramic has to be replaced in fewer years. Cost: Steel is less expensive; ceramic is rather pricey. Very detailed article! Didn’t know that getting armor wet could increase bullet penetration and danger. Learn something new every day. Yes, water can get between layers of ballistic fabric and increases bullet penetration. We have seen tests that showed a 25% trauma increase. I weigh 182 lbs but I’m a slender build I have a stomach . What size vest will fit me correctly? I have nothing to complain about your article, it is really good and worth reading. A bullet resistant vest is of no use if you’re shot in the head!!! If confronted by a bad guy I would aim for the Bridge of the nose. That is correct. However in a high-stress environment most persons “instinctively” aim for the largest (torso) part of the body. There are some real experts on this thread so hopefully I’ll get an answer to a couple of questions I haven’t been able to find on the web. First, if you have IIa body armor and you get shot by, say a .357 Magnum round that succeeds in penetrating your armor, do you still get some level of protection? In other words, are you more likely to survive (and if so, about how much more) than if you weren’t wearing body armor at all? If I had to guess, I’d guess that even the lower-rated armor dissipates a lot of the energy and that makes the round less lethal. The second question is sort of related. Does it matter how far away you are from the shooter? In other words, IIIa armor will protect you from a .357 Magnum round fired from a foot away but will IIA armor protect you from the same round fired, say, 50 feet away. Is that how it works? Thanks in advance for any answers anyone might have. Thanks for your comment. Please find our remarks below. 1) Say that a .357 Magnum round succeeds in penetrating your IIA body armor, chances are that the injury will be even more lethal as the armor panel has already deformed the round. However if a (slow) .357 Magnum has been stopped by the IIA body armor but exceeding the trauma allowed by NIJ it can be less lethal. 2) In general, the faster a round goes, the more penetration power it will have. So it is about the speed of the bullet on impact. At this page you can find some more details. The muzzle velocity for all .357 rounds is higher than the velocity at e.g. 50 yards. I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing such useful info, and again awesome site! Please which bullet proof or body can save one from the bullets shot by ak47 A vest that is rated Level III will stop from non-armor piecing rounds from AK47.

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is piloting methodology to assess the readiness of a value chain to adopt blockchain technology. The Global Quality and Standards Project (GQSP) in Ghana, funded by the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) and implemented in partnership with SIM (Supply Chain Information Management B.V.), looks into methodology that aims to advise developing countries willing to enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the challenges and benefits of adopting blockchain technology in a specific value chain. A fact-finding mission has piloted the methodology in the Ghanaian cocoa value chain and has provided recommendations for the adoption of the technology. “Blockchain technology is aimed at securely storing and sharing information on transactions across a network of users, and can serve to improve proof of integrity along the value chain, including quality attributes, and environmental and social compliance to standards. One of the biggest benefits is its shared nature, whereby key data transactions validated in a given point of the supply chain can be monitored at any point in time,” said Juan Pablo Davila, UNIDO Project Manager. “Blockchain is able to provide real time, accurate and complete interconnected data on provenance, quality, safety, transportation, certification and product ingredients from farm to end consumer,” Davila added. UNIDO officials, experts on blockchain and a European retailer took part in the mission. It included visits to the cocoa value chain stakeholders to map and understand their risks and key transactions, and to identify their readiness for the adoption of the technology. The visited stakeholders included key actors in the value chain that participate in a transaction and generate validated data. These include farmers, primary producers, cooperatives, transporters, warehouses, the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Licensed Buying Companies (LBC), Quality Control Company (QCC) and the Cocoa Marketing Company (CMC), Cocoa Research Institute (CRIG), Cocoa Health and Extension Department (CHED). European retailers and chocolate producers in developed countries are interested to ensure the sustainable provenance of ingredients, and to make sure premiums given for sustainable certified and high-quality compliant cocoa reaches the right farmers, thus contributing to their living wage and income. SIM has worked with over 30 European retailers and producers in making supply chains transparent, and collect and validate data they can use to continuously improve their sustainability impact where it is most needed. They joined UNIDO on this fact-finding mission: “The aim of our blockchain projects is to have a positive impact and focus on the first mile, the smallholder farmers, their communities and environment. During the fact-finding mission, all actors in the Ghanaian cocoa supply chain warmly welcomed us. With this mission and project we hope to be of added value and can build on existing initiatives and taking the next step to empower cocoa farmers, democratize data, increase digital traceability and meeting growing market demands on transparency and sustainability,” said Leontien Hasselman, CEO of SIM. “The results of the methodology is the first milestone for the application of blockchain in the cocoa value chain in Ghana. It will lay down the foundation for the next steps of its implementation.,” said Safoa Osei, GQSP Ghana Chief Technical Advisor. UNIDO has been providing technical assistance in Ghana with the support of SECO for more than 12 years. The Trade Capacity Building Project (TCB/2007-2018) provided opportunities to enhance Ghana’s quality infrastructure systems and expand the exports of Ghanaian products, including cocoa. The GQSP Ghana builds up on the results of the TCB project and continues to support the strengthening of the quality of the cocoa, cashew and oil palm value chains.

Infertility is becoming more predominant affecting both men and women all around the world at a very young age. Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant even after repeated trying for more than a year, diagnosing the exact cause of infertility can pave the way for a comprehensive treatment possibility. The causes of fertility problems in women can be attributed to ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage or blockage, endometriosis, uterine or cervical deformities, and many more. And in men, the sperm fertility factor is the leading cause of male infertility. Detection and treatment are only possible when the symptoms are monitored regularly. And it goes without mentioning that the earlier the detection, the sooner it can be cured. Treatment options include hormonal therapies and surgical corrections to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This article covers some prominent early infertility indicators that should not be ignored and must be treated at the earliest. In this Article - 1 Early indications of Infertility in Women - 2 Early Signs of Infertility in Men - 3 Conclusion - 4 Frequently Asked Questions Early indications of Infertility in Women Changes in periods and blood flow during periods While some women have mild blood flow with slight pain or discomfort, others can have heavy periods with extreme stomach cramps. Heavy, painful, and extended periods indicate issues like fibroids (non-cancerous growths of the uterus) and endometriosis (where the uterine lining outgrows the uterus walls). A clinical and surgical review shows that nearly 25 to 50% of infertile women have endometriosis and 30 to 50% of women with endometriosis are infertile. Other endometriosis symptoms include: - Irregular periods, - Bleeding between periods, - Severe pelvic pain even when not menstruating, - Painful bowel movements, - Pain during sex, - Back pain, - Nausea, and Irregular menstrual cycles Menstrual cycle irregularity includes: - Missed periods, - Delayed periods (after 35 days of your last menstruation commencement date), - Early periods (before 20 days of the first day of your last menses). Irregular periods, if happening regularly, can indicate ovulation irregularities. Irregular ovulation is caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), overweight or underweight, and thyroid problems. According to the Office on Women’s Health, irregular ovulation, PCOS, is the prime cause of infertility in women, affecting 1 in 10 women. Imbalance or fluctuations in hormones lead to noticeable symptoms, such as acne, cold feet and hands, growth of facial hair, hair thinning, extreme hair loss, mood changes, nipple discharge, low sex drive, weight gain, and more. Since a woman’s reproductive system is mainly hormone-driven, hormonal imbalance can disrupt egg development and ovulation process, causing PCOS, hyperprolactinemia, and anovulation (no or delayed ovulation). These conditions eventually lead to fertility problems in females. Hormone tests can help detect hormone problems, and hormonal medications or therapies can help balance hormones. Menstrual blood colour Menstrual blood colour can range from blackish brown to pale pink, orange, or grey. It is normal for the colour of the menstrual blood to change throughout the menstruation period and between two periods. However, if your menstrual blood is continuously pale pink, it may mean that the menstrual blood is mixing with the cervical fluid, indicating hormonal imbalance or infection. Grey menstrual blood is also a red flag for possible bacterial infection. Infections caused by harmful bacteria or sexually transmitted diseases (STD) causing bacteria if not treated, can lead to fertility issues. Being Overweight or Obese Having a healthy weight is one of the essential aspects when it comes to reproductive health. Studies have shown that women having overweight or obesity issues have fewer chances of getting pregnant and are more prone to pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, miscarriages, foetal congenital deformities, IVF failures, and stillbirth. Other Medical Conditions Other medical conditions like early menopause, cancer, cancer treatments- chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, structural deformities of the uterus, PCOS, and endometriosis, can cause fertility issues in women. Getting an early diagnosis is essential to treat these conditions and improve fertility and pregnancy chances. Early Signs of Infertility in Men It is true that men also have fertility issues. Men contribute equally to conception. Sperm fertility factors- abnormal sperm morphology, poor motile sperm, or low sperm count can lead to infertility in men. However, there are methods like surgical sperm aspiration, In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and others to counter these fertility problems in men. Some of the early male infertility indications include: - Ejaculation difficulties- small volumes of fluid ejaculation, - Erectile dysfunction, - Reduced sex drive, - Pain, swelling, or lump in the testicular region caused due to dilated veins around the testicular area, - Gynecomastia (irregular breast growth) - Hormonal issues, which most commonly present as decreased body and facial hair, - Being obese, - Undescended testicles- failure of the testicles to descend from the abdomen into the scrotal sacs. To better understand your condition and adopt the best treatment plan, your doctor will suggest some diagnostic investigations- hysterosalpingography, endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and hormone analysis for women, while sperm analysis, urine analysis, testicular biopsy, and blood tests for men. A detailed diagnosis can aid in devising a suitable treatment plan. Treatment options include surgeries to correct or repair blockage of ducts/ tubes, and removal of ovarian cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis. Assisted reproduction techniques include IUI (intrauterine insemination), IVF (in-vitro fertilisation), ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), GIFT (gamete intrafallopian tube transfer), and ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer), gamete or embryo donation. You must consult a gynaecologist without further delay if you are not able to get pregnant and have one or more symptoms mentioned above, indicating infertility. Frequently Asked Questions In females, irregular periods, heavy and painful periods, no periods, and abnormal periods are the first indications of health conditions that cause impaired fertility. Light periods occurring regularly indicate that the uterine lining is not thick enough. A thick uterine lining or endometrium can support a healthy pregnancy. But if the uterine lining is thin, the embryo can struggle to get implanted and develop. And cannot favour the best pregnancy possibility. One can prevent or reduce infertility risk by the following means: - Maintain a healthy body weight, - Moderately exercising regularly, - Quit smoking, - Tracking of periods regularly, - Eating healthy, nutritious foods, - Avoiding junk and oily foods, - Having a regular health check.

Current loop design (ACECATECH APP. 1.0) This online App serves as a guide to instrument/automation engineers and technicians in other to design and analyze their current loops. It shows the limiting wire size as well as the transmitter limiting voltage range for a given supply voltage and total loop resistance. The analog-current signalling in instrumentation and control is one of the most predominant means of communication between the field instrument and the controllers. current loops if not properly design can be very problematic. It must be noted that if a transmitter is not seeing enough voltage at the maximum loop current it will result to the transmitter mal_functioning and giving inaccurate results. If the transmitter voltage is two high perhaps higher than its maximum rating probably at the minimum loop current the transmitter might get damaged. so this online app provide you the necessary guide in your design and cable selection for your loop and all you need to do is to enter your design parameters. The transmitter transmits current signal from the field via the loop cables to the controller. for your design parameter you can fetch the minimum and maximum working voltage range from your transmitter’s data sheet. (eg 10-30v) Indicator or Display are usually found in process loops often to give a visual display of the process variable in the field. the parameter you need for indicator or display is the input impedance from the data sheet or from measurement/calculation.( eg 250Ohms) The power supply provides the necessary electric power that powers the loop. The two wire transmitter system are usually loop powered and must provide enough voltage to maintain the current in the loop. the parameter we need here for our design is the voltage level of our supply (eg 24V) This can be any microprocessor based receiver that has the capability of ADC processing. example PLC, DCS, I/P converters, etc. The parameter we need here is the input impedance. (eg 250Ohms) SERIES RESISTOR (optional) This include any type of discrete resistor found along the loop. It may come in form of voltage limiting resistor, test resistor, scaling resistor, etc. for your design parameter you find the sum of all series resistance along the loop. (eg 150Ohms) the cable is the electrical link between the transmitter and the receiver and connects all the loop elements. different sizes/gauges of wire comes with different voltage drop per length with the smaller ones with higher drops. the parameter to be entered here is your desired wire size/gauge perhaps starting from the smaller sizes/gauges, the software will suggest if the size is adequate for your application. the distance is aptly the displacement from the transmitter to the receiver along the cable. the needed parameter here is just the distance from the transmitter to the receiving instrument taking due cognizance of the path through which the cable traces. ( eg 500m) This is the range of current signal that flows in the loop. here the parameter of interest is the upper and lower range of the current signal (eg 4-20ma)

Dr Obikwe Kizito, Consultant Paediatrician based in Abuja, has called on nursing mothers to disregard the erroneous belief that breastfeeding causes breasts to sag, saying breastfeeding is the foundation of life. Kizito told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja that the misinformation had become a common belief among young mothers. “This is not medically true as it has not been scientifically proven. Therefore, nursing mothers should engage in exclusive breastfeeding for the well-being of their children,” he said. The consultant said that consistent wearing of well-fitted brazier would help keep breast firm during and after the breastfeeding period. According to him, breastfeeding also helps mothers lose the weight they might have gained during pregnancy. “Surprisingly, Nigeria still has one of the lowest exclusive breastfeeding rates of between 20 and 23 per cent of nursing mothers,” he said. Kizito also decried situation where some people viewed breastfeeding as old fashioned, a development which, he said, had been trending on the social media. He attributed the low rate of breastfeeding in the country to lack of proper education and enlightenment on the importance of breastfeeding to both the mother and the child. Kizito added that insufficient maternity leave by some employers had also significantly impacted negatively on the ability of many mothers to practise breastfeeding. This, he said, had given room to some nursing mothers to opt for milk formula as an alternative to breastfeeding, adding that fathers should encourage their wives on breastfeeding, regardless of their socio-economic status. Kizito said the child’s nutrition for the first 1,000 days of his life was very crucial, as it would protect such child from common causes of under-five mortality such as malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia, among others. “There is interplay between malnutrition and breast milk because it is the first nutrition a baby gets that sets him for good nutrition status in future. “There is also a synergetic role between a nutritional status, diseases and infection. If a child’s nutritional status is optimal, he will have less illness and frequent hospitalisation. “Breast milk is the best and most nutritious food an infant can ever get; hence it is important that everyone supports and encourages breastfeeding at every level. “It provides everything that a child requires in terms of quality and quantity to guarantee growth and development for the first six months; it improves cognitive ability and it is available and economical,’’ he said. The consultant said that the expectation was for every child to be breastfed exclusively for six months while complimentary feeding continues for two years, with adequate nutritious feeding. He listed some of the benefits of breastfeeding to include social interaction and bonding between the children and their mothers, protection of mother from post-partum haemorrhage, helping in child spacing and prevention of breast and cervical cancer. Kizito said that key indicators for health for children were immunisation and exclusive breastfeeding, adding that studies had shown that countries where this was well implemented achieved better output economically. He called on government to strengthen primary health centres across the country to provide quality antenatal services, adding that government policies on maternity leave should cover the whole period of exclusive breastfeeding. The consultant also suggested that public and private organisations should be mandated to establish crèches to encourage breastfeeding.

It might seem odd in present-day Nigeria when you tell someone you have a passion for agriculture and are looking to develop a career within this sector. Of course, most people would ask if you are not interested in being a doctor, accountant, an engineer, a lawyer, finance, an economist, or even a tech career, but what they fail to realize is and even you may not know it, is that most of these career fields are also applicable in the agricultural sector. You can become an agricultural engineer, agricultural economist, and an AI specialist focused on creating solutions to improve farming yields and more. You can read up on this blog post about different careers in agriculture youths can explore. If you are interested in the agritech side of things, you can also check out the top in-demand agritech jobs to get additional insights. Also, the agricultural sector is one of the major contributors to the country’s national GDP. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, agriculture accounted for 23.78% of Nigeria’s GDP in Q2 2021. A study by the World Bank shows that agriculture provides employment for about 34.97% of Nigeria’s population as of 2019. Indicating that agriculture has a significant impact on Nigeria’s economy, there are opportunities for anyone genuinely interested in the sector. Here are tips for selecting a suitable career in agriculture: Decide on the Field of Agriculture You Want This is the first step to selecting a career path in any job field; there are various fields in the agricultural sector, and picking a specialty to focus on will help you grow within that field. You can choose to become a farmer (crop farming, livestock farming, animal husbandry, etc.) or the other career fields in agriculture such as a farm manager, crop scientist, crop manager, farm administrator, software engineer, and many more. By now, if you’ve read some of the blog articles we recommended earlier in this article, you should have a rough idea of what you want. Once you have decided the field of agriculture you want to go into, the next step is to take a course that will enable you to gain knowledge in that field. To succeed in any career, you will need to learn everything you need to know about the course from lecturers, facilitators, or experts in that field. There are various agricultural universities and other higher institutions in Nigeria to study any agricultural-related courses. If you do not intend to go to a higher institution to learn it, you can also enroll in specialized short courses in your desired field. Having an education will also make you open to applying tech to your agricultural endeavours. Most agricultural universities and higher institutions in Nigeria ensure their students go on a mandatory 6-12 months farm practice year. This enables students studying agricultural-related courses to gain practical experience in various fields of agriculture asides from their course of specialty, ranging from crop farming, animal husbandry, farm management, farm equipment and machinery, and many more. It also prepares them for life after school. If you are not studying in a higher institution, you can gain experience by starting a small farm, applying for internships or entry-level agricultural jobs. As you continue to gain experience and grow within your chosen field, you will need to continue learning by taking courses, attending training, seminars, and other agricultural events to acquire more knowledge, experience, skills, and innovative ways to solve problems. You shouldn’t be stuck in a bubble, it may impede your career growth, and you may become uncertain about the career path you’ve selected.

First Primary School in Nigeria – Did you know that the first Primary School in Nigeria was located in Badagry? It is located in the coastal town of Badagry to facilitate communication and encourage formal education. There are so many tourist attractions in Badagry and it holds a lot of Nigerian history. History of the First Primary School in Nigeria Before the advent of Christianity and during the colonial era, there was a language barrier between the locals and the colonial masters. This often led to difficulty in understanding what the other party was saying and due to the language barrier, there were often conflicts between the colonial masters and the locals. To finally put an end to this, the first primary school in Nigeria was established. About the First primary School in Nigeria The first primary school in Nigeria was founded in 1843 in the town of Badagry. The school was named the Nursery of Infant Church which was later renamed as St. Thomas Anglican Nursery and primary school by Rev. Golmer of the Church Missionary Society (CMS). The school started at the site of the first storey building in Nigeria and was later moved to its current located at Topo Badagry. The relics of the old building still stands to date. After the introduction of the first primary school in Nigeria, this gave room for other primary schools to be established in Nigeria. The Anglican Church and the Baptist Church has stood at the forefront of improving education in Nigeria by establishing schools in Nigeria. Location of the First Primary School in Badagry The location of the first primary school in Nigeria is in Tapo Area of Badagry. Badagry is a coastal and an ancient town located close to the Benin Republic Border and it shares a border with Benin at Seme. Badagry was one of the earliest settlement of the colonial masters and a major commerce hub in the nineteenth and the twentieth century. About the First Primary School in Nigeria The classrooms were built to accommodate about 30 students each and contain a block of several other classrooms. Upon establishment of this facility, it has produced thousands of student over a hundred years and the relics of the building is still standing till date. Current State of the School The relics of the old institution is still there till today while the main school has been upgraded into a two-storey building. The building was not well maintained, the roofs are tearing apart, there are no tour guides in place, it is still a school but the section of the relics is currently not in use.

In the UK, stem cell technology and regenerative medicine are helping thousands of patients. A stem cell is any cell in an organism that can differentiate into multiple different cell types. Stem cells are able to multiply through mitosis and give rise to specialized cells, which are also able to divide and produce more stem cells like themselves. Stem cells play a vital role in normal embryonic development as well as in tissue repair processes throughout life. Varieties of adult stem cells (ASCs) have been found in nearly every tissue type, including bone marrow, blood, nerve tissue, skin, muscle, liver, and fat. These have been found to have remarkable therapeutic capabilities for treating many degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and cancer. What are called stem cells? Stem cells are the primary source of cells from which all other types of differentiated cells in the body are made. When placed in an appropriate environment (the body or a lab), stem cells can divide to produce what are called “daughter cells.” These offspring can either continue the stem cell lineage by dividing again to produce more stem cells or undergo differentiation to become specialized cells with a more defined role, such as neurons, astrocytes, myositis, and osteoblasts. Where do stem cells come from? - These cells are derived from embryos between 3 and 5 days old. A blastocyst is an early embryo with around 150 cells. Stem cells can potentially differentiate into any other type of cell in the body as long as they are pluripotent. - Recent studies have disproved the long-held belief that adult stem cells can only generate copies of themselves. One such example was the assumption that bone marrow stem cells could only generate blood cells. Bone marrow stem cells, for example, have the potential to differentiate into either bone or heart muscle cells. This investigation has spawned preliminary clinical trials to assess the study’s efficacy and safety in human subjects. Humans with neurological or cardiovascular disorders are currently being. - Genetic reprogramming has allowed scientists to convert adult cells into stem cells successfully. To avoid immune system rejection, this new method may allow reprogrammed cells to be used in place of embryonic stem cells. Scientists are unsure if humans will have any negative side effects when employing adult cells that have been modified. In this study, researchers took normal connective tissue cells and reprogrammed them to perform the role of heart cells. New cardiac cells transplanted into rats with heart failure enhanced heart function and prolonged survival. - Scientists have discovered stem cells in amniotic fluid samples collected during amniocentesis, a procedure performed on pregnant women for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Why study Stem Cell Technology and Regenerative Medicine in the UK? - The degree has an exceptional employability record, with most students securing jobs soon after finishing it. - You can skip the TOEFL if you like. - Funding Opportunities in the Form of Scholarships. - Work Placement Opportunities - After completing your degree, you are eligible for a two-year work visa. - One dependent may accompany a student at no cost, and that person may work full-time without restrictions on the student’s hours.

The topic of today’s article is the University of Giessen, including its ranking, tuition fees, cost of living, courses offered, and admissions. Giessen is a city known for its green landscapes, world-renowned universities and talents, vibrant student life, and proximity to Frankfurt. Are you aware that Giessen has one of the highest student populations in the entire country? With a population of 80 000 people, students account for over half of the population! It implies that about every second person you meet on the street is a student. As a result, you can hear dozens of languages on the streets, not just German, because many internationals come here for language classes or bachelor/masters degree Science has had a significant impact on Giessen’s history. Justus von Liebig, a scientist, produced a meat extract, a type of flavoring used in soups, here. Justus von Liebig gave his name to the town’s university, which is one of Germany’s oldest and most venerable, and a museum in Giessen, the Liebig-Museum, is devoted to him. The mathematikum, the world’s first mathematics museum, is also located in the town. BRIFE HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY OF GIESSEN The University of Giessen, commonly known as the Justus Liebig University of Giessen, is one of Germany’s oldest higher education institutions. Because the all-Hessian Landesuniversität (the adjacent University of Marburg (Philipps-Universität Marburg) in Marburg, Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel)) had become Reformed, it was created in 1607 as a Lutheran university at Giessen, Hesse-Darmstadt (that is, Calvinist). Louis V, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, who gave the university its original name “Ludoviciana,” established his own school of higher education at Giessen, with the primary purpose of insuring the education of pastors as a Lutheran institution. The university was granted a charter by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, on May 19, 1607, allowing it to begin education in October of that year. When Hesse-Darmstadt was able to seize the territory around Marburg during the Thirty Years’ War, the university at Giessen stopped to operate and was relocated to its more long-standing location in Marburg (1624/25). The Peace of Westphalia resulted in the rebuilding of the ancient site and, in 1650, the university’s move to Giessen. Link to : Havard Business School UNIVERSITY OF GIESSEN CONTRIBUTION TO NATURAL SCIENCE The University of Giessen survived the transition from the 18th to the 19th centuries uninjured, remaining the only university in the Grand Duchy of Hesse’s expanded territory. Along with Jena, Giessen served as a model for the politicized Vormärz university, and the “Giessener Schwarzen,” led by Karl Follen and Georg Büchner, epitomized the decade’s revolutionary spirit. With the Grand Duchy’s appointment of the 21-year-old Justus von Liebig in 1824 — against the university’s wishes and on the advice of Alexander von Humboldt — a new age in natural sciences began, not only in Giessen.. The antiquarian Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker, the jurist Rudolf von Jhering, the theologian Adolf von Harnack, and the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen were among the young, promising scientists who produced a fresh impulse in their respective fields of knowledge. UNIVERSITY OF GIESSEN STUDENT POPULATION For the first time in the 2017/2018 winter semester, the student enrollment surpassed 28,000 students, including 7,000 first-semester students. WHAT IS THE STUDENT LIFE LIKE IN GIESSEN? At the University of Giessen, student life is extremely enjoyable. In Giessen, there are a large number of international students. On trips organized by the GSCS or the International Office, you can meet other students. The International Pub is a great spot for students to gather and socialize, as well as a great way to learn about the community!

These events provide you a glimpse into life a century ago, and you can also attend concerts put on by local bands. The shopping streets Seltersweg and “Elefantenklo” also have an impact on the cityscape. The “Elefantenklo” is a three-holed footbridge that spans a crossroads. In comparison to the rest of the town, the entire structure is excessively big. Another eye-catcher is the “Drei Schwätzer.” These bronze sculptures on Plockstrasse were created in 1983 and are named Mariechen, Waldemar, and Justus. The city conducts fairs on weekends and holidays, where students can sample a variety of traditional street food and beverages. Snacks are available in “Mama of Africa,” “Schwätzer & Söhne,” and “Heisszeit” for students. You may also drink craft beer at the local brewery “Gasthausbrauerei Alt Giessen” and dance and chill at “Ulenspiegel” or “Monkeys.” If you want to stay active and avoid a sedentary lifestyle, the Campus Sports Association (AHS) hosts a variety of sporting events each semester.

In Germany, the majority of students live in shared apartments. These are usually groups of two to six people that live in the same flat. Each flatmate normally has his or her own room (which is normally unfurnished), while the kitchen and bathroom are shared by all flatmates. The individual you share a room with can be of the opposite sex in this situation. The monthly rent varies between 200 and 400 euros based on the size and location of the property.

March 2022: A revolutionary approach to CAR-T Cell therapy has the potential to overturn what has become a medical axiom: that the treatment’s remarkable effect on tumours comes at the expense of substantial hazards to patient safety. Patients treated with a slightly modified version of an approved CAR-T experienced advantages comparable to earlier studies, but without the typical adverse effects that sometimes send patients to the hospital and necessitate costly additional treatments. According to data released recently, the trial only enrolled 25 individuals in China. Experts believe that if the findings can be duplicated, a little molecular tinkering could make CAR-T safer and more readily available. This appears to be very promising,” said Jill O’Donnell-Tormey, CEO of the Cancer Research Institute, a non-profit organisation. “Obviously, it’s early in the game, but the response they’ve gotten from the 25 people they’ve seen thus far is astounding.” CAR-T treatments are made by taking a patient’s own immune cells, genetically modifying them to target tumours, and then injecting them with substances that encourage the body’s natural defences to join the fight. Scientists focused on the final phase in the procedure to create a safer medicine. They started with Novartis’ Kymriah, which was approved to treat two types of blood malignancies, and then created their own analogues, each sewn together with a slightly different amino acid sequence. They noticed something interesting when they tried these mutations in mice: One of the modified CAR-Ts was able to kill cancer cells without inducing a feverish immune response or generating brain inflammation, which are two of the most prevalent significant side effects of cell treatment. It also passed human testing. The altered Kymriah caused no major cases of cytokine release syndrome, an immune flareup frequent in CAR-T cells, and no neurotoxicity, according to the study published in Nature Medicine. In Novartis’ published research, however, more than half of the patients had cytokine release, and around a quarter had neurological issues. Dr. Si-Yi Chen, an immunology professor at the University of Southern California and the paper’s primary author, stated, “That was a really huge surprise to us.” Chen’s coworkers were also taken aback. The modified CAR-T looked to have found an immunological sweet spot, attracting just enough cytokines to have an effect on cancer without causing any havoc. However, it is unclear why this is the case. It’s possible that licenced CAR-Ts like Kymriah and Gilead Sciences’ Yescarta are just too powerful, and that a lesser therapy can achieve the same results with less risk. It could also be a matter of chance. Dr. Loretta Nastoupil, chief of the lymphoma department at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said, “I would look at this with a bit of caution, or cautious hope.” “Understanding the processes behind its efficacy will be crucial. There’s also the issue of long-term viability, which goes beyond the fundamental science. Approved CAR-Ts frequently result in long-term remissions. Dr. Michel Sadelain, an immunologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, said Chen’s strategy appears to be safer in the short term, but it has to be seen whether the effects will last. “The problem is that if you weaken the CAR, that’s terrific if you reduce cytokine production, but may you reduce the therapeutic effect?” Sadelain explained. “Here’s where the huge question mark is. “Only time will tell,” says the narrator. Aside from those concerns, the prospect of a safer CAR-T could significantly expand access to a treatment that is currently only available at large cancer institutions. The treatment’s side effects frequently necessitate specialist care and expertise not accessible at community hospitals, which limits the number of patients who can be treated. Then there’s the price. The cost of a CAR-T treatment is upwards of $370,000 per treatment, although that does not include the cost of hospitalisation or immune-suppressing medicines. According to Avery Posey, an immunotherapy researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, the final cost in the most severe cases frequently approaches $1 million. “What the residents at Penn call ‘CAR-Tastrophy,'” Posey said of the mix of immunological adverse effects and neurotoxicity.

S*xually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a group of infections that are transmitted through s*xual contact. These infections can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. They can range from mild to severe, and can have long-term effects on a person’s health if left untreated. When it comes to STDs and pregnancy, STDs can pose a significant risk to both the mother and the baby. In fact, STDs are one of the most common causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm labor, low birth weight, and stillbirth. They can also lead to serious health problems for the baby, including birth defects, developmental delays, and chronic illnesses. STDs That Affects Pregnancy Some of the most common STDs that can affect pregnancy include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, herpes, and HIV. Each of these infections can have different effects on the pregnancy and the developing fetus. Chlamydia and gonorrhea, for example, can cause premature birth or low birth weight in babies. Syphilis can lead to stillbirth, premature birth, or severe birth defects if left untreated. Hepatitis B can cause liver damage in both the mother and the baby, while herpes can cause neonatal herpes, a potentially fatal condition. HIV is perhaps the most concerning STD when it comes to pregnancy. If a woman is HIV-positive and does not receive treatment, there is a high risk of passing the infection to the baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. This can lead to serious health problems for the baby, including a weakened immune system and a higher risk of developing AIDS. Steps To Protect Babies From STDs Fortunately, there are steps that pregnant women can take to protect themselves and their babies from STDs. First and foremost, it is important for pregnant women to get tested for STDs early in their pregnancy. This can help to identify any infections that may need to be treated before delivery. In addition to testing, pregnant women can reduce their risk of STDs by practicing safe Intercourse, including using condoms and limiting s*xual partners. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items that could potentially spread infections. Read also: Prevention Methods For STDs For women who are already infected with an STD, there are treatments available that can help to reduce the risk of passing the infection to the baby. These treatments may include medications to reduce the viral load of HIV or antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. It is also important for women to receive regular prenatal care throughout their pregnancy. This can help to identify any potential complications and ensure that both the mother and the baby receive the care they need.

This research critically analyzed the effect of electronic banking on the Nigeria banking sector, using Zenith Bank Plc as a case study. The objective of the study is to justify the application of information technology in banking services delivery in terms of profitability to banks. This could be used as yardstick by banks that are yet to adopt information technology in the operations. The research design adopted for the study is survey research design. The main instrument used was questionnaires and statistical package for social science (SPSS). The questionnaire was used to analyze the date collected. The questionnaires was structured for easy administration, 64 copies of the questionnaires were distributed and administered. Chi-square method was used in testing the hypothesis. The finding shows that majority of the respondents strongly agreed that information communication technology has positive impact on banking operations. That is the impact of ICT has an impact on the efficiency effectiveness on the Nigeria banking system it was recommended that firms must introduce and adopt information and communication technology as a measure to increase it profit, market share and customers’ satisfaction.

Banks provide a system for easily transferring of money from one person or business to another. Banks and the many services they offer saves an incredible amount of time and ensures that funds pass hand in a legal and structured manner. Banking is a system of trading in money which involved safeguarding deposits banking and making funds available for borrowers. Banking developed in the middle ages in response to the growing needs for credit in commerce. E-banking refers to the computerized, advance and technological approaches to banking service (Ogunfowora 2005). The main purpose that banks have been serving since their inception is keeping our money safe for us. While keeping our money safe. They also let us earn a certain amount of interest on the money deposited with them. Traditional banks have been doing this and internet banks continues the same function. The only difference is the way the transactions are made. Computerized advance and technology refer not only to ways of providing goods and services but also ways of fulfilling needs and deriving satisfaction. The technology of consumption has a profound impact on the structure of the economy, influencing the goods and services to be produced and rendered. Even the attitude and values of people are in sense, a part of technology since they affect the capabilities of a nation (Ogunfowora 2005). In today’s world, computers play an incredibly large role in the way the world exists in general, and the majority of tasks could actually not be completed if not for the use of computers. Although there are certainly some areas of jobs that cannot yet be completed solely by computers and which thus still require actual manpower, for the most part, computers have helped to make life significantly easier, productive and more convenient for us all. Electronic banking have been around for quite a few years now, but has really only become prominent over the past year or so in particular. E-banking offers an array of different advantages to the user, including account balances and history including year – to-year information the ability to transfer money from one account to another to payees for bill payments, check history, records, and stop payments, check credit card balances and statements. Complete online loan application, secure interactive messaging with staff, and much more (Adebisi 2003) Electronic banking such as internet banking basically allows you to be able to do everything that you can in your regular banking institution, only with the benefit that you can do it all right from the convenience of your own home. Not only is this great because you can be comfortable and have peace of mind knowing that you can keep track yourself of all your banking issues, but as well it allow for more ease because you never have to worry about rushing out and making it to the bank (Onabanjo 2008). Nigeria along with almost all other African countries and beyond is more often than not referred to as a “third world country” To an African who have lived in any of the advanced economic of Europe and America. The reason for the tag “Third world” is clear, the advanced economy are further referred to as cash-less societies because the closing of transaction in most cases does not involve the use of cash as means of payment but other forms of convenient payment instrument. This includes cheques, credit, debit cards and electronic transfer of funds. Banks as a service industry find information technology most amendable to its operations. It has the strategic potential to change the overall structures of a banking organization or even the banking industry and commerce. This suggest that the creation of an internet electronic payment system will provide opportunity for creation of completely new sets of global and national banking relationships. The internet offers the possibility of an “Open system” payment and settlement system which operates in parallel to the existing more traditional bank-based networks, and which is particularly suited to meet the currently unsatisfied requirements for processing low value payment systems electronically. However, the institutional framework to exploit there opportunities does not yet exist, regulatory policy issued will need to be addressed in order that full advantages can be taken of the new types of commerce, which could emerge. Nigeria of today is still gambling with the problems associated with an ineffective payment system and serious efforts have not been made to solve the problem. The re-public of South Africa has through the South Africa (equivalent to the Nigeria Central Bank) established a national payment system committee, which in November 1995 publish the framework and strategy for the implementation of an effective payment system. The South Africa payment committee is almost like the Nigeria inter-bank settlement system (NIBSS), is how ever concerned with eth clearing of financial instrument. Banking at the global level as well as in Nigeria has appreciated the immense benefits derivable form information technology (IT) and has warmly embrace it, hence, such facilities as electronic fund transfer (EFT) Automated Teller Machines (ATM), automated cheques clearing facilities, abound in the banking system. In Nigeria of today cash has remain the chief means of payment for goods and services. This situation is not unknown to eth authorities as confirmed by Dr Paul A Ogwuma (OFR) government of the Central Bank of Nigeria (2000) saying that: “as a result of the declining confidence in the financial system, most Nigerians today prefer to settle their transaction in cash. This explains why between the end of 1986 and December 1994, total current in circulation and in particular currency outside the banking system had both increased substantially. Financial instruments cheques, drafts etc are used by a few who hold bank depots accounts. Nigerian banks have no alternative but to embrace the new information, technology in order to achieve, efficiency and competitive advantage. It is encouraging that many banks have joined the global trend and are obviously reaping the immense benefit, few of them have hooked up to the information supper high way. The internet and the implication on their performance have been far-reaching. (Adebisi 2003). 1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The primary purpose of the banking system is to create and manage financial resources and to meditate between surplus and deficit economy units. In the process of carrying out this fundamental role, the banking system provides secondary services, which includes mobilizing financial resources for investment purpose assisting in resources allocation, promoting the payment system a facilitating international trade. In the final analysis, the performance of the sector is measured not only by the number a variety of services that are provided but also more importantly by the speed efficiency and safety with which these services are provided. With the problems and limitations associated with manual banking procedures as witnessed in most parastatals today, the problem associated with the existing application programs even much more in the presence of serious technological advances aimed at improving information system. This is activities aimed at shedding light upon the need for improvement in accounting activities and the means of achieving efficiency, effectiveness reliability and success promising future through computer intervention. E-banking identifies a particular set of technological solution for the development and the distribution of financial services, which rely upon the open architecture of the internet. With the implementation of an internet banking system, the banks maintain a direct relationship with the end users via the web and are able to provide a personal characterization to the interface, by offering additional customized services. As already observed, one way of enhancing these has witnessed phenomenal growth change especially since the mid 1980’s and these have manifested in the enormous volume and complexity of operation increased innovations and variety in product / service delivery, financial liberalization, growing competition, customer sophistication and business process re-engineering. Online banking services has grown from simply allowing customers to check balances, to trading assets. Today banks like ING Direct are functioning entirely online. With no brick and motar building. With the costs saved by requiring fewer employees and the lack of facility expenses, these virtual banks can often offer higher interest rate than their traditional counterparts. E-banking gives you the power to control your finances completely, you are no longer tied down to managing your money during the hours the bank is open. If you want to transfer a balance after business hours, you can! if you have access to the internet and have a number of recurring monthly bills. Then you should use internet banking to make you life easier. These developments have not only been driven by technology advances but have also in turn spawned technological development. It is therefore true to say that technology has been the hub of banking development since the last decade and will continue to be so into the 21st century. Therefore, there are however problem that arise from the era of technological advances: which are Nigeria banks has been slow adapter of information technology (IT). They are slow at moving from the conservative business practices to that oriented towards the emerging paradigm driven by now technology 1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of E-banking on the banking sector in Nigeria. Specifically, the study aims to: (i) Examine the prospect of information technology in modern banking operations in Nigeria. (ii) Evaluate the impact of electronic banking on the operations of financial institution in the country. (iii) Examine the role of organizational structure in information processing (iv) Examine the effect of electronic – banking on bank – customer – relationship. (v) Identify barriers to efficient technology system with a financial institution. (vi) Make suggestions on how to make information technology system more efficient in modern banking operations relying on the opinions of operators in the industry. 1.3 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY Technology has played a very important role in the modernization of banking sector especially in terms of the development of the product and payment systems. The increase volume, complexity competitiveness, customers sophistication and globalization of financial services required modern technology if the bank want to remain in the business. The tidal wave of the internet with its rapidly expanding use as an information exchange tool by individual business around the globe, has as spurned the expansion of business across national frontier resulting in the globalization of trade. The global computers network is also binging to the fore, the famed information age. The volume a speed of banking transactions have improved significantly because of the growth of internet connectivity indeed; internet has opened greater business, opportunities. In order to capture a segment of an increasingly sophisticated clientele, Nigeria banks in the last two years gave embraced contemporary electronic options whereby a customer needs not physically visit a bank before transaction would be affected. The Nigeria banking industry is emerging from the work period of distress in nations financial systems to focus in capturing the niche staked in business. Nigeria banks are making a transition from the conservative business practice towards the emerging paradigm driven by new technologies for increasing sophisticate customer demand and competitions. 1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS This research work shall be guided by the following research questions: (a) Dose E-Banking contributes to the efficient of banks and bank-customer relationship in Nigeria? (b) To what extent would electronic banking improve the fortune and profitability of banks? (c) How has E-Banking effect performance in the banking sector? (d) How has E-banking improved financial aspect of the Nigeria citizen? 1.5 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESES The null and alternative hypothesis to be tested are: Ho: The adoption of information technology does not improve bank efficiency a bank – customer relationship H1: The adoption of information technology improve bank efficiency a bank – customer relationship Ho: E-banking in banks has no impact on efficiency and effectiveness on the Nigeria banking sector. H1: E-banking in banks has an impact on efficiency and effectiveness on the Nigeria banking sector. 1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY The study is limited to the examination of the aspect of introduction and adoption of electronic banking and an extension, and what form of card, is a major payments system in place of the cash-based settlement, system predominant in Nigeria. Apart from cards, which are now cash, there are other form of contemporary payment instrument, they are classified into three broad categories. These are cash (note and coins) non-cash (paper-based instruments) such as cheques. electronic system such as Automated Teller Machines (ATM). The study also examine the feasibility of using on-line banking and the use of cards for other objective other than settlement based on the concept of electronic funds transfer through such electronic system ATM etc. The scope of the work will also extend to the basic infrastructural requirements and the gains to the society in general. 1.7 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The major limiting factor of this study is the texts and papers on banks, electronic and the Nigeria payment system unlike that of advanced economics. This may be attributed to the newness of the introduction of electronic banking in Nigeria. There is also the death of secondary data and relevant information on the project topic. Banks which have introduced one form of on-line banking or electronic banking and non cash system like “western money transfer” “first cash” by first bank’ “money gram” by UBA “PAYCARD” by Diamond Bank” “Wema link by Wema Bank”, value card by platinum Habib Bank in Nigeria are resisting to discuss their product. This by understanding will enable them continue to maintain competitive advantage over and above their competitors most information available are only description and does not include statistics on sales. Finance was another major handicap, it restricted the movement and sourcing of materials hence the scope of the study will be restricted to few banks and to Lagos and its environments. 1.8 ORGANIZATION OF THE STUDY The rest of this study shall be divided into four chapters: chapter two will deal with the literature review and the role of information technology in business operations. Apart from the profile of Zenith Bank that would be examined in chapter three, the methodology analysis which includes the characteristics and basic elements of the research study shall also be presented. Data presentation, analysis and interpretation will be covered in chapter four while the concluding part of the research work will be chapter five where in a nutshell the summary, the conclusion and the recommendations would be discussed. 1.9 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS Banks: Banks are institutions that create and manage the financial resources of individual companies and nations.

Although skating is not acknowledged as a sport by the necessary sports bodies in Nigeria, all that notwithstanding, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu as well as Abuja now have a growing population of youth engaging in this risky sport. In Abuja, the well-maintained tarred roads attract skaters at weekends. These skaters can be noticed on some roads in the federal capital, converging at Jabi Lake. However, in Lagos state, the activities of skaters have become a menace on the roads. Indeed, skating is a risky sport. However, skating in an unorganized environment makes it even riskier – and Lagos is notorious for its disorganize setup and traffic scenarios. The presence of skaters on the road – engaging in risky maneuvers – is not helped by the fact that there are no skating parks in Lagos. Although, the National Stadium, Surulere, offers a makeshift skating arena. On the streets and highways, it is typical to see skaters holding on to buses or commercial tricycles (Keke NAPEP), etc. These are dangerous tactics because when the speed of the vehicle becomes very high, the skater might not be able to control their own movement. Even more worrisome is that these skaters do not put on protective gears to protect them in the event of an accident. Some of these protective gears include a helmet, elbow pads, wrist guards, knee pads, etc. Furthermore, any fatality resulting from a skater holding on to a vehicle would most likely be blamed on the driver, as ignorance of the presence of the skater might not be acceptable by the authorities. During the administration of Governor Fashola, a ban on skating activities on the roads in Lagos was effected. According to Fashola, “They cannot skate on the highways. It is a violation of the traffic law 2010. I implore all parents to call their children and their wards to order because any child found skating on the highway will be arrested and will be brought to justice. It must stop today. Skating on the highways has to stop now. The danger is too much and it is the responsibility of the government to safe lives,”. On their part, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) discourages skating on the roads. Currently, no regulations apply specifically to skaters.

Hi there, in today’s article, we’re going to pit Megapixels vs Pixel/Sensor size. As most people are starting to become more tech enlightened these days, you hear them make use of the words “megapixels”. They do this to try to rate different camera abilities on different smartphones. Smartphone makers encourage this too. They tout the amount of megapixels present in their camera sensors and turn a blind eye to other camera specifications. This might lead one to believe (more often than not) that megapixel counts are the “alpha and omega” when it comes to rating camera abilities. These days, however, there is another school of thought that believes that camera prowess and ability should be evaluated by the size of the sensor as well as that of the pixels. For those who may not know, a pixel is a light-collecting bucket on a camera sensor. A megapixel simply means that there are a million pixels on the sensor. A camera with 12 megapixels (12MP) has 12 million pixels arranged on the camera sensor to help catch light (I have explained the process in detail here). A camera sensor is a photographic plate at the rear end of the camera. It holds the pixels that are used to catch the light as well as the electronic circuitry to convert the light into electric signals and send them to the phone’s Image Signal Processor (ISP) for post-processing (a more detailed explanation can be found here). The pixels that catch light also come in different sizes measured in micrometers (µm). The bigger the pixel size, the more light it can catch. THE MEGAPIXEL ARGUMENT The number of megapixels used in a camera is very important. A high number of megapixels boosts the resolution of an image. The image retains a lot of details from the scene, especially when zoomed in. It also provides a very quick and easy way to rate cameras. This is very true when you look at 1MP cameras against 5MP cameras or 8MP cameras against 12MP cameras. As soon as you go over 12MP cameras and start heading towards 48MP and 64MP, things start to get a little mixed up. The problem is compounded when pixel binning is thrown into the mix. THE PIXEL/SENSOR SIZE ARGUMENT The size of the pixels and sensor used in building cameras is rarely talked about. A lot of people barely even know that they exist but they are very vital to determine camera performance. The size of the sensor affects the type (size) of pixels used. It also determines the number of pixels that a manufacturer can pack into the sensor. A big sensor means that they can pack bigger pixels into the sensor. Even if they choose not to use bigger pixels, they can pack a lot more smaller pixels into the much bigger sensor. Small pixels (0.8µm) do okay in bright daylight but perform horribly in lowlight conditions. Bigger pixels work excellently in daylight and they do very well in the dark as they can collect a lot more light and render a better image than small pixels. Megapixels vs Pixel/Sensor size Megapixel counts are only good for image resolution and for packing a lot of details. The size of the sensor on which they are packed is much more important. A camera with a high megapixel count (48MP) made up of small 0.8µm pixels can be destroyed by a 12MP camera with 1.4µm (or even 2.4µm) sized pixels. The sensor on the left has 12 boxes. Each box represents a million pixels so it is a 12MP camera. The one on the right has 48 boxes representing 48MP. The 12MP camera on the right has bigger pixels and a sensor. It will take better photos both day and night, completely outperforming the smaller 48MP. The smaller 48MP sensor would combine 4 pixels (or boxes) to get a wider surface area. This will boost its performance, but that would effectively reduce its resolution back down to 12MP. Today, there are so many companies touting cameras with a high number of megapixels all over the place. So it is important to note that all 48MP cameras are not equal. Some 48MP cameras with very small sensors and even smaller pixels would give you terrible shots. Some 12MP cameras will give you flagship-grade performance. Both Apple and Google use 12MP cameras. Their cameras give out better shots than most 48MP cameras on the market today. WHAT MAKES UP A GOOD CAMERA? Well, a good camera should have good hardware (a well-sized image sensor and pixels as well as a good megapixel count). It should also have good software to process those photos. Software in photography has started to take a more pivotal role these days. When you look at this megapixels vs pixel/sensor size argument. It is very clear that even though the device needs all of the specs in question, pixel/sensor size is more important. If a company fails to post their hardware specs or release them to reviewers beyond the usual megapixel count, then they are practicing false advertising and you probably should not buy from them. This brings me to the end of this post, if you have any contributions, questions, or inquiries leave a comment. Thank you. Please leave a comment if you have any difficulty and remember to:

ARCHEOLOGISTS in Turkey say they have discovered the world’s oldest known bread, dating back to 6600 BC. A largely destroyed oven structure was found in an area called “Mekan 66,” where there are adjoining mudbrick houses, at the archeological site of Çatalhöyük in the southern Turkish province of Konya, according to Turkey’s Necmettin Erbakan University Science and Technology Research and Application Center (BİTAM). Around the oven, archeologists found wheat, barley, pea seeds and a palm-sized, round, “spongy” residue, it said in a press release Wednesday. Analyses determined that the organic residue was 8,600-year-old, uncooked, fermented bread. “We can say that this find at Çatalhöyük is the oldest bread in the world,” archeologist Ali Umut Türkcan, head of the Excavation Delegation and an associate professor at Anadolu University in Turkey, told Turkish state news outlet Anadolu Agency Wednesday. “It is a smaller version of a loaf of bread. It has a finger pressed in the center, it has not been baked, but it has been fermented and has survived to the present day with the starches inside. There is no similar example of something like this to date,” he added. Scanning electron microscope images showed air spaces in the sample, with the sighting of starch grains “eliminating our suspicions,” biologist Salih Kavak, a lecturer at Gaziantep University in Turkey, said in the release. He added that analyses uncovered chemicals found in plants and indicators of fermentation. Flour and water had been mixed in, with the bread having been prepared next to the oven and kept for a while. CLICK FOR MORE NEWS UPDATES HERE: http://www.sojworldnews.com “It is an exciting discovery for Turkey and the world,” Kavak said. The organic matter – both wood and bread – was preserved by thin clay that covered the structure, according to Türkcan. Çatalhöyük, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, was home to approximately 8,000 people during the Neolithic period, between around 10,000 BC to 2,000 BC, and is one of the world’s first places of urbanization, according to BITAM. Research at the well-preserved site has revealed distinctive housing layouts and extensive features such as wall paintings and reliefs – causing it to be considered “the most significant human settlement documenting early settled agricultural life of a Neolithic community,” according to the UNESCO website. “Çatalhöyük was already the center of many firsts. The world’s first weavings were already in Çatalhöyük when it was excavated. Wooden artifacts were also in Çatalhöyük. Wall paints and paintings were added to this. Konya and Turkey are very lucky in this sense,” Türkcan said YOU can join our WhatsApp Broadcast List for our news updates by sending your name and location to WhatsApp No. 09069473894 PLEASE SEND STRICTLY TO WHATSAPP, DONT SEND SMS MESSAGE.

Gen X workers aged 45 and older may be bearing the brunt of a global unemployment crisis as the COVID-19 pandemic adds to existing challenges for older workers. According to a new report released from Generation titled ‘Meeting the world’s midcareer challenge’ on Monday, the rapid digital adoption during the pandemic has accelerated the automation of jobs and worsened underlying ageism, making it harder for midcareer workers to secure roles. The global study was conducted between March and May 2021, and surveyed 3,800 employed and unemployed people from 18 to 60 years old and 1,404 hiring managers across seven countries. The report said, “Forty-five + individuals regard age as one of the biggest barriers they face in finding a job. COVID-19 has harmed employment opportunities for midcareer, and has worsened employment conditions for midcareer and other workers alike. “Age 45+ individuals make up a high share of the long term unemployed. Hiring managers have a negative view of 45+ jobseekers even though employers rate highly the job performance of those they hire. “The age bracket individuals with the greatest need for training are the most hesitant to pursue it. Despite national differences, the challenges and experiences of 45+ individuals are global, displaying striking consistency around the world.” Generation’s CEO, Dr Mona Mourshed, said the report had, for the first time, put a number on ageism. This is a demographic that is absolutely in need and it’s very clear that once you reach a certain age, it just becomes much harder to access a job opportunity,” he said. Mourshed added, “No single action will solve the challenges uncovered by our survey as deep-seated societal issues and attitudes lie at the heart of age-based biases, and they will take time to address. “Nonetheless, national governments and global multilaterals can publish short-and long-term unemployment statistics with narrower age brackets, to enable policymakers to spot the distinct problems faced by different cohorts as they move through their working lives.” He added that practitioners and policymakers could link training programmes directly to employment opportunities, and provide stipends to support 45+ individuals who were hesitant to train.

He doesn’t carry the child, but a father’s prenatal anxiety may have an affect on children’s later behavior. For years, research centered around how a mother’s mental health could impact her child’s development, including later behavioral problems, but the latest research suggests that it’s not just mom’s mental state that may be important. Although studies on paternal influences are still scarce, a 2011 study, for example, found that a child’s chance of developing behavioral or emotional problems increases by 11% if his father has signs of depression. But those studies involved children growing up in households with one or more depressed parents. But the current analysis, published in the journal Pediatrics, looked at the role of men’s mental health during their partner’s pregnancy, and found a link between dad’s mental health and their child’s behavioral development. The Norwegian researchers looked at data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study that follows 31,663 children and includes self-reported mental health information from fathers in week 17 or 18 of pregnancy. The scientists found that around four and half months into pregnancy, 3% of fathers reported high levels of psychological distress and this anxiety was strongly linked to their child’s behavioral problems at age 3. Kids whose fathers had higher levels of distress had more behavioral and emotional issues overall. “The findings from this study suggest that some risk for future child emotional and behavioral problems can be identified during pregnancy, and as such the results are of importance for health professionals and policy makers in their planning of health care in the prenatal period,” the study authors write. But how does a father’s stress influence a growing fetus? The authors offer a couple of speculative reasons. Depression in expectant fathers may impact the mental health of their pregnant partners and cause hormonal changes in mothers that could influence their pregnancy. They also acknowledge that a father’s mental health prior to the birth is likely to predict his mental health after his child is born, and, as previous studies have shown, children raised by parents with mental stress could negatively impact the toddlers’ behavior. “There is dramatically less literature on the influence of fathers’ depression than for mothers,” says Michael Weitzman, a professor of pediatric medicine at New York University who authored the 2011 study on fathers’ depression and their kids’ behavioral problems but was not involved in the current study. “What does this say about us as a society that we don’t think about fathers this way? We don’t think about men and their profound influence on children.” Weitzman and his team found that the biggest predictor of depression in mothers is living with a depressed spouse. It’s a somewhat obvious, but meaningful finding that has not been addressed in relation to child development. “In the midst of the recession, and the large number of people returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, no one has thought to frame this in terms of a child issue. One of the biggest predictors of depression in fathers is losing a job,” says Weitzman. The researchers acknowledge there is a need for more research in this area, especially long-term studies with a larger number of parent-child pairs and more objectively measured data on mental health status. But the findings open a new window into another potential contributor to childhood behavior issues that could lead to helpful interventions that relieve some of the stress that all parents, both moms and dads, feel when starting or adding to their family.

What Is Postnasal Drip? Postnasal drip is the drainage of mucus from your nose or sinuses into your pharynx, or throat. Every day, glands in the linings of your nose, throat, airways, stomach, and intestinal tract produce mucus. Your nose alone makes about a quart of it each day. Mucus is a thick, wet substance that moistens these areas and helps trap and destroy foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses before they cause infection. Normally, you don't notice the mucus from your nose because it mixes with saliva, drips harmlessly down the back of your throat, and you swallow it. When your body produces more mucus than usual or it's thicker than normal, it becomes more noticeable. The excess can come out of the nostrils -- that's a runny nose. When the mucus runs down the back of your nose to your throat, it's called postnasal drip. This feeling that something is dripping down your throat is a common symptom of conditions such as the common cold, sinusitis, and allergies. It can cause a sore throat or a cough. Inflammation or swelling of the nasal passages can cause postnasal drip to build up. When that happens, the excess mucus, or snot, can also cause congestion. Common reasons for nasal inflammation include viral or bacterial infections, allergies, or irritants in the air. When you're not feeling well, it's common to get postnasal drip. It can feel gross and uncomfortable. In some cases, postnasal drip may turn into a chronic cough or ongoing problem. Mucus Colors Meaning Mucus is mostly water, antibodies, proteins, and dissolved salts. It's your body's way of trapping dust, dirt, and other particles from entering your lungs. Color changes to your mucus may mean something is going on with your health. It's more common to get thick, colored mucus at the beginning of a bacterial infection. And other symptoms caused by a bacterial infection often last more than 10 days without getting better. With a viral infection, it's more common to get thick, colored mucus later, after several days. Normal mucus is clear. It means that your nasal passages are healthy. In the beginning stages of a cold or allergy, you may still have clear mucus, just more of it. That extra mucus is the sign that the body is fighting off an infection or irritation. White or cloudy mucus is often thicker. This happens because your nasal passages become swollen or inflamed, which causes your mucus to lose moisture. White or cloudy mucus may mean you have a cold or nasal infection. Yellow mucus can mean your cold or nasal infection is getting worse. Both bacterial and viral upper respiratory infections can cause yellow mucus. The color comes from white blood cells that rush to the infection to try to clear it. An increase in the number of certain immune system cells or in the enzymes these cells produce can cause your mucus to change to yellow or green. Green mucus can be a sign of a more serious viral or bacterial infection. It means your immune system is working hard to fight off the infection. Green mucus is thick with dead white blood cells. If you still feel sick after 10 days or if you have a fever, see your doctor right away. Green mucus can mean you have sinusitis. You will need to take antibiotics to treat this bacterial infection. Brown mucus can be a sign of exposure to pollution or smoking. It can also be caused by a bacterial infection or the presence of dried blood, which can occur from blowing your nose too hard. If your mucus is brown and you have other symptoms, see a doctor right away to rule out any serious conditions. Heavy smokers and people with certain lung diseases are more likely to have brown or black mucus. Black mucus isn't a common color and can be a sign of exposure to very high levels of pollution or smoke. The debris can build up in your nose. In rare cases, black mucus can mean you have a serious fungal infection. These infections are more common in people with compromised immune systems. If you have other symptoms or have a compromised immune system, see your doctor right away to rule out any serious issues. Pink or red mucus Pink or red mucus can be a sign of bleeding in the nasal passages. Blowing or rubbing your nose too hard can cause some blood vessels to break. You may see a pinkish hue. In some cases, you may get a nosebleed. An infection can also cause your nose to bleed. If the red color is accompanied by other symptoms, see a doctor right away for treatment. What Causes Postnasal Drip? The excess mucus that triggers it has many possible causes, including: - Allergies, also called allergic postnasal drip - Sinus infection or sinusitis, which is an inflammation of the sinuses - Object stuck in the nose (most common in children) - Certain medications, including some for birth control and blood pressure - Deviated septum, which is the crooked placement of the wall that separates your two nostrils, or some other problem with the structure of the nose that affects the sinuses - Changing weather, cold temperatures, or really dry air - Certain foods (for example, spicy foods may trigger mucus flow) - Sensitivity to bright lights - Fumes from chemicals, perfumes, cleaning products, smoke, or other irritants Sometimes the problem isn't that you're producing too much mucus, but that it's not being cleared away. Swallowing problems can cause a buildup of liquids in the throat, which can feel like postnasal drip. These problems can sometimes occur because of a blockage or conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD. Postnasal Drip Symptoms Postnasal drip can be a small annoyance at first. Your throat may feel scratchy. Too much mucus can also make your voice sound hoarse, or like you are gurgling. You may have an urge to constantly clear your throat. A buildup of mucus can also cause bad breath. Over time, postnasal drip can cause a sore or irritated throat. It can lead to inflammation, which can cause your tonsils and other tissues in your throat to swell. It also can trigger a cough, which often gets worse at night. In fact, postnasal drip is one of the most common causes of a cough that just won't go away. If the mucus plugs up your Eustachian tube, which connects your throat to your middle ear, you could get a painful ear infection. You could also get a sinus infection if those passages are clogged. Postnasal drip and nausea Nausea isn't a typical symptom of postnasal drip. But if too much mucus drains into your stomach, it can cause nausea or vomiting. Some people may also have nausea when taking certain medications used to treat postnasal drip symptoms such as decongestants. These medications can cause stomach upset and may lead to nausea in some individuals. If you're experiencing nausea while taking these medications, talk to your doctor about alternative treatment options. Postnasal Drip Diagnosis To figure out what's causing your postnasal drip, your doctor will: - Ask about your medical history, including symptoms with your postnasal drip - Do a physical exam of your ear, nose, and throat. Your doctor may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor, called an otolaryngologist. The ENT doctor may recommend a nasal endoscopy. This procedure looks inside your nasal cavity and the openings of your sinuses using a special device called an endoscope -- a thin flexible tube with a camera and a light. They may also order imaging tests such as X-rays. If your doctor thinks allergies are causing your postnasal drip, they may refer you to an allergy doctor for testing and treatment. Postnasal Drip Treatments How you treat postnasal drip depends on what's causing it. Antihistamines and decongestants can often help with postnasal drip caused by sinusitis and viral infections. They also can be effective, along with steroid nasal sprays, for postnasal drip caused by allergies. The older, over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines, including diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), might not be the best choices for postnasal drip. When they dry out mucus, they can actually thicken it. They also may make you drowsy. Newer antihistamines may be better options and are less likely to cause drowsiness. They include: - Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - Desloratadine (Clarinex) - Fexofenadine (Allegra) - Levocetirizine (Xyzal) - Loratadine (Claritin, Alavert) It's a good idea to check with your doctor before taking these because all of them can have side effects that range from dizziness to dry mouth. Oral decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), can shrink swollen blood vessels and tissues in your nasal and sinus passages. This can help unblock a stuffy nose and cause fewer postnasal drips. OTC corticosteroid nasal sprays can also help. They include: Nasal spray decongestants containing oxymetazoline (Afrin or Vicks Sinex) can often stop postnasal drip more quickly. But these should be taken for no more than a couple of days. Anything longer than that can create a rebound effect, making your congestion worse. If OTC medications don't help, you may need a prescription medication. If postnasal drip is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics can help clear up the infection and stop the drip. Antibiotics don't work on colds and other viral infections. Prescription medications for postnasal drip may include nasal sprays like beclomethasone and ipratropium (Atrovent). Deviated septum surgery Postnasal drip can also cause mucus buildup. To thin out your mucus, you can use saline or medicated nasal sprays. You can also take a mucus-thinning medication such as guaifenesin (Mucinex). Postnasal Drip Home Remedies For centuries, people have treated postnasal drip with all kinds of home remedies. Probably the best known and most loved is hot chicken soup. While it won't cure you, hot soup or any hot liquid might give you some temporary relief and comfort. It works because the steam from the hot liquid opens up your stuffy nose and throat. It also thins out mucus. And because it's a fluid, the hot soup will help prevent dehydration, which will make you feel better, too. Because postnasal drip can cause thick mucus, keeping it thin can help relieve symptoms. Thick mucus is stickier and more likely to bother you. Keeping mucus thin helps prevent blockages in the ears and sinuses. A simple way to thin it out is to drink more water. Other home remedies To manage postnasal drip and the thick mucus it causes: - Take a hot, steamy shower. - Prop up your pillows at night so that the mucus doesn't pool or collect in the back of your throat. - Use a nasal irrigation, such as a neti pot, to flush mucus, bacteria, allergens, and other irritating things out of the sinuses. - Use a vaporizer or humidifier to add moisture in the air. Postnasal Drip Prevention Postnasal drip is a common symptom of many respiratory and cold viruses. But with more than 200 cold viruses, it can prove difficult to prevent catching a cold. Viruses can spread through the air and can linger on surfaces that you touch every day. But there are some things you can do to lower your risk of getting sick, or developing postnasal drip. Wash your hands To prevent the spread of germs, wash your hands before and after: - Preparing food - Eating food - Caring for someone who is sick, especially with vomiting or diarrhea - Treating a cut or wound Also wash your hands after: - Blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If possible, cough or sneeze into your elbow, to help prevent the spread of germs to others. - Using the toilet - Changing diapers or cleaning a child who has used the toilet - Handling pet food/treats and pet waste - Touching garbage - Touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste Get recommended vaccines, such as the flu and COVID-19 vaccines, to help prevent you from getting sick with a virus in the first place. If you have allergies, you can take OTC allergy medication before spring allergy season to help prevent postnasal drip. Cromolyn (Nasalcrom) is an OTC nasal spray that helps prevent allergy symptoms in your nose. It reduces runny nose and postnasal drip. Cromolyn isn't an antihistamine, so it doesn't provide immediate relief of symptoms. It takes 1 to 2 weeks to work and for best results should be taken before allergy season starts. Your doctor may also recommend immunotherapy, or allergy shots, to prevent allergy symptoms before they start. You can also prevent seasonal and other allergies, including indoor allergens, by reducing your triggers: - Cover your mattresses and pillowcases with dust-mite-proof covers. - Wash all sheets, pillowcases, and mattress covers often in hot water. - Use special HEPA air filters in your home. These can remove very fine particles from the air. - Dust and vacuum regularly. Postnasal Drip Outlook Most people experience postnasal drip at some point. It's a common symptom of colds, allergies, and infections. Most of the time, you can treat postnasal drip with OTC medications and at-home remedies. If you keep getting postnasal drip, or it doesn't go away and you have other symptoms, see your doctor to find out the cause and best way to treat it. When to See the Doctor Call your doctor if: - Your postnasal drip smells bad. - You have a fever. - You start wheezing. - Your symptoms are severe or last for 10 days or more. These may be signs that you have a bacterial infection. And let your doctor know right away if you notice blood in your postnasal drip. If medication doesn't relieve your symptoms, you might need to see an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist (also called an otolaryngologist) for evaluation. Your doctor might want you to get a CT scan, X-rays, or other tests. Postnasal drip is a common symptom of allergies, nasal irritants, and bacterial and viral infections that causes your nose to increase mucus production. The excess mucus then drips down the back of your throat. Postnasal drip causes other symptoms, including a sore throat, hoarse voice, lingering cough, and bad breath. If your postnasal drip gets worse, doesn't get better after 10 days, or you have a fever with it, see your doctor. They can help figure out what's causing it and how best to treat it. Postnasal Drip FAQs What does postnasal drip feel like? Your nose makes about a quart of mucus every day. Most of the time, you don't feel it because it mixes with saliva and you swallow it unnoticed. But when you have a nasal irritant or infection, your nose can produce more and thicker mucus. Postnasal drip feels like liquid dripping in the back of your throat. As the mucus builds up, it can make you feel congested or stuffed up. It can also feel like a sore, scratchy, or tickly throat. What is the best over-the-counter medicine for postnasal drip? There are several types of OTC medicines that can treat postnasal drip. But what works best will depend on what's causing your postnasal drip. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you choose one that's right for you and your symptoms. What allergies cause postnasal drip? Any allergy or irritant to your nose can cause a runny nose and increase postnasal drip. Examples are dust allergies or seasonal pollen allergies. Why won't the mucus in my throat go away? Mucus buildup can become thick, so it may take time to clear up. To help thin out thickened mucus, try using medicated or saline nasal sprays. An irrigation device called a neti pot can also flush out thick mucus. A hot steam shower can also help moisten your nasal passages and relieve congestion. You can take medication called guaifenesin (Mucinex) to thin out mucus. Sometimes when mucus builds up it can cause a bacterial infection, and you'll need antibiotics to help clear it up. Does Flonase help with postnasal drip? Flonase is an OTC steroid nasal spray that treats sneezing, itchy, or runny nose caused by seasonal allergies. It can help stop a runny nose and postnasal drip.

What is a solar thermal power plant? Most of the power plants in the world are thermal power plants. The main operation of the thermal power plant is to convert heat energy into electrical energy. The solar panel works by following the same things. The solar panel converts sun energy into electrical energy. It means we get electrical energy from the solar panel by converting heat energy. For this reason, the solar power plant is considered a thermal power plant. We know that solar energy is a renewable energy source and we don’t need money to get solar energy. In this case, we need a solar panel, solar inverter, batteries, connector, and some other small components. If we can install it successfully then we don’t need to pay the electricity bill monthly. So, if you install a solar panel at home then it can be the best choice to completely minimize the electricity bill. However, let’s see the construction and working of solar thermal power plant that we should know before using. Solar thermal power plant working principle How solar thermal power plant works? Solar thermal power plant working principle is a bit different than a solar power plant. Basically, solar power plants generate electricity from solar energy into the electricity no turbine is required here. But you will require the battery to store energy, and an inverter to convert DC power to AC power. However, solar thermal power does not require a battery or inverter. It is because a solar thermal power plant generates AC electrical energy through a turbine and generator. However, let’s see what is the main working process of the solar thermal power plant. Can you remember about magnifying glass or fire glass? It is a high-tempered glass if we hold this glass on a piece of paper along with the sunlight we will see that the paper burns. Solar thermal power plant works in this way. In this plant, electricity is generated by using the heat of the sun. Indeed different types of mirrors are used to reflect the sunlight and concentrate in a place. So that it is possible to increase more heat in that concentrated area. Now, this heat is used to heat the water at a specific temperature. This steam water rushes and heats to the turbine then the steam turbine rotate and produce mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is supplied to the generator and the generator generates electricity. It is noted that there is a problem with it because the sun always moving. Whenever the sun goes east to west then the tempered glass does not move along with the sun. For this reason, such glass is placed depending on the sun’s direction. PV cell working process The PV cell working process is simple but PV cell construction is difficult and costly. Indeed photovoltaic cell (PV cell) consists of one or two layers of semiconductor materials, especially silicon materials. This PV unit consists of a special cell that produces electricity by converting sunlight into heat. Whenever the sunlight shines over the cells then an electric field is produced. It is noted that the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Construction and working of solar thermal power plant The construction and working of solar thermal power plant is almost the same as those of coal thermal power plant. The working process is a bit different from what we have referred to above. However, we will discuss here the construction of a solar thermal power plant. We know all thermal power stations have a bunch of equipment for any specific operation. Many crucial components are installed in solar thermal power stations but we are referring to some of them. - Flat plate solar collector - Hot water tank - Heat exchanger - Steam turbine - Alternator or generator - Circulating pump Flat plate solar collector The flat plate solar collector is a solar thermal collector that has a flat plate absorber. It is the most common type of solar thermal collector that is used worldwide. A flat plate solar collector is typically made up of two sheets of metal, one being the absorber and the other being the reflector. The absorber has a glass layer or plastic on it, which prevents sunlight from being absorbed by the metal. The reflector is usually made of polished aluminum, which reflects light back onto the absorber to increase its efficiency. For this reason, it is used with a photovoltaic system to generate electricity and provide hot water simultaneously. Hot water tank The hot water tank is used to store hot water and it is used in the solar thermal power plant. It has a large storage capacity and can provide enough hot water. It is usually made of steel or copper and has a set of pipes attached to it. Whenever cold water travels through this pipe the cold water then heats up and becomes hot water and produces steam. This steam rushes to the steam turbine and the turbine starts rotating. An alternator also rotates with the turbine. It is because the turbine and alternator both are coupled. The steam turbine gives mechanical energy and the alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and we get output electrical energy. The heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer heat from one stage to another. All thermal power plant requires a heat exchanger which is a very crucial device to transfer heat from one stage to another. Basically, heat exchangers transfer thermal energy but sometimes heat exchangers may fail due to some common reasons, such as air filter blocking, dirtiness, and others. Basically, it is located near the combustion chamber. The steam turbine is the common device for the thermal power plant. The turbine is used for all power plants except the diesel power plant. It is because the diesel power plant working principle is different than some other power stations. Indeed any type of steam turbine can be used in the solar thermal plant based on the generation capacity. The solar thermal plant is also called a solar steam power plant because steam is the injected fuel to generate mechanical energy from the turbine. A condenser is a device that is used in the solar thermal power system to condense steam. Steam heats to the turbine to rotate and some exhausted steam comes to the condenser. The condenser condenses the regenerative steam into liquid and sends it to the heat exchanger again to be steam to use again. This process goes on until stop solar thermal power production. Alternator or generator The alternator is an AC generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An alternator or AC generator is an indispensable machine for all power plants. The alternator is used in the solar thermal power station to generate electricity. In this case, a steam turbine gives mechanical energy by converting steam energy and an alternator takes this mechanical energy and generates electricity through a special process. A circulating pump is an important device for the steam power plant. It delivers cold water through the condenser from a freshwater source that is exhausted from the turbine. The circulating pump is mainly located in the wet pits. Indeed it transfers cooling water to the condenser. In this case, steam waste can be reduced and steam can be used again for the turbine. We have been told that the solar thermal power generation process is almost the same as coal power plants but they have a bit different. The solar thermal power plant cannot be built at any location. Where we get sufficient sunlight within a day choose such a location. It is because sunlight is the main thing to generate electricity. However, there are some crucial factors that you should know Location is a crucial factor for all power plants. If it becomes a coal-fired power plant then you must decide on that coal handling arrangement, rail line, water transplant, etc. but solar thermal power plants don’t require rail and coal handling arrangement plant. But a large amount of area is required to construct this power station compare to the coal thermal power station. It is true that how much power generation you are thinking about, how much radiation glass you want to be placed, and others. Your space will depend on such requirements. You must remember that choose a location where there is no big tree, no shadow, and a sunny area. So, your plant gets sunlight during the day. The concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) plant requires a large space. Because you need a large number of solar mirror installations. For example, if your parabolic solar thermal electric energy generation becomes 50 MW then you need 200 hectares of flat land which corresponds to the size of 280 football pitches. If you have a 100 MW generation capacity then you have to enlarge the place. So, the solar thermal power station area depends on you and your generation capacity. Natural phenomenon means storms and earthquakes that have a direct impact on the energy system cost. For this reason, design a solar thermal power plant and decide on such places where there is no chance for such impact. It is because solar plant is very costly than other power plants. Some other decisive location factors are favorable financing and low investment risk conditions for investors. What are the types of solar thermal power plant? Electricity can be generated in two ways. First of all solar power plants. In this case, a large number of the solar panel is installed in a place where sunlight is available during the day. How many solar panels you need to install it depending on how much power you want to generate. In this case, you need many PV panels, batteries, and inverters to get output AC power. If sunlight shines over the PV panel then the electric field is produced and we get DC electricity. This DC power is converted into AC with help of an inverter. This is a simple process for the solar power plant. On the other hand, solar thermal power stations. The solar thermal power station working process is the same as the coal power plant that we have referred to above. It is noted that a solar thermal power plant does not require a battery and inverter. It generates AC energy and it can be stepped up by using a step up transformer. There are three main types of the solar thermal power plants, such as - Solar tower power plant - Parabolic trough power plants - Linear fresnel reflector power plant On the other hand solar thermal power plant types can be divided into three, such as - low temperature solar thermal power plant - medium temperature solar thermal power plant - high temperature solar thermal power plant Solar thermal power plant efficiency The solar thermal power plant is a popular option for generating electrical energy. The solar thermal power plant is more efficient than photovoltaic panels and solar steam power plants can also generate electricity even when the sun is not shining. Solar thermal power plants use mirrors to focus sunlight in a fluid that heats up and produces steam to turn a turbine. The fluid must be kept at high pressure for the heat to be retained, but this also increases the efficiency of the plant. Basically, a single solar dish produces as much as 25KW of electricity with a conversion efficiency of 31.25% whereas a solar parabolic trough plant is built with 20% efficiency. Solar thermal power efficiency depends on some factors, such as field efficiency, steam cycle efficiency, collector efficiency, etc. collector efficiency depends on the sunlight and temperature absorbed in the tube that reaches up to 75% and field losses of less than 10%. However, the overall consideration of the solar thermal electric power plant’s annual efficiency is about 15% and steam cycle efficiency is about 35%. So steam turbine power plant efficiency is 35% and solar thermal efficiency of over 20% is possible. How to calculate the efficiency of solar panel? Efficiency is obtained if we divide the output power by the input power and multiply by 100 then we get efficiency (output/input * 100). We know that efficiency means the output power of a plant or device. Efficiency is a crucial thing for all sectors and all devices. If toy would like to calculate efficiency of solar panel then you can follow simple rules and see how to calculate solar panel efficiency. We have shown solar panel efficiency calculation by a simple formula. Solar panel is costly, that’s why you should know solar PV efficiency calculation before you buy. You must know how many solar panels you need for your installation. If you know the efficiency calculation then you can easily decide how many solar panels you need to install for your specific load. It is noted that you may follow the best direction to install solar panel. The thermal solar farm or solar thermal power plant is used to generate bulk electricity. In this case, many glass-type solar panels are used to concentrate heat in a place to heat the water and produce steam to run the steam turbine. However, we have shown the construction and working of solar thermal power plant that may give you a better idea of the solar thermal power station. We hope this information may give you better knowledge and stay with openread to get innovative things.

The boulder that's baffling the internet: Huge rock in Saudi Arabia looks like it was cut in two with a laser beam (so was it aliens?) - The Al Naslaa rock formation sits in Saudi Arabia's Tayma oasis, an eight-hour drive from the capital of Riyadh - Its odd split has been debated online, with theories about aliens and hi-tech ancient civilisations in circulation - Geologist Cherry Lewis says the split could be man-made, or it might be caused by weathering and erosion It's a question that's been thrown up by a mysterious gigantic rock there - that looks like it's been cut in half by a laser beam. One geologist says that the split could have been caused by ‘freeze thaw’ weathering, but others say the split is too precise and smooth to have natural causes. The Al Naslaa rock formation, pictured, has become a popular tourist attraction thanks to its unusual split The baffling sandstone boulder - the Al Naslaa rock formation - sits in Saudi Arabia's arid Tayma oasis and has, not surprisingly, become a popular photo opportunity, along with being a hot topic of debate on the internet. It is approximately 30ft (9m) tall and 25ft (7.6m) wide, and it has been embellished with a petroglyph - a rock carving made using a chisel and a hammerstone - of what appears to be a man and a horse. However, it was the rock formation's defining feature - its split - that has sparked fierce debate. On Reddit, one user, 'El_Hombre_Siniestro', said: 'I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.' 'Definitely aliens', agreed another, named Mrkim420. One user speculated that the divide was created when an alien messed 'with a super laser pointer on some random planet their species found and accidentally cut a rock in half'. A second theory suggests ancient civilisations were more advanced than previously thought. One YouTube video speculates that the formation is evidence of early 'high technology'. In the same vein, user Ricopantalones wrote in the online forum: 'Why do we attribute aliens? There are mountains of evidence that state ancient technology was at a level significantly advanced from where we think it was. We are not on the first upward curve of technology in society. We are more likely on the second.' Another compared the formation to the pyramids of ancient Egypt, which were constructed some 4,500 years ago. User NicholasPileggi claimed the split was carved in 'the same way they cut the blocks for the pyramids - a rope and sand'. User Borg2 theorised that the slit was crafted by someone with 'a saw and lots of patience'. A few Star Wars references were also thrown into the mix, with one Reddit user wondering whether the rock was chopped in two by 'someone testing a lightsaber'. Bringing these theories back down to earth, geologist Cherry Lewis tells MailOnline Travel the split may simply be the work of Mother Nature. Geologist Cherry Lewis says the smooth front surface of the rock formation may have been created by a 'sandblasting effect' Lewis, who is an honorary research fellow at the University of Bristol, describes the unusual formation as a 'remarkable sight'. She says: 'It [the split] could have formed due to a process called "freeze-thaw" weathering, which occurs when water gets into a small crack in the rock. As temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands which causes the crack to widen and lengthen. 'As the ice melts, water makes its way deeper and deeper into the crack. The process repeats itself over thousands, or even millions, of years until the rock eventually splits. This process, coupled with wind erosion - which, in a desert environment, is like sandblasting - could also explain why the boulder is standing on its own like that.' Lewis says the 'sandblasting effect could also have created the smooth front surface if that faces the prevailing wind'. While weathering and erosion could be to blame, Lewis agrees there may be truth to the theory the rock was painstakingly sliced by humans. She says: 'Given that past civilisations created Stone Henge and the sculptures on Easter Island with the most basic of tools, it doesn't seem out of the question that it could be man-made.' Her verdict? 'On first appearance, the crack looks man-made, as does the very smooth front surface, but I see a photo that shows a parallel crack on the back, so it is possibly natural.' Geologist and geophysicist Professor Tim Reston of the University of Birmingham also shared his thoughts on the strange formation. He tells MailOnline Travel the split is 'probably a joint, which is a natural fracture in the rock typically caused by pressure release and expansion, formed when the rock layer was more continuous, and now left exposed by erosion of the surroundings'. Reston adds: 'If [it is] a joint it might have beautiful "plumose" structures on both sides of the crack - they look like feathers - unless these have been widened by wind erosion.' The rock formation is an eight-hour drive from Riyadh, and it can be accessed by car. Archaeological digs in the area have uncovered flint that dates back to the 4th millennium BCE. Rich in history, Tayma was the residence of the Babylonian king Nabonidus in the mid-6th century BCE. The oasis, which featured on the trade route from modern-day Medina to al-Jawf, subsequently became a popular spot for traders. The stretch of desert was mapped by Charles M Doughty in 1877 - he described his visit to the Tayma oasis in his 1888 book Travels In Arabia Deserta. The area later attracted French explorer Charles Huber, who visited the site in 1883.

The word symbol, which has its origin in the Greek symbol, is used to designate all kinds of signs (sign, emblem, image), used to represent something, such as, for example, a religious, scientific or cultural concept. Delta Symbol (difference sign ) ∆ is a mathematical sign which, like the capital letter Sigma (sum sign), was derived from the Greek alphabet. For example, if you have to enter a deviation more frequently in a table, you can use the abbreviations Diff. or dev. just put a delta sign. Symbols are very important in our everyday communication process. Some are known universally and others only in restricted environments. But every symbol, without exception, has the function of representing something to someone. It is believed that some symbols do more than convey an identity, but are also a source of power transmission. As an example of a strong symbol that crossed millennia and is, until today, known worldwide is the cross, which represents Christianity. In this article we will learn more about a sign that dates back to Ancient Greece and is still used today in many organizations: the Delta symbol. The origin of the Delta as a symbol is located in Ancient Greece and is loaded with meanings. Fourth letter of the Greek Alphabet, which corresponds to us to the letter D, the Delta, in its capital form (Δ), resembles an equilateral triangle. The triangle’s own symbolism as a geometric figure, by itself, already presents a wealth of meanings. In an esoteric interpretation, with its three sides joined, the triangle represents both the beginning, middle and end, as well as body, mind and spirit. Even for the ancient Greeks, the Delta symbol represents the elements of nature: Water, Earth, Fire and Air, indicating the totality of the universe. We can thus say that the meaning of Delta is “the sum of all things”. It can also represent the end of a journey, the completion of a mission. You can use the large delta character in Word, for example, for Greek writing, as a symbol for a difference, or as a Laplace operator. In this practical tip, we will show you different ways of inserting the large delta symbol in Microsoft Word and other office applications. How to write the delta symbol in Word In Microsoft Word you can write the delta symbol in different ways, namely via the Greek alphabet, the symbol selection and the formula editor. There are six ways to insert the delta character in Word: - Hold down [Alt] and enter on the number pad. This tip also works in many office applications and fonts. - Simply copy the delta symbol from this practical tip and paste it into Word or Open Office. This also works in Notepad, Wordpad and other office applications: ∆ - Write “2206” and then press the key combination [Alt] + [c] to get the delta symbol. This tip is exclusive to MS Word. - Do as in the illustration: Navigate to »Symbols« via »Insert« and click on the field «Symbol». Here either the delta symbol is already displayed (a), or you look for it under “further symbols …” (b). - The following also works in DOCX files: Navigate to »Symbols« via »Insert« and click on «Formula». Now enter “\ inc” or select the ∆ symbol from the second line in the “Drafts” area under “Symbols”. Next to it is the Nabla operator. - Alternatively, call up the Windows character table and enter “Delta” in the search field. Delta sign over font You can easily create the delta under Windows by changing the font. To do this, proceed as follows: - Opens the writing or table program of your choice. - Insert a capital D in the place where you want to insert the delta sign. - Marks the D and selects the font symbol . - Now your D should have been converted to a difference sign. - If you write or convert a small d using the Smybol font, you get the lowercase letter Delta (δ). Insert delta symbol Δ δ and difference sign ∆ in Office You can find special characters such as the entire Greek alphabet and mathematical operators in the various office programs such as Microsoft Word, LibreOffice or OpenOffice under the Special Characters menu. To insert the different “deltas” in a document, you can also proceed as follows: - Click on the Insert tab in your Office program and then on the Special characters menu item. - In the following special character table you will find the different delta characters at the following location: - Select the respective delta and press the Insert button to insert the symbol in your document or table. description | symbol | Hexadecimal | Decimal | Delta (large) | Δ | U + 394 | 916 | Delta (small) | δ | U + 3B4 | 948 | differential characters | Δ | U + 2206 | 8710 | DELTA IN FREEMASONRY It is certainly in Freemasonry, a secret society, for philosophical and philanthropic purposes, that Delta’s symbolism finds one of the strongest and most significant examples: the All-Seeing Eye. Also called the Luminous Delta, in a Masonic Temple this symbol is composed of a triangle (Delta) that has an “eye” inside, representing, in that environment, divine wisdom. DELTA AND THE ALL-SEEING EYE In Freemasonry, the All-Seeing Eye is also known as the All-seeing Eye and is behind the throne of the Venerable Master, inserted within an equilateral triangle. It must be positioned at a time when it is not covered by the Master when he is standing. In a Masonic Temple, all members, when crossing the Equator at the Masonic Temple, must bow to the All-Seeing Eye. This represents, for Freemasons, spiritual knowledge, growth and mental strength. It also indicates the three principles of Freemasonry: Faith, Hope and Charity. DELTA symbol AND THE STAR OF DAVID Delta’s symbology can also be found in one of the most powerful and well-known Jewish signs: the Star of David. It consists of the union of two overlapping triangles – one with the base up and the other with the base down. In Judaism, the Star of David, also known as “Shield of David”, indicates the junction of opposites. It can mean protection, union of feminine and masculine, as well as connection between heaven and earth. This symbol was already used in 5,000 years BC DELTA Symbol TATTOO But it is not only in religious associations that we find the Delta symbol. It is also quite popular among tattoo enthusiasts. For them, tattooing a Delta (triangle) on the skin expresses a desire for change, especially if one side is not completely closed. Indicates that the person is open to all possibilities that may arise ahead. The choice of a Delta tattoo also attracts harmony, creativity and integration. The Greek language has a historical record that originated more than 3400 years ago. It is a language developed in Greek territory, which belongs to the Indo-European branch, and which became the favorite writing system for much of the history of this nation. Its alphabet, created towards the ninth century BC, consists of 24 letters and the most complete of the time is presumed; its use continues to this day, mainly as mathematical, physical, computer and even hierarchical signs. The fourth in the established order of these signs is “Delta”, represented as Δ, in uppercase, and δ, in lowercase, with a value of 4 within the Greek numbering system. Like the other Greek letters, within the nomenclature of applied sciences and mathematics, it is vitally important; It is generally used to refer to changes in the value of a variable, being massive or reduced depending on whether it is expressed in its upper or lower case form, the discriminators of a polynomial and the Laplacians. However, today this symbol is also known for being one of the names with which a series of secret projects directed by the CIA were baptized, as is the MKDELTA. Such work of the Central Intelligence Agency was aimed at knowledge of the effects of certain chemical substances in the body, becoming the successor of the well-known MKULTRA project. In addition, it is the name of an American special operations unit, called 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D), better known as Delta Force read more about symbols

Fossil graveyards found in rock layers around the world are evidence of the global Flood. If the Genesis Flood, as described in Genesis 7 and 8, really occurred, what evidence would we expect to find? The first article in this series overviewed the six main geologic evidences that testify to the Genesis Flood, while the second article discussed evidence number one (see the list below). Now let’s take a closer look at evidence number two. After noting in Genesis 7 that all the high hills and the mountains were covered by water and all air-breathing life on the land was swept away and perished, it should be obvious what evidence we would expect to find. Wouldn’t we expect to find rock layers all over the earth filled with billions of dead animals and plants that were buried rapidly and fossilized in sand, mud, and lime? Of course, and that’s exactly what we find. Furthermore, even though the catastrophic geologic activity of the Flood would have waned in the immediate post-Flood period, ongoing mini-catastrophes would still have produced localized fossil deposits. Countless billions of plant and animal fossils are found in extensive “graveyards” where they had to be buried rapidly on a massive scale. Countless billions of plant and animal fossils are found in extensive “graveyards” where they had to be buried rapidly on a massive scale. Often the fine details of the creatures are exquisitely preserved. For example, billions of straight-shelled, chambered nautiloids (figure 2) are found fossilized with other marine creatures in a 7 foot (2 m) thick layer within the Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon (figure 1).1 This fossil graveyard stretches for 180 miles (290 km) across northern Arizona and into southern Nevada, covering an area of at least 10,500 square miles (30,000 km2). These squid-like fossils are all different sizes, from small, young nautiloids to their bigger, older relatives. To form such a vast fossil graveyard required 24 cubic miles (100 km3) of lime sand and silt, flowing in a thick, soup-like slurry at more than 16 feet (5 m) per second (more than 11 mph [18 km/h]) to catastrophically overwhelm and bury this huge, living population of nautiloids. Hundreds of thousands of marine creatures were buried with amphibians, spiders, scorpions, millipedes, insects, and reptiles in a fossil graveyard at Montceau-les-Mines, France.2 More than 100,000 fossil specimens, representing more than 400 species, have been recovered from a shale layer associated with coal beds in the Mazon Creek area near Chicago.3 This spectacular fossil graveyard includes ferns, insects, scorpions, and tetrapods buried with jellyfish, mollusks, crustaceans, and fish, often with soft parts exquisitely preserved. At Florissant, Colorado, a wide variety of insects, freshwater mollusks, fish, birds, and several hundred plant species (including nuts and blossoms) are buried together.4 Bees and birds have to be buried rapidly in order to be so well preserved. Alligator, fish (including sunfish, deep sea bass, chubs, pickerel, herring, and garpike 3–7 feet [1–2 m] long), birds, turtles, mammals, mollusks, crustaceans, many varieties of insects, and palm leaves (7–9 feet [2–2.5 m] long) were buried together in the vast Green River Formation of Wyoming.5 Notice in many of these examples how marine and land-dwelling creatures are found buried together. How could this have happened unless the ocean waters rose and swept over the continents in a global, catastrophic Flood? At Fossil Bluff on the north coast of Australia’s island state of Tasmania (figure 3), many thousands of marine creatures (corals, bryozoans [lace corals], bivalves [clams], and gastropods [snails]) were buried together in a broken state, along with a toothed whale (figure 4) and a marsupial possum (figure 5).6 Whales and possums don’t live together, so only a watery catastrophe would have buried them together! In order for such large ammonites (figure 8) and other marine creatures to be buried in the chalk beds of Britain (figure 6), many trillions of microscopic marine creatures (figure 7) had to bury them catastrophically.7 These same beds also stretch right across Europe to the Middle East, as well as into the Midwest of the USA, forming a global-scale fossil graveyard. In addition, more than 7 trillion tons of vegetation are buried in the world’s coal beds found across every continent, including Antarctica. Such was the speed at which many creatures were buried and fossilized—under catastrophic flood conditions—that they were exquisitely preserved. Many fish were buried so rapidly, virtually alive, that even fine details of fins and eye sockets have been preserved (figure 9). Many trilobites (figure 10) have been so exquisitely preserved that even the compound lens systems in their eyes are still available for detailed study. Mawsonites spriggi, when discovered, was identified as a fossilized jellyfish (figure 11). It was found in a sandstone bed that covers more than 400 square miles (1,040 km2) of outback South Australia.8 Millions of such soft-bodied marine creatures are exquisitely preserved in this sandstone bed. Consider what happens to soft-bodied creatures like jellyfish when washed up on a beach today. Because they consist only of soft “jelly,” they melt in the sun and are also destroyed by waves crashing onto the beach. Based on this reality, the discoverer of these exquisitely preserved soft-bodied marine creatures concluded that all of them had to be buried in less than a day! Some fish were buried alive and fossilized so quickly in the geologic record that they were “caught in the act” of eating their last meal (figure 12). Then there is the classic example of a female marine reptile, an ichthyosaur, about 6 feet (2 m) long, found fossilized at the moment of giving birth to her baby (figure 13)! One minute this huge creature was giving birth, then seconds later, without time to escape, mother and baby were buried and “snap frozen” in a catastrophic “avalanche” of lime mud. These are but a few examples of the many hundreds of fossil graveyards found all over the globe that are now well-documented in the geological literature.9 The countless billions and billions of fossils in these graveyards, in many cases exquisitely preserved, testify to the rapid burial of once-living plants and animals on a global scale in a watery cataclysm and its immediate aftermath. Often these fossil graveyards consist of mixtures of marine and land-dwelling creatures, indicating that the waters of this global cataclysm swept over both the oceans and the continents. When we again read the biblical account of the Flood and ask ourselves what evidence we should expect, the answer is obvious—billions of dead plants and animals buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the world. And that’s exactly what we find. The global, cataclysmic Genesis Flood and its aftermath was an actual event in history, just as God tells us in His record of earth’s history. The next article in this special geology series will examine in more detail the geologic evidence of rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas, caused by the Flood waters described in Genesis 7–8.

More About Us10 Horrible Realities Of Being A Woman Throughout History Men have ruled since the earliest societies. In every stage of human history, women have been in margins, struggling through a second-class life. It wasn’t just that women couldn’t vote or that they didn’t get equal pay. Women’s lives were like a horror story. Throughout our history, everyday life was filled with experiences that made being a woman a waking nightmare. 10Newborn Girls Were Regularly Left To Die In ancient Athens, it was very common for a couple to take a newborn baby girl out in the wilderness and leave it to die—an act they called “exposing” the baby. “Everybody raises a son even if he is a poor,” one Greek writer wrote, “but exposes a daughter even if he is rich.” In Rome, this was just as common, especially in poor families. We have records of a lower-class Roman writing to his wife about her pregnancy. “A daughter is too burdensome, and we just don’t have the money,” he told her. “If you should bear a girl, we’ll have to kill her.” Even in Egypt, which gave women comparatively equal rights, the poor often left kids to die. “If you have the baby before I return,” one letter shows an Egyptian man writing his wife, “if it is a boy, let it live; if it is a girl, expose it.” 9Men Wouldn’t Touch Menstruating Women The Roman philosopher Pliny The Elder wrote, “On the approach of a woman in this state, milk will become sour.” He figured menstruating women could kill everything they looked at, even saying, “A swarm of bees, if looked upon by her, will die immediately.” In Egypt, the women spent their menstrual cycles isolated in a special building men couldn’t enter—and they weren’t only ones to do it. The Israelites wouldn’t even touch a woman during her period—or, for that matter, anything she touched. “Everything on which she sits,” they wrote, “shall be unclean.” And in Hawaii, men who entered the hut for menstruating women risked the death penalty. The natives of Papua New Guinea took it the farthest. If a man touched a menstruating women, they believed, it would “kill his blood so that it turns black, dull his wits, and lead to a slow death.” 8Losing Your Virginity Was A Death Sentence In Athens, if a man found out that his unmarried daughter had slept with a man, he could legally sell her into slavery. The Samoans made sure that their wives were virgins—and that everyone knew. During a Samoan wedding, the chief of the tribe would manually rupture the bride’s hymen with his fingers in front of a crowd to prove that she was pure. In Rome, if a priestess of the goddess Vesta lost her virginity before the age of 30, she was buried alive. And in ancient Israel, it didn’t even matter if you were a priestess. Any woman who lost her virginity before marriage could be stoned to death. 7Men Were Expected To Be Sexual Predators In Rome, slaves were expected to sexually active as part of their jobs. The only way you could get in trouble for sleeping with a slave was if she was owned by somebody else and you didn’t ask first. Even then, it wouldn’t considered rape—it just classified as property damage. Women with some jobs couldn’t file rape charges no matter what happened to them. It wasn’t just prostitutes that couldn’t accuse anyone of rape—waitresses and actresses, too, were treated as willing participants of any sex a man forced upon them. In one case, an actress gang-raped by several men was denied permission to press charges. The men who assaulted her, it was ruled, had simple “acted in accordance with a well-established tradition at a staged event.” In the middle ages, Saint Augustine was considered progressive for suggesting that raped women didn’t need to kill themselves. Even he, though, suggested that some women enjoyed it. 6Brides Were Often Kidnapped In some parts of China, people were kidnapping brides until the 1940s. In Japan, the last reported case of bride kidnapping happened in 1959. Ireland had a widespread problem with bride stealing in the 1800s. And even the Bible relates stories of men slaughtering whole villages and taking the virgin women as wives. Rome wouldn’t even exist without kidnapped brides. The legends of the nation start with men kidnapping the Sabine women. In the story, Romulus tells the women they she be happy to be kidnapped, because they were lucky enough to “live in honorable wedlock.” 5Women Were Forced To Kill Their Babies Murdering frail babies wasn’t just something that happened in Sparta. In almost every country, when a woman gave birth to a deformed child, she was expected to kill it. In Rome, it was the law. “A dreadfully deformed child,” Roman law mandated, “shall be quickly killed.” If a Roman child was born with a disability, the mother had two choices. She could either suffocate it or, more often, she could abandon it. Some places were horrible for this. On the shore of Israel, archaeologists found the remains of 100 dead babies in the city’s sewers. It happened a lot. We don’t know the exact number of babies that were left to die, but it’s believed that one out of every four Roman babies didn’t make it through the first year of life. 4Women Were Barely Allowed To Talk In ancient Greece and Rome, women were forbidden from leaving the home without a male escort. When company came over, they weren’t allowed to speak or to sit down for dinner—they had to retire to their rooms, out of sight, lest the presence of a woman bother the men. In Denmark, unruly women who bickered or who openly expressed their anger could end up locked up in a device called a shrew’s fiddle. This was a wooden trap shaped like a violin that bound her hands and her face. The woman would be paraded down the streets, publicly shamed for having openly shown anger. The English were even worse. They put quarrelsome women in the scold’s bridle, a metal mask with sharp teeth that had a bell attached—to make sure everyone came out and mocked the woman who dared complain. 3Adulterers Were Tortured If a married woman dared to sleep with another man, it was over. A Roman man, under certain circumstance, would have the right to kill his wife if he caught her in bed with another man. Even the Puritans who colonized America took the biblical approach and legally condoned murdering adulterers. Again, though, it was the medieval men who did the worst things. They weren’t content to just kill their wives—they wanted them to suffer. In medieval times, they had a device called a breast ripper that they used on women who had affairs—which does exactly what it says. It’s a horrible torture—and it wasn’t even limited to adultery. A woman could be sentenced to the ripper just for having a miscarriage. 2Women Were Killed With Their Husbands Until the 19th century, a woman in India who lost her husband was expected to climb onto his funeral pyre and burn herself to death along with him. Sometimes, during war, women would be expected to do this even before their husbands died. If a siege was going poorly, all the women of the village would burn themselves alive and take their children with them. The husbands would just watch as their families burned. Then, in the morning, they would smear their wives’ ashes on their faces and go to war. These women killed themselves just to give their husbands a little extra motivation. 1Women Have Gone Through This Since The Beginning Of Humanity Even before recorded history, the very earliest marriages were extremely one-sided. Archaeologists looking a prehistoric remains in Africa found the men all stayed in one place their whole lives—but every one of the women was born somewhere else. That means that even cavemen had one-sided relationships, making their new wives move to their homes when they started a family. More importantly, it makes it highly likely that these women didn’t come consensually. Most likely, they were probably kidnapped from their families in other tribes and dragged to the beds of their captors.

Mali’s political future remains uncertain after a mutiny by the country’s soldiers and the subsequent overthrow of the government of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita last August. The coup was occasioned by a popular protest across the country demanding the resignation of Keita, who came into office in 2013. Among other grievances that led to the protest was the cancellation of 30 results in the legislative elections in mid-April, lack of jobs, authoritarianism, poor governance and so on. As expected, the Malian soldiers took advantage of the people’s protest to depose the president and hold themselves up as the new leaders of the French-speaking West African country. Various interest groups have sort to shape the new direction of Mali’s political future. Regional block ECOWAS initially took a firmer stand by imposing economic sanctions on Mali. The sanctions were later eased as they were having an effect on ordinary Malians amidst COVID-19. ECOWAS has also held several meetings with interest groups in order to bring the country back to a democratic path. One of the recent meetings was in Ghana where the country’s new military leaders were in attendance. The African Union (AU) has also suspended Mali from its fold until the military junta hands over to a civilian government. The UN also followed suit with a condemnation of the power grab in Mali. These moves by the regional, continental and global bodies are essential in returning Mali to a democracy. However, one interest group conspicuously missing in the discussion on Mali’s new political direction is the Malians in the diaspora. Since the end of the Cold War, diaspora groups and homeland associations have been seen as both development agents and security actors. In other words, they are considered as actors in promoting social reconstruction and conflict resolution. Malians in the diaspora contribute diversely to the development of their homeland and therefore any mediation that seeks to chart a new political path must involve them. To provide some context, since the Malian revolution of 1991, the Malian diaspora emerged as an economic, social and even political force by serving on some institutions of the Republic. Just like any diaspora community, Malians continue to hold emotional and material ties to their country of birth and are deeply concerned about events at home. In periods of internal chaos like the recent coup, the members of the Malian diaspora have supported left-behind families and their communities concerning food, health and education. On its own initiatives, the diaspora has also invested in infrastructure in areas such as water supply, rural roads, schools, agric projects, health centers, among others. Aside from these interventions, Malians in the diaspora send cash remittance back home which is mostly used to pay school fees, hospital bills and invest in other small and medium-sized businesses. Malians in the diaspora have a wide range of expertise that can be relied upon to solve the current political crisis. However, if no avenue is created for them to also participate in the political process, the solution to the problem may not be sustainable. Aside from their expertise, the Malian diaspora also has some leverage on their host government they can explore to assist in the rebuilding of their country. Sidelining them in the rebuilding phase may not bode well in the future as they may adopt an indifferent attitude towards the development of Mali. The contributions of Malians residing outside the republic is enormous and cannot be downplayed. To resolve the Mali political crisis, it is important the Malian diaspora is brought to the table. Many of them live in developed democracies, therefore, appreciate good governance and the urgent need for a civilian government.

Avocados contain a wide range of nutrients. Health benefits of avocado consumption may include improving digestion, lowering the risk of depression, and preventing bone loss. Also known as an alligator pear or butter fruit, avocados are a type of berry. They grow in warm climates. Avocados provide a substantial amount of monounsaturated fatty acids and are Below, we take an in-depth look at the nutritional makeup of avocados, 11 ways that they may benefit our health, and some risks to consider. Avocados contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person Roughly half an avocado, or 100 grams (g), Fat is essential for every single cell in the body. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and even A diet that contains a variety of fruits and vegetables can provide numerous Here are 11 reasons why avocados can contribute to a healthy diet: 1. Healthy for the heart In every 100 g of avocado, there are 2. Great for vision The monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados also support the absorption of other beneficial fat-soluble antioxidants, such as beta carotene. As a result, adding avocados to the diet may help reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. 3. May help prevent osteoporosis Half an avocado provides approximately This nutrient is often overlooked but is essential for bone health. Taking in enough vitamin K can support bone health by increasing calcium absorption and reducing the urinary excretion of calcium. 4. Components may prevent cancer Studies have not yet assessed a direct link between avocado consumption and a reduction in cancer risk. However, avocados do contain compounds that may help prevent the onset of some cancers. 5. Supporting fetal health Folate is important for a healthy pregnancy. Adequate intake reduces the risk of miscarriage and neural tube abnormalities. A person should consume at least Avocados also contain fatty acids that 6. Reducing depression risk Folate helps prevent the buildup of homocysteine, a substance that can impair circulation and delivery of nutrients to the brain. 7. Improving digestion 8. Natural detoxification Adequate fiber promotes regular bowel movements, which are crucial for the excretion of toxins through the bile and stool. 9. Osteoarthritis relief Avocados, soy, and some other plant foods contain saponins. These substances may have a positive effect on knee and hip osteoarthritis symptoms. However, researchers have not yet confirmed the long-term effects of saponins in people with osteoarthritis. 10. Antimicrobial action Avocados and avocado oil contain substances that have antimicrobial properties. Research shows that avocado seed extracts can help defend the body against both Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus infections, for example. 11. Protection from chronic disease A person can incorporate avocados into their diet in a variety of ways. Soft avocados, for example, make delicious guacamole, while firmer avocados are great for slicing and adding to a salad or sandwich. There is little risk in eating avocados in moderation.

We're going to do some work with tkinter. We'll produce a form with textboxes, labels and a button that you can click. From now on, we'll assume you've upgraded to a version of Python 3 or greater. (Python 2 will be phased out, eventually.) Start a new project and add a Python file. At the top of the blank file, import tkinter: import tkinter as tk After tkinter we have as tk. This is so that we don't have to keep typing tkinter every time we want a form object. We can just use the tk variable. We still need to set up a Tk object, though. So add this line below the one you have: form = tk.Tk() This sets up a variable that we've called form. It means you can refer to the form object with just the word form. Type the word form on the next line. Now type a dot. You should see a popup box appear with things you can do with your new form object: Now type a letter t. The list should show you an option for title: Double click title to add it to your code. Now type a pair of round brackets. In between the round brackets of title type "My First Form" (with the quote marks, either single or double). In order for your form to stay on screen and not disappear, you need to add the mainloop function. Add this line: Your code should look like this: You can run your program now. What you should see is a blank form with your title at the top. Here's what it looks like in Windows 10: If you're coding on a different operating system, your form will look different to the one above. If you're using Linux and you get an error that says "ImportError: No named _tkinter, please install the python3-tk package" then open up a terminal window. Type (or copy and paste) the following: sudo apt-get install python3-tk You may need to close down PyCharm and try again. Close your form down. (You can click the feather icon and select close from the menu that appears. Or just click the X symbol in the title bar.) Now let's add a label to the form. Just before your mainloop line, add the following: myLabel = tk.Label(form, text="This is a Label") The first item between the round brackets of Label is form. This should be the variable name that holds your form object. We called ours form, but it doesn't have to be called form. That's just a variable name we came up with. After a comma, you have a wide range of choices you can use with the Label object. One of these is called text. (You'll see more soon.) After an equals sign and no spaces, type whatever text you want on your label. Finally, add this line: Your code should look like this: The pack at the end of the myLabel variable is something called a layout manager. There are two others to choose from, grid and place. The pack layout simply packs objects onto your form wherever there is space. It's not used for precision placement of form controls, but used for a nice, quick an easy solution. We'll use the grid layout in a later tutorial. If you like, you can add the pack after label: myLabel = tk.Label(form, text="This is a Label").pack() But it looks a lot less confusing on a separate line. Run your program. Your form will look rather small: Your form might be so small on Windows and Linux that you have to drag the edges to increase the size. The reason it's so small is that by default, a label will be just big enough to hold its text. You can add a height and width between the round brackets of Label: myLabel = tk.Label(form, text="This is a Label", width=25, height=5) Make a note of where all the commas are in the above code. There's one after the text and one before height. But you just set numbers for the width and height parameters. So that you can see your label, you can add a background colour with the bg parameters: myLabel = tk.Label(form, text="This is a Label", width=25, height=5, bg="red") Before you try it out your code should look like this: Run your form again: You may need to drag the edges to see the same as ours. Now add another label: myLabelTwo = tk.Label(form, text="This is also a Label", bg="blue") Make sure you add myLabelTwo.pack() just before the mainloop line. Here's what your code should look like: Run your form to see this: The black text on a blue background is hard to see. To remedy that, there's an fg parameter, short for foreground. Change your second label line to this: myLabelTwo = tk.Label(form, text="This is also a Label", bg="blue", fg="white") Run your program again and the second label should be more readable: You can change the font type as well: font="font_type, font_size, bold, italic" Try it out. Add a font parameter after the fg one: tk.Label(form, text="This is also a Label", bg="blue", fg="white", font="Arial 14 bold italic") Notice that your font information goes between quote marks and that you don't need any commas before the first and last quotes. You can have more than one line on your labels (you can even have images, which we'll do in the database section). To add new lines, just use the newline characters (\n) in your text parameter. Like this: myLabelTwo = tk.Label(form, text="This is also a Label \n and has a second line") To position the text in your labels, you can use the anchor parameter. The default is center (American spelling). The others use compass points: The points you can use are (all in lowercase): n, e, s, w, ne, se, sw, nw. Try this on your first label: tk.Label(form, text="This is a Label", width=25, height=5, bg="red", anchor="w") Run your program and you should see the text aligned to the left. Try out the other compass points and see what they look like. For aligning multiple lines of text, you can add the justify parameter. The options to use after an equals sign are left, right, center (American spelling, and the default). Try this on your second label (it should be one long line): tk.Label(form, text="This is also a Label\nand has a second line", bg="blue", fg="white", font="Arial 10 bold italic", justify="right") Notice that we've closed up the space around the \n characters. In the next lesson, we'll design a text entry form in a grid layout.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says 100 children under the age of five die of malnutrition in Nigeria every hour. Nemat Hajeebhoy, UNICEF’s chief nutrition officer, said this on Thursday in Abuja at a meeting organised by the National Council on Nutrition (NCN). Hajeebhoy said if urgent action is not taken, another 15 million children are at risk of “wasting” – a term used to describe children who get emaciated as a result of malnutrition. “Every hour in Nigeria, almost a hundred children under the age of five die. So by the time we are done with this meeting, 300 children would have died in this country,” the nutrition officer said. “If a child is malnourished, they are 12 times more likely to die. We know that today without urgent action, there would have been this year and next year close to 15 million children who will suffer from what we call wasting (thin children). “This is an indicator that there is a crisis in the country and I would like to call it a nutrition emergency. There is a nutrition emergency in the country today. Nigeria is ranked number one in Africa and second in the world in the total of children malnourished. “We have some good news, we have seen stunting come down over the years but that rate of decline is very slow. Moreover, this slow rate of decline is costing our economy 15 percent GDP loss to Nigeria.” Also speaking, Abimbola Adesanmi, the senior special assistant to the president on nutrition, office of the vice-president, said the federal government has formulated policies to end hunger in the country. “The NCN as the highest decision-making body for Nutrition in the country, in line with SDG 2 goal of ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition, have ensured that national indicators are aligned with global targets through national policies, strategies, and guidelines,” Adesanmi said. “On the policy front, the National multi-sectoral plan of action for food and nutrition in Nigeria (2019-2023), National Policy on Food and Nutrition in Nigeria 2016-2025, and Agricultural Promotion Policy 2016-2020 among others have been developed by the government with technical and financial support from development partners and stakeholders in line with national development plans and the attainment of the SDGs.” On his part, Rasaq Oyeleke, head of nutrition in the ministry of agriculture, said Nigeria would only be able to have a healthy population if the country is able to provide good nutrients.

The Federal Government on Tuesday said the number of illiterate Nigerians is now at an estimated 31 percent. Data from the ministry of education revealed that as of September 2021, 38 percent of the estimated 200 million population, representing over 76 million adults, are non-literates. But Goodluck Opiah, minister of state for education, speaking at the ministerial briefing to mark the 2022 International Literacy Day, said the figure has dropped despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is heart-warming to note that the current statistics of 2022, based on estimations, captured the non-literate population at about 31 percent of the estimated total population. This is a significant reduction from the hitherto statistics of 38 percent in 2015,” he said. The minister said the government has recorded successes in its effort to improve literacy levels. According to him, some of them include guaranteed additional access to adult and non-formal education programmes in 377 centres across the 36 states and FCT, empowered graduands of basic literacy and vocational programmes with skills and income generating equipment in three major trades: fashion and design, home economics, (including beauty and cosmetology) and provided teaching and learning materials to all the 36 state agencies for adult and non-formal education among others. Opiah said the theme of the 2022 International Literacy Day; “Transforming literacy learning spaces; exploring opportunities and possibilities” was an opportunity to rethink the fundamental importance of literacy in building resilience and ensuring quality, equitable, and inclusive education for all. He assured of the government’s commitment to continually adopt existing and emerging transformation innovations in the literacy learning spaces, and create learner-centric learning spaces. “As we collectively forge ahead in the utilisation of digital modernisation as offered by emerging global technologies, Nigeria has adopted a holistic approach that involves all key stakeholders in meeting the learning needs of youths and adults of different profiles and in different environments,” he said. International Literacy Day is a day observed all over the world to reaffirm commitment to promoting education and literacy.

Private 5G networks are like your home Wi-Fi, except instead of a router, they use radios called cell sites, each with a range of a mile or more outdoors. Like a Wi-Fi router, a cell site must be tied to the internet through a physical cable, or wirelessly, through another cell site. One big difference is the software running the system. In a cellular system, all the traffic is tightly controlled and centrally organized, giving every connection enhanced speed and reliability. Traditionally, the software that runs these 5G networks was written by the companies selling their hardware, including giants like Nokia, Ericsson, and Huawei. But in February 2019, engineers at Facebook open-sourced Magma, software that anyone could use as the operating system, or core, of their own network. Another critical element of a cellular network is a spectrum, the range of radio frequencies participating devices must keep to. The carriers have, over the years, paid billions in government auctions for exclusive access to the wireless spectrum. But now there’s a slice that isn’t entirely under their control. The Federal Communications Commission recently opened up a patch of mid-band spectrum known as the Citizens Broadband Radio Service. Some of the CBRS band is available to anyone who wants to register for it, as long as they specify where and how they want to use it for their own network. The last time a chunk of spectrum was made this accessible by the U.S. government was in 2003, when more airwaves in the 5 gigahertz range were freed up for Wi-Fi. All in, a company or individual can now set up their own single-site 5G network for less than $5,000, says Boris Renski, chief executive and founder of FreedomFi, which sells a version of the open-source Magma software to customers such as Mr. Bangert’s WiConnect. In a December 2019 report, analysts at Deloitte predicted that by the end of 2020, more than 100 companies world-wide will have begun testing their own private 5G networks. That includes organizations such as Ford Motor Co., Corning Inc., BMW AG, BASF SE, China’s state-owned Shandong Energy Group, and the U.S. military, which by itself is pouring $600 million into five different projects. When do you think you’ll switch to a 5G phone, and what will you use it for? Join the conversation below. Even though companies can build their own private 5G networks, they can also pay wireless giants to do it for them, says Sowmyanarayan Sampath, president of global enterprise at Verizon Business. The advantages include network-building know-how, regular monitoring and repair, he adds. Plus, when companies hire a wireless giant, they can gain access to all the extra 5G spectrum that carrier has rights to. In March, The Wall Street Journal reported Verizon was in talks with Walmart to set up 5G networks to connect its stores. The Real Value of 5G For the most part we’re still waiting for applications for the kind of consumer 5G being rolled out by the world’s biggest carriers, but private 5G is already proving useful, says Kevin Westcott, head of the U.S. technology, media and telecommunications practice at Deloitte. The fast speeds and ability of mid-band 5G wireless signal to go through trees and other obstacles mean companies can use it for mundane but important tasks like connecting to machines without running cables to them. Other applications include, for example, connecting and tracking equipment such as forklifts and cranes in ports in China. Companies are adopting more robots and automation in factories and warehouses, and as these devices become more autonomous and reliant on artificial intelligence, there’s a need for ultrafast connections between these robots and the computers inside the same buildings, to help them make sense of their surroundings. Robots that rely on remote computers to process what they are seeing, and tell them how to react from one millisecond to the next, need low latency—the lag between when a signal is sent and when it arrives somewhere else in a network. The way 5G radios behave gives them lower latency and greater reliability than any other wireless option, says Rajeev Shah, chief executive, and co-founder of Celona. His Cupertino, Calif.-based startup is now piloting 5G and 4G LTE private networks with more than 30 different companies and schools. For many of the world’s largest multinationals, the goal of rolling out 5G is making their operations more automated and efficient, a process some call the fourth industrial revolution. In rural Wisconsin, Mr. Bangert’s goals are more modest. Every new 5G site Mr. Bangert can put up, for about $20,000 apiece, connects on average 25 more homes, he says. Grain silos are optimal places to put sites: They’re tall, they already have power, and most of the farmers who own them are begging him to bring faster internet service to their land. WiConnect’s home 5G has average speeds of 25 megabits per second download and 5 Mbps up—a far cry from the 100 Mbps or more that can be had in major U.S. population centers. And even though WiConnect is using essentially free bandwidth, the service still costs $79 to $99 a month. That’s the cost of broadband going where no broadband has gone before. Comments are closed.

Substance Abuse Testing, also known as drug screening involves the use of specialized techniques, kits, machines and procedures for the detection of one or more illegal and/or prescribed substances in the urine, blood, saliva, hair, or sweat. Drug abuse screening usually involves an initial screening test followed by a second test that identifies and/or confirms the presence of a drug or drugs. In general, testing detects substances not usually found in the human body, with the exception of certain hormones and steroids measured as part of sports testing. What Does 45105n Sap 5 50 MDMA 6AM T Stand For? This is an enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT), a common method for qualitative and quantitative determination of therapeutic and recreational drugs and certain proteins in serum and urine. It is the most common type of drug screening. This code stands for a set of 5 test which seek to detect the presence of the following substances in the body of the person being screened. 5 Stands for these panel set of five test: - Phencyclidine or Angel dust 50 in these code stands for? This testing procedure adopts the use of a GC/MS test and the threshold is 50 ng/ml. This is what the 50 stands for in the name. The cutoff limits are set in accordance with Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs that were developed by SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SAP In this code stands for? The SAP stands for substance abuse panel. MDMA In this code stands for? This indicates that the test also seeks to detect the presence of 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA), a synthetic psychoactive drug primarily used as a recreational drug. 6AM In this code stands for? The 6 AM in this code stands for 6-Monoacetylmorphine one of three active metabolites of heroin. However, the T in this code is a closely guarded secret of Quest Diagnostics utilized by the lab to prove the validity of the sample in order to ensure that false samples are not presented for analysis.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server is a type of software that allows users to access and control a remote computer or server over a network connection. It enables users to remotely access a desktop and interact with the same user interface as if they were physically present. The benefits of using RDP server are numerous.

In a stark illustration of the economic challenges facing Nigeria, the Federal Government’s budget has seen a significant surge in naira terms but has encountered a decline when expressed in dollars. The proposed 2024 budget of N27.50 trillion represents a notable increase from the N320 billion budgeted in 1999, reflecting the growth and evolving needs of the nation. However, a closer look reveals a concerning trend when viewed through the lens of the exchange rate. The proposed 2024 budget, when converted to dollars, stands at approximately US$33.10 billion. This falls short of the 2023 budget, which was valued at $41.30 billion, underlining a contraction in the government’s financial capacity when measured in the global currency. Analysts point out that when adjusted for factors like government-owned enterprises (GOEs) budgets and project-tied loans, the 2024 budget is only marginally higher than the 2008 budget. This suggests a nuanced picture where the apparent growth may be offset by various economic considerations and debts. The weakening of the naira is identified as a key factor contributing to this discrepancy. Not only is it adversely affecting importers by increasing the cost of goods and services, but it is also having a direct impact on the size of the government’s financial footprint. The reduced value of the naira in the international market is diminishing the purchasing power of the government and limiting its ability to execute ambitious projects and initiatives. Economic experts argue that this scenario underscores the imperative for Nigeria to enhance its productivity and economic resilience. Calls for measures to stabilize and strengthen the naira are gaining momentum, with emphasis on diversifying the economy, attracting foreign investments, and implementing policies to ensure a more robust and stable currency. As Nigeria grapples with these economic challenges, there is a growing consensus that a comprehensive and strategic approach is necessary. Addressing the currency devaluation, boosting productivity, and fostering a favorable business environment are seen as critical steps to ensure sustainable economic growth and the realization of the nation’s developmental goals. The onus is now on policymakers and stakeholders to navigate these challenges and steer Nigeria towards a path of prosperity and financial stability. Leave a Reply

US warplanes fly first combat missions off foreign aircraft carrier since World War II as Marine Corps F-35B jets take off from HMS Queen Elizabeth to fight ISIS in the Middle East - US planes haven't flown combat missions from a foreign warship since 1943, when they took off from Britain's HMS Victorious in the South Pacific during World War II - US F-35B jets took off from the HMS Queen Elizabeth this weekend, itself the first aircraft carrier of Britain's to see combat action in a decade - The mission against ISIS is part of the US's Operation Inherent Resolve, as well as the UK's Operation Shader - Military officials did not specify the location or target of the combat strikes - Royal Navy carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, a $5billion ship, is taking on the 'lion's share' of operations in Iraq - Commodore Steve Moorhouse said the UK is carrying out most of the missions to wipe out remnants of ISIS - US forces are instead focusing on withdrawing its remaining troops from Afghanistan after two decades - Russian warplanes have also been keeping tabs on state-of-the-art F-35 jet aboard the 65,000-tonne ship US warplanes have flown their first combat missions off a foreign aircraft carrier since World War II, as Marine Corps fighter jets launched from the UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth for operations against ISIS. Ten F-35Bs from the Marines' Fighter Attack Squadron 211 are aboard the Royal Navy's new flagship, joining eight RAF F35B jets from the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron. It is the most 35Bs ever deployed together on one ship, and air operations over the Middle East began on June 18. US planes haven't flown combat missions from a foreign warship since 1943, when they took off from Britain's HMS Victorious in the South Pacific during World War II. The combat missions against ISIS are part of the United States' Operation Inherent Resolve, as well as the UK's Operation Shader. Military officials did not specify the location or target of the combat strikes. Britain's Capt. James Blackmore, who commands the air wing aboard the Queen Elizabeth, celebrated the partnership between the US and UK. 'The level of integration between Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and US Marine Corps is truly seamless, and testament to how close we've become,' Blackmore stated. Marine Corps Colonel Simon Doran, the US representative to the UK Carrier Strike Group said: 'U.S. Marine Corps aircraft supporting Operation Inherent Resolve from a Royal Navy aircraft carrier demonstrates how effectively interoperable our combined naval forces are.' Scroll down for video The $5billion, 65,000-ton HMS Queen Elizabeth is Britain's newest aircraft carrier and is also carrying out her first combat mission. Britain has previously been without an aircraft carrier since the HMS Illustrious was decommissioned in 2014. The state-of-the art F35B stealth aircraft - which have the ability to land vertically - are being used over Iraq to look for other aircraft or unmanned drones and support troops on the ground. The jets are also being used in anti-ISIS operations to carry out surveillance with its sophisticated sensor and radar systems. The HMS Queen Elizabeth and its support ships, which include the US destroyer USS The Sullivans, departed the UK in May for its first operational deployment in a move that was set to outrage Russia and China. It was also accompanied by six Royal Navy ships including HMS Defender and HMS Diamond, a submarine, 14 Royal Navy helicopters and a company of Royal Marines. The carrier will remain in the eastern Mediterranean for two to three weeks before moving through the Suez Canal to continue with a seven-and-a-half-month deployment to India, South Korea and Japan. The Carrier Strike Group will visit India, Singapore and then to Japan via the South China Sea. Operation Inherent Resolve was established in October 2014 to formalize military efforts against the rising threat of ISIS. The mission is to 'defeat ISIS in designated areas of Iraq and Syria and set conditions for follow-on operations to increase regional stability.' British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace also released a statement, saying, 'The ability to operate from the sea with the most advanced fighter jets ever created is a significant moment in our history, offering reassurance to our allies and demonstrating the UK's formidable air power to our adversaries.' Royal Navy Commodore Steve Moorhouse said the UK is carrying out the majority of the missions to wipe out the remnants of ISIS in Iraq while US forces focus on withdrawing from Afghanistan after two decades. Last month, President Joe Biden said all remaining troops will be pulled out before September 11 this year, the 20th anniversary of the Al Qaeda attacks on the US in 2001. The 65,000-ton carrier has piqued the interest of Russian warplanes, who have been keeping tabs on its cutting-edge F-35 jet in a 'cat-and-mouse' game with British and US pilots. Speaking aboard the ship on its first-ever deployment, Commodore Moorhouse said: 'At the moment, we're taking on the lion's share of that operation over Iraq, which is a fantastic, say, feather in our cap. 'But an achievement that 'A', we're trusted and 'B', that we're able to do that.' Commodore Moorhouse said the carrier offers flexibility in how to conduct military operations abroad and 'keeps those that wish to cause us harm… on their toes.' He said the eastern Mediterranean has become more 'congested and contested' over the last decade in light of the heavier Russian military presence in Syria, which has resulted in regular encounters with Russian ships and warplanes. Commodore Moorhouse said that a Russian warship has come within 16 miles of the flagship but added that the encounters were not 'dangerous or aggressive.' He continued: 'We're rubbing up against Russian activity, not in a you know, in a dangerous or aggressive manner, but you've just got other people out here playing in what is a fixed piece of water and airspace.' He insisted that Russian, British and US pilots have a 'healthy respect for one another' and their conduct has been 'absolutely professional' since the aircraft carrier started anti-ISIS operations on June 18. 'But there is a reality when you buy yourself a fifth-generation aircraft carrier and you take it around the world … people are interested in it,' he added. Blackmore explained: 'It's that cat-and-mouse posturing, it's what we expect in this region of world. And as you can imagine, it's the first time for F-35s into the eastern Mediterranean. 'So, of course Russia wants to look at what they're like, they want to look at what our carriers are like.' In April, the U.S. Air Force grounded its entire fleet of B1-B bombers - involved in Operation Inherent Resolve missions - after finding a problem with the plane's fuel system. The decision was made after a 'ground emergency' on April 8 at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota - one of two bases where the B1-B is currently housed. The other is Dyess Air Force Base, in Texas. The B1-Bs were heavily used in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Flying missions against ISIS in the opening days of Operation Inherent Resolve, they were able to carry more munitions than that delivered by an entire carrier air wing.

The Exodus is one of the most dramatic events in the Hebrew Bible—the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt and their miraculous escape across the Red Sea. It is traditionally viewed as the single event that gave birth to the nation of Israel. Is there archaeological evidence for the Exodus, and for Israelites in Egypt? The Biblical narrative of the Exodus is a fascinating account that can be supplemented by additional historical sources. This free eBook, taken from articles in Biblical Archaeology Review magazine, considers texts and archaeological evidence from the second millennium B.C.E. that describe Israel in Egypt and the Exodus. In “Out of Egypt,” James K. Hoffmeier questions how likely is it that the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. And if they were there, which way did they go when they left? Hoffmeier uses recent archaeological excavation data from Egypt to shed new light on the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt, the locations mentioned in Exodus and the route the Israelites took out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Abraham Malamat’s article “Let my People Go and Go and Go and Go” questions the historicity of the Exodus. Malamat suggests that once we give up the search for a single, dramatic Exodus, the evidence for a more subtle image of ancient Israel in Egypt and the Exodus—one dispersed over time—will emerge. Finally, in “When Did Ancient Israel Begin?” Hershel Shanks takes a new look at the late-13th-century B.C.E. Merneptah Stele, which has long been considered the earliest reference to Israel outside of the Bible. But now three German scholars say they may have found another hieroglyphic inscription almost 200 years older naming “Israel.” This new archaeological evidence of the Israelites in Egypt suggests that the Bible may be more accurate than some thought. This free eBook shares new archaeological evidence for the Israelites in Egypt, and reshapes understandings of the historicity of the Exodus.

We have several dates for the Exodus. The Jewish Historian Flavius Josephus (70 AD) thaought the expulsion of the Hyksos by Pharaoh Ahmose I circa 1546 BC was the Israelite Exodus. 1446 BC is another Exodus date favored by some conservative scholars based on 1 Kings 6:1 statement that the Exodus occurred 480 years before Solomon built the Temple. Then some Liberal scholars favor an Exodus after 1260 BC in the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. Why? Because the Exodus begins at the city of Ramesses, and Egyptologists understand Egyptian Per-Rameses came into existence about the time of Ramesses I and II. Two Egyptologists, Hoffmeier and Kitchen, have noted that the 480 years of 1 KIngs 6:1, is contradicted by the Bible’s internal timeline which comes to a time lapse of about 600 years instead of 480 years. 1446 BC plus 600 gives us 1546 BC and the Hyksos Expulsion from Egypt. Yet Hoffmeier and Kitchen ignore this and prefer an Exodus in the days of Ramesses II (circa 1260 BC). Can the Bibl help us? YES. We are told that after Moses’ death Joshua attacks Jericho and orders its fallen walls to be set afire. In the 1950’s Dame Kathleen Kenyon excavated Jericho. She noted its LAST WALLS had fallen due to an earth quake and had been set on fire. She dated the event to the Hyksos Expulsion from Egypt circa 1546 BC! BINGO! The Exodus is 1546 BC and the HYksos Expulsion is being remembered by the Bible. THE PROBLEM? Sites in Jordan (biblical Moab and Ammon and Edom) have been excavated and some did not come into existence until after 1200 BC, or Iron Age I (1200-1100 BC). Conclusion: The Bible is recalling real events, grounded in archaeological findings, and the evidence suggests that the Iron Age I settlement of Jordan and Canaan, 1200-1100 BC has been combined with the Hyksos Expulsion and destruction of Jericho in 1546 BC. The Bible says Israel married the Canaanite’s sons and daughters and came to worship their gods. Assuming the BIble to have been written in Iron Age II, evidently these peoples saw the Hyksos as their ancestors via marriages with Iron I Canaanites (Hyksos descendants). Adão e Eva e o Jardim do Éden e Pecado Original, Moisés e o Êxodo (histórias de exilios e conquistas foram plagiadas), Dez Mandamentos, Abraão, Josué ou de qualquer dos juízes, Davi, Salomão e seu reino, NOÉ e o Dilúvio, NUNCA EXISTIRAM historicamente. A BÍBLIA, conta relatos que não são históricos, são boatos, fábulas, MITOLOGIAS. Não existem textos autênticos e originais estão perdidos. Parem de que enganar e mentir para o mundo relatando como relatos ficcionais como se verdades fossem. JESUS de Nazaré (deus ou filho de deus), José, Maria e os Apóstolos… as histórias da Criação e a Natividade, Crucificação, NÃO SÃO FATOS, são inverídicos e não são coerentes entre si (mortos não ressuscitam). NUNCA existiram. Os Evangelhos são um labirinto escrito por autores anônimos e editores e revisores conflitantes. Do Éden ao Apocalipse, A Bíblia é um registro dos erros e das maldades dos homens. As Escrituras “não são a palavra de Deus”nem inspiradas. DEUSES NÃO EXISTEM !!! Está em crise? In my opinion, the Bible is a good place to begin our inquiry, not to dispute its history and theology with cut and paste archaelogical references. Also, the bottom line with Biblical history is that God is not only providential, but actively involved in human affairs. The Bible is a revelation of what God has done and will accomplish from creation until the end of the age. Do we think it possible that the God who created a trillion stars in a million gallaxies might actually be capable of parting the Red Sea to rescue His people? If we disgard the first verses of Genesis as a myth, all bets are off. If one is an agnositic or an atheist, the miracles of the Bible that changed human history are nonsense. To paraphrase King David in the Psalms, “In their heart, they say there is no God.” In other words, our final, final on the subject of God’s intervention in Biblical history is an issue of the heart, not of the intellect. Interpreting Biblical history and theology is a grand and rewarding challenge for scholars and archaelogists. Digging dirt in those ancient lands to refute the authenticity of the Bible is a fool’s pursuit. Y’all need to stop pushing lies and tell the truth the real truth about Moses the real royal family of Kemet kings Ahmoses Ramoses Kamoses Thutmoses especially about Ahmoses chasing out the foreign invaders to regain the land liberation for his people from a bunch of culture vultures nomads stop lying to people about the misconception of lies a lot of people are awoke Israelites aka Hyksos it’s facts y’all need to stop lying to people examples of Hyksos Jacob aka Yaqubher Hykso also Hezekiah aka a Hykso on his seal they found he has a lot of Kemet Tameri symbols on it such as Sun of righteousness and a Ahnk on it stop embarrassing y’all selves entertaining lies Someone FINALLY said it In my opinion the reliability of the Bible as source material with regard to historical research is undermined by the nonsense myths and legends contained in the Bible. For example ‘The Flood’ legend in Genesis 7 is borrowed from the Babylonian cuneiform text which is one thousand years older than the Biblical Hebrew text. Dr Irving Finkel in his book ‘THE ARK BEFORE NOAH Decoding the Story of the Flood’ ( published by Hodder & Stoughton, Great Britain, 2014, ISBN 978 1 444 75708 8 ) acknowledges the pioneering contribution by George Smith ( 1840 – 76 ) who, in 1872 ‘astounded the world by discovering the story of the Flood – much the same as that in the Book of Genesis – inscribed on a cuneiform tablet made of clay that had recently been excavated at far – distant Nineveh’ ( op cit, p,1 ). This find at Nineveh and the translation by George Smith that the Flood story was written on a clay tablet one thousand years before the Hebrews plagiarized the Flood story, begs the question ‘what else did the Hebrew chroniclers plagiarize to compile the history of the Hebrews and which ‘God’ are the Hebrews referring to in their texts?’ How would finding the universal flood story in other countries and languages discount the story? Would it not add to it’s veracity? If the flood in Noah’s day was indeed universal it stands to reason that there wouldn’t be only one people group that knows and retells the same story. Actually, cultures all over the world, far removed from the Middle East and isolated from all external influence, retell ancient flood stories similar to that in the Bible. Would these ethno-historical accounts of remote peoples, that may have been orally passed down from ancient times, disprove the Bible? Would we say they’ve also plagiarized the ancient Babylonian story? Does the Bible claim to be the only account of a universal flood? No, it only claims that the flood was universal and, as such, would have, at least initially, been universally known. We outsmart ourselves when we try to disprove biblical records simply because we don’t want to believe it. Shouldn’t we rather see that, since so many of the biblical accounts are accurate and verified, maybe the whole of it is true? Well said, exactly what I would believe. As Noah’s family grew and repopulated the earth, the flood would of been passed down to the generations. Thanks Jon. Even the Chinese have a character that represents the flood. “Would it not add to it’s veracity?” — YES “Does the Bible claim to be the only account of a universal flood?” — NO, there are many world-wide stories of a major flood written down throughout history. You obviously know nothing about Hebrew heritage or you would not make your comments. OBVIOUSLY, Tina, you must know everything. I read Israel Finkelstein’s book The Bible Unearthed where he presents some interesting evidence for arguing that the exodus and conquest did not happen. Who is the most prominent critic who is archaeologist who challenges his hypothesis I just happened to see this Finkelstein on a TV show earlier this evening, entitled ‘Temple Mount,’ he doubts the efficacy of the Bibles account of Solomon’s temple, to me, after watching some of it, that he was ‘hell bent’ on trying to prove that that the Bible account of Solomon’s temple was a myth…..typical of some archaeologists ……after reading your statement, Noel, I can see how my thoughts did not go deep enough………he probably wants to discredit the entire Bible……….well I am sorry, he is in for a rather rude awakening. There are something like 1500 years between the building of the Pyramids and the Hebrew presence in Egypt. Explain that. Who would reasonably expect archaeological evidence of the various travels of nomads thousands of years ago through the sands of Sinai? I find the proofs on the realities of today. We know Israel was Canaanite, with the god EL forming part of its name. We know the god who became the God of Israel came form the South. Archaeology supports that. Those two groups, who saw themselves as kin, ie, the various “exodus” migrations bringing their god to Canaan and the existent tribes of Israel, became one, just as their gods became one. Who knows, maybe the “Shema” prayer attests to that merging of gods. North and South were historically at odds with each other. Provenances are clear. So it is in language, like the many ה ‘s added to names previously not containing them, such as Abram and Abraham, the h ( ה) being of southern provenance. So what’s the fuss, the denials, the politics, the insistence on ” accuracy” from the Bible – a book written by Hebrews for Hebrews as anything but perfect science in mind- , the dating feuds. Is there any doubt really that these migrations from Egypt, called the one Exodus compounding many stories, happened? Do the deniers have better explanations for the simplest of facts proving the composition of what was to become Israel post-Canaan? You should go to the ‘British Museum’ in London, it is truly amazing………with the right guide you can walk through Bible history…..you look at a particular artefact, go to the appropriate Bible chapter and verses, read about it…..and there it is in front of your eyes……..you can do this through the various sections of the museum, representing Biblical Empires, e.g. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. It really does make the Bible ‘come to life’ If you ever have that chance Gisel, I recommend it………you would certainly learn something. The God of the Israelites, Jehovah, was well known to the Israelites before their enslavement in Egypt………Moses had to remind the Israelites, about their God after 215 years bondage to the Egyptians, their release from captivity, and that is certainly well documented in in the Bible book of Exodus. (there was only ONE Exodus) And, the Bible is not just a book for Hebrews, it is a book for all mankind…….that is why it has existed for so long…….even after many attempts, throughout history, to destroy it , or prevent it from being published into hundreds of different languages, it is still a ‘best seller’ Thankyou Chris & Carl for your faith. And I completely agree. I too believe. I have always worried about Noah’s arch… good grief. There is good evidence for Israel in Egypt and for Israel leaving Egypt. Comparing archaeological information and Scripture it seems that Senusret III [also known as Sesostris III} was Pharaoh when Joseph, son of Jacob was taken to Egypt. The key is that there is more evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for any other personal event in ancient history. Noah’s Arch? Really? Paul there’s more to worry about…like knowing the basics and spelling. I wholeheartedly agree with all of Chris’s comments of Feb 2015. Chris, your comments are profound but come from the humble heart TRUE believer. You should start your own blog / Q & A to aid bible students come to the truth. You would lead many to Jesus Christ; Who is God in human form. Thanks for the comment Chris (2/14/15:20:43). My feelings and thoughts exactly. ‘Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God’ AMEN, and AMEN. And remember also: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding and He will direct your paths” … Again, AMEN and AMEN. Ronald says “I think….” But he simply doesn’t think. Did all the “comments” dry up because the people who offered their stupid opinions have now actually read the Hebrew Bible AND Dr. I Velikovsky’s “Ages in Chaos” which clearly explains the proof of the Exodus and the 10 Plagues. Without this book, they are simply writing opinions based on nothing at all. I look forward to reading from someone who has actually read the facts, the scientific and other proof of the accuracy of the Hebrew Bible and the dating related to Egypt. (See above). i don’t think any of this is true Chris says the best! Amen brother! I don’t think that there were any slaves. Ancient Egypt was a metaphysics capital of the world. Moses stole the Ark of the covenant in my opinion. The only way to recharge the Ark was in the Giza pyramid. .. why steal something that you can not use? God’s energy is shown in the form of the winged disc or solar disc that is actually Antihydrogen fusion wrapped in antihelium antioxygen that created the universe. This is also seen in the book of coming to light. .. Dark matter producing dark energy creates gravity and mass while living in the quantum field or aether shown in their art. My theory is backed up by NASA’S Fermi satellite And Italian space agency satellite PAMELA detected antihelium a signature of Dark matter during Sprite production. It looks like the sun but is double ringed flying disc made by lightning hitting hydrogen in a weightless environment of space. It created the universe. @ KURT THAT SAME PROCESS OF MAKING BRICKS IS STILL USED IN PART OF JUDIAH TODAY (AFRICA) If you are interested in the topic: For Don and others taken in by the “Yam Suf means Sea of Reeds and therefore just means such-and-such lake” argument: this argument doesn’t take into account that during the time of King Solomon, the Bible calls the sea at Elat “Yam Suf” as well, and in that case, there is no question it is speaking of what we call the Red Sea. What evidence is there that bricks were made in ancient Egypt? The Bible book of Exodus states that the Egyptians put their Hebrew slaves to work making bricks. The slaves had to make a prescribed number each day, using clay mortar and straw.—Exodus 1:14; “They made their life bitter with hard labor, as they worked with clay mortar and bricks and in every form of slavery in the field. Yes, they made them toil in harsh conditions in every form of slavery.”-Exodus 5:10-14.”So the taskmasters and their foremen went out and said to the people: “Here is what Pharʹaoh has said, ‘I am giving you no more straw. Go and get your own straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.’” Then the people scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. And the taskmasters kept urging them: “You must each finish your work every day, just as when straw was provided.” Also the foremen of the Israelites, whom Pharʹaoh’s taskmasters had appointed over them, were beaten.They asked them: “Why did you not reach the quota of bricks that you used to make? It happened both yesterday and today.”http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2012010 The making of sun-dried bricks was an important occupation in the Nile Valley in Bible times. Ancient monuments built from this material still stand in Egypt. A wall painting in the 15th-century B.C.E. tomb of Rekhmire in Thebes, almost contemporary with the events recounted in the book of Exodus, illustrates the process. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia describes the scene in this painting as follows: “Water is brought from a pool; mud is mixed with a hoe and then carried to a spot convenient for the brickmaker. This mud is pressed into a wooden mold which the brickmaker holds to the ground. The mold is then lifted off, leaving a newly shaped brick to dry in the sun. Rows and rows of bricks are molded and, when dry, stacked preparatory to use. This procedure is still followed in the Near East.” Different papyrus documents from the second millennium B.C.E. also refer to the making of bricks by serfs, to the use of straw and brick-clay, and to the daily production quota of bricks that workers had to meet. Detail of wall painting in tomb of Rekhmire; Erich Lessing/Art Resource, NY Correction Moses was not a Judite. He was from the tribe of Levi. After you have read Velikovsky you can THEN discuss the subject of Jewish history. The first new Pharaoh of Egypt after the overthrow of the Amu/Amalekites/Hyksos was the native short-lived 17th dynasty followed by the 18th. “The Great Queen of Egypt and the South” otherwise known as Hatshepsut was the queen “Sheba” who visited King Solomon of Israel and bore him a son. On her return to Africa she made him viceroy of Ethiopia and gave him and his heirs a title carried down the dynasty as “The Lion of Judah” until Emperor Haile Selassie was assassinated in our life-time. Instead of writing “Comments” about which several of you obviously know nothing, try reading Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky’s book “AGES IN CHAOS”. It opened my eyes and opened History. The Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus was Pharaoh Thom, the last of the 12th Egyptian Dynasty (apart from a son who died immediately after Thom drowned.) From then on there were the Hyksos/Amu/Amalekite dynasties 13,14,15 and 16th Dynasties. That lasted until King Saul defeated them completely at the battle of Avaris, their capital. Read about it in the Hebrew Book of Samuel. BHD claims (without the slightest evidence) that the Hyksos and the Israelites worked together. Other commentators make similar stupid assertions. The Hebrew Bible tells us clearly that the Israelites heading EAST or SOUTH EAST were attacked by the Hyksos heading WEST Into Egypt after Egypt had been totally destroyed in what we call the Ten Plagues. Moreover the Egyptian people at all levels had been decimated as their stone buildings collapsed on them. Further, their army and pharaoh had been drowned at the Reed Sea so the Land of Egypt was wide open and, as we are told in the Bible, there was no resistance. Will those commentators expressing their own wishful views rather than facts, please read Dr Immanuel Velikovsky’s “Ages in Chaos” which explains HOW it all happened. No need for ignorant hypotheses anymore. Or even so-called learned ones! As written in Judges 11:26 The Israelites were 300 years in the Trans Jordan. The Israelites were part of the Hyksos at Avaris, see Bietak Expedition Reports, from the time of Joseph vizier of the Hyksos, Genesis 41:33-39. The 5 conspirators who had conspired to kill then sold Joseph into slavery, Genesis 37::18-28 were given land at Goshen near the future city Pi-Ramesses Genesis 47:2-6. This was about 1620 BC. The conspirators were the pastoral Judahites. Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Levi and Gad.. The Israelites who lived at Avaris were expelled by King Ahmose along with the Hyksos about 1535 BC and there was a pursuit. This Exodus was one of Haste This episode is described by Ebana at his tomb site.. The Israelites fled into Canaan along the way passing the Sea of Reeds probably Lake Ballah, See the Haggadah P.106 Seif Edition. The Israelites found themselves in the Trans Jordan. They may have made a brief foray back into Canaan about 1447 BC while Thutmose III was attacking the Amorites. The Israelites entered Canaan about 1230 led by Joshua the Ephraimite a Josephite. The Judahites remained on their land at Goshen until the advent of Moses the Judahite who returned from Midian after the death of Ramesses Ii in 1213 BC Exodus 2:23. The Judahites were conscripted to provide labour for the building of Pi-Ramesses, the city of Ramesses Exodus 1:11. The Exodus of the Judahites was burdened with herds of Cattle and flocks of sheep Exodus 12:32, it was a leisurely affair. Moses had just returned from Midian and would have taken the Judahites by the shortest route back to Midian Exodus 2:15. There is no Egyptian record of any pursuit or disaster at the time of this Exodus. The Judahites entered Canaan from the south as described in Judges 1:3 forty years after leaving Egypt probably led by Caleb the Judahite, after 1170 BC. At least 60 years after the eastern entry of the Israelites into Canaan led by Joshua the Josephite. The First Exodus was one of haste pursued by King Ahmose. The Second Exodus was a leisurely affair. King Merneptah was not at Pi-Ramesses at the time of the departure of the Judahites he had moved to a palace at Memphis, see Univ. of Penn. Museum exhibit. In my life as I have walked holding hands with Elohim _ I have learned that He purposely keeps to Himself proofs of His accounts. In doing so He challenges us to believe in this case, regardless the apparent lack of archaeological evidence. The knowledge belongs to Him and He reveals His knowledge as needed for us to exercise our faith in Him in a manner that help us to grow as believers. Deuteronomy 29:29 states “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us (…)”. The real believer is that who doesn’t need any proof but His word. He gives us crumbs of knowledge, not too much that we become lazy in our faith and not too little that we get discouraged for the lack of it. This dynamic is compatible with The Lord’s character; He gave us free will so we can choose to believe or choose not to, He doesn’t force us, however as Jesus said to Thomas: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Dr Rohl learned about the errors in dating Egyptian history from Prof. Immanuel Velikovsky’s book “Ages in Chaos”. When the dates are corrected all the Bible falls into place. There is no “myth”. To understand, get hold of the book FIRST. I have been excited about the work of Egyptologist Dr. David Rohl and look forward to his new book “Exodus – Myth or History”. Dr. Rohl found the timeline for Egyptian history was out of sync with the actual archeological facts. If you place the new timeline over the known dates for the conquest of Canaan then even the fall of Jericho now falls into place. ALL the info. on the Exodus is in the Bible. There were 2 Exoduses, one at the time of the Hyksos expulsion from Avaris in Egypt about 1535 BC of the Josephite tribes the second of the Judahite tribes after the death of Ramesses II in 1213 BC. The First Exodus lead to the Israelites being in the Trans Jordan for 300 years, Judges 11:36 until lead out by Joshua the Ephraimite (a Josephite) into Canaan. This Exodus was one of haste pursued by King Ahmose and there is a record of this ! The Second Exodus of the Judahite tribes after the death Of Ramesses II (Exodus 2:23) when Moses the Judahite lead the Judahite tribes out from Goshen near the City of Ramesses to Midian. in Arabia. This was a slow Exodus because the pastoral Judahites were burdened with their flocks of sheep and herds of cattle (Genesis 47:32). Moses would have taken the direct route to Midian via the ancient Trade route having only recently returned from Midian (Exodus 4:19-20). The reason for the separaration of Josephites based at Avaris and Judahites at Goshen in Egypt stemmed from the five conspirators (Genesis 47:2) the half brothers of Joseph who had conspired to kill Joseph and then sold him into slavery at Avaris where he became vizier and was able to settle the brother and half brothers who had not conspired against him. The story is all there in the Bible, today partly obscured but still present- two Exoduses not one. Archaeology in Amenhotep III mention of the Shasu YHW the wanderers of YHW and the Ishrael base perhaps from the time of Thutmose III indicate the presence of Israelites outside Egypt long before the time of Moses and Ramesses II Really, this is it for the comments?! Ok, so everyone needs to see http://www.patternsofevidence.com/en and see the proof. Yes Finkelstein is in it! There is not only archeological proof, but also textural proof in the hand of an Egyptian. Much of the proof is coming from UNDER the land called Rameses, a whole layer of another culture, clearly not Egyptian. One of the most outstanding points to me was that Moses wrote Genesis around 1500, a few hundred years BEFORE the Pharaoh Rameses, so likely someone updated the city name later to something more modern, that could be traced, at that time. Again, it is now UNDER that updated location that they are finding masses of evidence! So people have been looking for proof in Egyptian records in the wrong time period, kind of like searching for records of some Americans having African slaves during this 21st century; not finding those records in this century doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, it means one was looking, in the right place, but at the wrong time! And as for Noah’s ARK, it was found in the 1950’s, verified through much scientific evidence including a core sample from near the base producing petrified animal dung, hair, and antler. It is exactly the right size according to the Egyptian cubit, can be seen on Google Earth, and has had a visitor center set up for over 20 years now in Turkey. I personally think that The Exodus was rather like Noah’s Arch in a way. It is clear from serious scientific work that this “exodus” never happened. And for a good reason. Hebrew bedouins were taken to PERSIA as slaves. That is a historical fact, that is also confirmed in the famous “name” Messiah,which is actually PERSIAN “me shah” and it means “our king”. But, hey. Science also tells us that believing in supernatural “friends” is clinical schizophrenia. SO very true. I have research this back and forward and found most writer’s are stating their opinion by adding a hypothesis to the very few facts to back up. if people study Egyptian history they keep real good records of certain things. This would have been very important and records would have been keep It seems that much money and ado is spent in the pursuit of opinion. Such opinion has to differ from existing opinion so that a name can be made for ones self. Thus an opinion turns to a hypothesis and a hypothesis to fact in the writer and readers mind. There is only one simple fact, the desires for money, and that desire drives the most rediculous speculations to paper. To often your authors state what the Bible says, but it is obvious they have not read it for what they state is wrong. To often speculations of a adle minded ditch digger are treated as archilogical fact. May the readers of this e-book beware, it is about as accurate a story as Russel Crowes Noah! Yam Suf the sea of reeds. is Lake Manzillah in the Delta that until they built the Aswan dam flowed into the Mediterranean. If you look at maps of the Delta prior to 1970 AD, you will see a gap in this long shore drift., In normal times the lake just trickles over sand bar into the Med, but during the inundation it blasts it’s way through creating this gap . and each year that gap moves up and down that long shore drift as can be seen by Napoleon’s maps. However when the Med Tide is out the, but not during the inundation time, waters from the lake will perculate through the sand bar leaving a 6-8ft dry area that can be walked over dry shod bu only for about 3 hours over aprrox a 4km stretch. When the Med Tide rises, the waters in the lake back up and the sand bar is covered by about 100mm of water. However if you’re running through this to the other side and you must be able to see the other side, then if yo fall you can get up . But a chariot doesn’t know this and the last thing the Egyptians wanted was to go into a small hole and the foot soldiers of Israel will come back and kill them ,so it doesn’t look like they followed them. This was the rooute the Egyptians as used then and now in taking a short cut from Port Said to Damieitta., Whereas by road you have to go back almost to Cairo . This tide happened twice a day for thousands of years. Which means Moses didn’t arrive there when the Med Tide was out but must have known about it and can be possible confirmed as being thee before from the Anastasia V papyrus. There is no mention of a Red sea in the Torah, the first referance to this sea was in the Christian Bible. Besides you have to have reeds to make their new abodes at Succoth and you don’t get reeds around salt water of the Red Sea. So where does the Bible get Red Sea from . May I suggest Moses named it Yam Edom the Edomite sea . It got changed to red because Red in Hebrew is Adom and there’s other references, like Karan and Keren where the translators got confused with there E’s an A’s as in Hebrew they’re similar . The Edomites were the people that lived near Elat and Accaba, which Moses passed through and they were seafarers . There is now no need for that gap ,so the Egyptians have built a road and houses, where I say Moses once trod. I should add that I believe Exodus and Genesis to be an accurate history of the Jews. It wasn’t God who slowed up the Egyptains. by removing their chariot wheels, it was Moses the stratigist, who sent Joshua and Caleb to remove the axle pins the night before . any questions ask [email protected] Johnna, surprisingly enough there is quite a lot of evidence for the Exodus. You should look up Thutmoses III and that story and research his history. Not to mention the findings of the Golden Chariot wheels under the Red Sea and Settlement evidence in the desert. I hope this helps. There is not any evidence of Isreals Exodus except for one place if it can be found. This is a living prophecy of today. We are not meant to find proof as when we are taken out of the world there will be no proof of the event. the only place there may possibly be evidence is where the ground opened and swallowed the one who stole and buried the silver under his tent and the ground opened and took his whole family and livestock. Good luck finding it. No other remains are there as they most likely resurrected with Jesus along with the others who came out of their graves when Jesus resurrected. That is my opinion. blessings. Have you people read “The Bible Unearthed” by Israel Finkelstein ? The ancient Egyptian word Habiru means “wild ones.” The ancient Hebrew word for Passover mitzrayim means “overcome your limitations to no longer be a slave.” Prophetic teachings are similar across the world in many diverse traditions. We are all God’s children. We all will die and be reborn at home among the stars.

Saturday, May 28, 2022 7:00 am In a recent webinar held in Lagos, it was discussed how sending wishes and messages could be beneficial to you. Mr Jude Steven, a sociologist, discussed the multiple advantages of sending wishes and messages to our loved ones. Mr Jude Steven, the webinar’s host, stated that his studies indicate that sending wishes and messages has a favorable impact on our general well-being. “We’ve all experienced the joy of receiving a message of love and support from a loved one. Did you know, though, that sending those messages can be equally beneficial to you?” He stated According to a recent survey conducted by Jude Steven, sending love and support to our loved ones can help improve our relationship with them as well as reduce tension and worry. Jude Steven also mentioned that websites like wishesgenerator.com make it simple to create wishes and messages. So, you can send a brief text or message to let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them the next time you’re feeling sad or moody as it may also make you feel bet What do you think?

Over 15,000 entries updated on topics ranging from race and sexual orientation to climate and internet culture The unprecedented events of 2020, from the pandemic to the protests, have profoundly changed our lives—and language. As we explained in our April additions to the dictionary, COVID-19 rapidly introduced an array of new and newly prominent technical terms to our everyday vocabularies, including asymptomatic, viral load, and social distance. The George Floyd protests against racism and police violence sparked a surge of searches that spoke to the power and passion of the cultural moment, not the least of which were Black Lives Matter and Antifa. And on top of the public health emergency and cultural upheaval, we’re in the midst of an economic crisis, gripped by educational uncertainty, and navigating a contentious presidential election, all while we see the devastating impact of the climate changing all around us. It seems our 2019 Word of the Year, existential, is more apt than ever. Change, no doubt, is a prevailing theme of 2020—and change is fundamental to the work of a dictionary. This September, we have released our biggest update ever. Our tireless team has touched over 15,000 entries. You read that right: 15,000. These massive changes include: ✅ 650 new entries ✅ 2,100 new definitions ✅ 1,200 new etymologies ✅ 1,700 new pronunciations ✅ Over 11,000 revised definitions ✅ Over 7,000 revised etymologies Many of these updates—650 of them, as noted—are of the sort that usually win attention: the new words that define the culture, technology, and environment of our times. Ecoanxiety, emotional support animal, MeToo, and af (yes, that af) are officially in the dictionary. But just as important as the new words we’ve added are the deeper revisions that document what drives us here at Dictionary.com: the ways language is constantly evolving. A great many of these entries we’ve updated address topics that touch all of us on the most personal levels: race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, health and wellness. One of the most comprehensive—and important—updates to our dictionary involves the capitalization of the word Black in reference to people. Capitalizing Black confers the due dignity to the shared identity, culture, and history of Black people. It also aligns with the practice of using initial capital letters for many other ethnic groups and national identities, e.g., Hispanic. Not only does implementing this more respectful and consistent style impact all new entries involving the word Black moving forward, such as Afro-Latina, Afro-Latino, and Afro-Latinx, it also compelled our lexicographers to review and revise hundreds of existing entries. What’s more, our lexicographers developed a whole new entry for Black in reference to people, separating that meaning from the lowercase word black whose dozens of definitions range from senses extending from a core meaning of darkness, to related senses involving dirt, and even metaphorical uses involving evildoing. In the dictionary world, separating the people-related definitions of Black from the other definitions of black is a major—and extremely rare—move. As a rule, different senses of words that share an origin, as lowercase black and uppercase Black historically do, are included under the same entry. It’s a rule worth breaking. Dictionaries are not merely a linguistic exercise or academic enterprise. What are the effects of Black, referring to human beings, being grouped together with black, which can mean, among other things, “wicked”? The effects are social. They are psychological. They are personal. How words are entered into the dictionary—especially words concerning our personal identities—have real effects on real people in the real world. Putting people first by using gay Capitalizing Black joins many other dictionary-wide efforts to put people, not practices, first, and ensure our definitions reflect—and respect—how people use language. Informed by GLAAD recommendations and APA guidelines, we have also replaced references to homosexual with gay, gay man, or gay woman as well as references to homosexuality with gay sexual orientation. For example, we now define gayness as “gay or lesbian sexual orientation or behavior” compared to the outmoded gloss of “homosexuality.” These changes alone affect over 50 entries. The previously used terms, homosexual and homosexuality, originated as clinical language, and dictionaries have historically perceived such language as scientific and unbiased. But homosexual and homosexuality are now associated with pathology, mental illness, and criminality, and so imply that being gay—a normal way of being—is sick, diseased, or wrong. We have also revised how we define words that use -sexual (bisexual, pansexual, etc.). Our definitions have updated the phrasing of “romantically or sexually attracted to” to “romantically, emotionally, or sexually attracted to.” For instance, our primary definition of bisexual is now: “noting or relating to a person who is romantically, emotionally, or sexually attracted to both men and women, or to people of various gender identities.” Not only do these revisions help eliminate heterosexual bias in language, they also help better convey the diversity and richness of—and take Pride with a capital P in—human sexual experience and identity. We make a point to use the word Pride here. Our lexicographers have also developed a separate entry for Pride with an initial capital P to better document the specific, widespread use of the term: - recognition of LGBTQ identity, affirmation of equal rights, and celebration of visibility, dignity, and diversity in the LGBTQ community (formerly referred to as Gay Pride) - events or organizations that celebrate the LGBTQ community and its members (often used attributively) Destigmatizing addiction and suicide In addition to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, personal health and wellness are other significant areas where language is evolving. Improving nearly 20 entries, we’ve replaced all instances of commit suicide with die by suicide or end one’s life, language preferred by mental health professionals and suicide prevention specialists. The moralistic verb commit is associated with crime (in the justice system) and sin (in religion), deepening the emotional pain surrounding this sensitive but important subject—and thickening the barriers to talking openly about it. We’ve also replaced all instances of the noun addict to a person addicted to or a habitual user of. These changes foreground the fact that people who have addictions are human beings, first and foremost. For instance, our new entry for the second sense of user now reads: “a person who is addicted to or abuses a controlled substance or alcohol; one who uses illegal or addictive drugs.” We implemented our changes to addict in parallel with revisions to the sometimes offensive noun alcoholic, which we now define as “a person with alcoholism or alcohol use disorder; a person addicted to intoxicating drinks.” The English language has many words, from disparaging slang and informal expressions to technical terms, for people who—while they may not have alcohol use disorder, another new entry in our dictionary—are habitual drinkers of alcohol. Historically, words used for these people, like lush or dipsomaniac, have been glossed using the noun alcoholic; we revised our definitions of these terms to be in line with whole-person language. Referring to people with addictions as addicts or alcoholics reduces them to a label—and one long connoting moral failure and weakness of character—and defines them by only a single aspect of their complex humanity. Combined, our updates surrounding addict and alcoholic improved over 50 entries. Defining the animals we depend on While fewer of us are doing so during the coronavirus, air travel in recent years has introduced such terms as emotional support animal and therapy animal into our lexicon. Such terms are often used interchangeably in colloquial settings, but their differences matter. Domesticated animals enrich our lives and contribute to our general happiness, but the specific physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits they can provide—as well as the training, legal status, and scope of work they have therein—varies. We defined, and distinguished, the terms for six such animals: - assistance animal - emotional support animal - comfort animal - companion animal - service animal - therapy animal Thirty years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it’s more vital than ever to give, as one highlight, service animal its lexicographical due: “an animal that is specially trained and able to provide assistance to a person living with a disability, as guiding a blind person.” Changing world, changing words Race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, health and wellness—these topics of identity represent some of the most serious and sweeping changes in our dictionary update. But our release covers many other urgent areas, not least of which is the environment. We’ve added a wide range of words concerning the animal kingdom, weather, climate change, and the human impact on a changing natural world, such as: - African pygmy elephant - cap and trade - conservation status - critically endangered - extinct in the wild Technology continues to innovate As ever, digital technology is itself a kind of livestream of new words—and changing faster than any dictionary can ever keep up with. Some of this novel terminology involves new technology and services. Other new terms reveal how technology is transforming our lives and behaviors, for better or worse. Some highlights are: New words from politics and pop culture As our tech term upgrades show, the dictionary will never keep pace with the great churn of the English language—but it’s not supposed to. Especially as it concerns new words and new senses, our dictionary editors patiently monitor lexical changes for widespread, sustained use. Many word trends are just that: trends, with a lifespan ranging from one news cycle up to several years. Other words have long been active (e.g., emotional labor) but only recently spread into mainstream use. How do words get into the dictionary, anyways? Our experts explain. Here’s a selection of new entries, drawn from everywhere—business to gaming to fashion to psychology to the social and political forces that have defined the late 2010s: - battle royale - dead white male - Dunning-Kruger effect - empty suit - gender reveal - information bubble Change is constant, a principle that’s true in language as in life. No matter what is happening in the world, we’re committed to documenting and describing—and helping you stay informed on and, yes, sometimes entertained by—the English language as it evolves. Fifteen thousand entries updated. And counting. 15,000 is just one small slice of the dictionary pie. We’ve got over 300,000 more. So how many words are there in the English language?

Video: First close-up video of Mashco-Piro tribe News emerged this week that an indigenous tribe in the Peruvian Amazon, the Mashco-Piro, has been trying to make contact with outsiders. In the past, the Mashco-Piro have always resisted interaction with strangers, avoiding – and sometimes killing – any they encounter. How should Western societies respond to these so-called uncontacted tribes? New Scientist looks at the issue. How many uncontacted tribes are still left? No one knows for sure. At a rough guess, there are probably more than 100 around the world, mostly in Amazonia and New Guinea, says Rebecca Spooner, of Survival International, a London-based organisation that advocates for the rights of indigenous peoples. Brazil’s count is likely to be the most accurate. The government there has identified 77 uncontacted tribes through aerial surveys, and by talking to more Westernised indigenous groups about their neighbours. There are thought to be around 15 uncontacted tribes in Peru, a handful in other Amazonian countries, a few dozen in the Indonesian part of the island of New Guinea and two tribes in the Andaman Islands off the coast of India. There may also be some in Malaysia and central Africa. Have they really had no contact with the outside world? Most have had a little, at least indirectly. “There’s always some contact with other isolated tribes, which have contact with other indigenous people, which in turn have contact with the outside world,” says Spooner. Many of the Amazon tribes choose to avoid contact with outsiders because they have had unpleasant encounters in the past. The Mashco-Piro, for example, abandoned their settled gardens and fled into the forest. According to Glenn Shepard, an ethnologist at the Emilio Goeldi Museum in Belem, Brazil, this came after rubber companies massacred tribespeople at the turn of the 20th century. For this reason, some researchers refer to such tribes as “voluntarily isolated”, rather than uncontacted. More recent incursions, especially by miners, oil workers and loggers, may have reinforced the tribes’ xenophobia. In 1995, oilfields were encroaching on the homeland of the uncontacted Huaorani people of eastern Peru. A visiting New Scientist reporter was warned that any unclothed native should be regarded as uncontacted and, thus, very dangerous. Are there guidelines for how best to approach such tribes? In Peru, laws prohibit outsiders from initiating contact with isolated groups in most cases. They also provide protected areas where tribes can live in peace – but there are loopholes that allow oil and mining companies into the region. Brazil has similar laws and policies that allow contact only in life-threatening situations. Anthropologists have an ethical obligation to do no harm to their research subjects, according to the American Anthropological Association’s Statement on Ethics. However, they are rarely the first people to make contact with indigenous groups – missionaries and resource developers almost always get there first, says Kim Hill, an anthropologist at Arizona State University who has worked with several recently contacted tribes. As a result, there is no standard practice for initial contact, he says. Why would tribes choose to end their isolation? Often, they feel forced out by encroaching civilisation, says Spooner. Survival International has documented some cases where settlements have been bulldozed and tribespeople harassed – or even killed. This leaves the survivors feeling like they have no option but to give up. Others see a more benign process at work, at least some of the time. Tribes may seek contact with outsiders because they begin to trust their intentions, says Hill. “As soon as the tribes believe they might have some peaceful contact, all these groups want some outside interaction,” he says. “It’s a human trait to want to expand our contacts.” Modern medicine, metal tools and education can also exert a powerful pull. What happens then? Often, there is a lot of disease because the tribespeople are exposed to novel pathogens. It is not uncommon for half the population to die of respiratory illness – unless outsiders bring sustained medical care, says Hill. Also, the newly integrated tribespeople frequently end up on the lowest rung of the society they join. Still, he says, when he interviews such people years later, “I don’t find anyone, pretty much, who would want to go back to the old situation.”

Over the years, Adolor junction has become notorious for flooding whenever it rains. When it rains, Adolor junction accumulates non-flowing floodwaters. Flooding at Adolor junction dates as far back as close to three decades. In 2013, the Federal Government reconstructed the Uselu-Ugbowo road. It was generally expected that this intervention effort would bring to an end the flooding at the Adolor junction. Unfortunately, the design of the reconstructed expressway placed sections of the road at unequal levels. This did little to end the decades of flooding at Adolor junction. Flooding affects many parts of Benin City. The effects are mostly felt in Oredo and Ikpoba Okha where improper waste disposal and lack of functional drainages accentuates the impact of heavy rainfalls and worsen the flood situation. Flooding in Benin City area is also influenced by the flat and tableland nature of the area with a high water table. Deaths, from drowning, have been recorded at the popular Adolor junction in Benin City. Adolor junction is in Egor Local Government Area of Edo state.

Fujian white tea is a type of white tea that is grown and produced in the Fujian province of China. There are four main grades of Fujian white tea: Table of Contents Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) Bai Hao Yin Zhen, commonly known as Silver Needle, is the highest grade of Fujian white tea, made from only the tender buds of the tea plant. They are typically long, slender, and covered with fine white hairs, giving them a silvery appearance. This appearance is the source of the tea’s name, “Silver Needle”. It has a delicate, sweet flavor and a light, smooth texture. Like many other teas, Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) has a legend behind it. Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) Bai Mu Dan, also known as White Peony, is another well-known variety of white tea, originating from the Fujian province of China. Unlike Bai Hao Yin Zhen, which is made strictly from the unopened buds, Bai Mu Dan includes a mix of both buds and young leaves. This grade is picked according to a one bud to two leaf ratio. It has a slightly stronger flavor than silver needle, with a fuller body and a slight hint of floral notes. Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow) Gong Mei, also known as “Tribute Eyebrow,” is the third type of white tea on this list. It is thought to rank after Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) and Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) in terms of perceived quality. The leaves of Gong Mei are generally smaller and more irregular in shape compared to Bai Hao Yin Zhen and Bai Mu Dan. The color can vary, often showcasing a mix of green, brown, and white hues, with the characteristic white fuzz less prominent than in Bai Hao Yin Zhen. It has a darker color and a bolder flavor than the previous grades, often with a slightly earthy and woody taste. Shoumei (Noble, Long Life Eyebrow) Shoumei, often translated as “Noble, Long Life Eyebrow”, is often considered to be the lowest grade of Fujian white tea, made from the larger, darker, and more mature leaves of the tea plant that are not suitable for the higher grades. Shoumei offers a fuller, richer flavor profile than the more delicate white teas. It tends to have a stronger, more robust taste with earthy, fruity, and sometimes slightly nutty or woody notes. The aroma can be more pronounced and varied, reflecting the mature nature of the leaves used in its production. However, it’s important to mention that even though shoumei is the lowest grade of Fujian white tea, it’s not necessarily a low-quality tea.

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are absolutely important for the growth of any nation as jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of STEM, but women are still largely underrepresented. In Nigeria, the case is not different and there are various factors but it predominantly because certain jobs are still gendered. Gender socialisation leads to gendered job segregation especially with STEM jobs that have, historically, been, assigned to males. In this interview with TheCable, Ibilola Amao, principal consultant of Lonadek, an engineering and IT solution organisation, talks about genderisation of STEM jobs and the importance of including women in the areas that lead to innovation and competitiveness. Amao is also an alumni of Manchester Business School and has a Ph.D in Computer-Aided-Design and draughting from Bradford University, UK. She also has a first class honours degee in Civil and Structural Engineering from Queen Mary College, University of London. TheCable: STEM is still not a path many women cross, as a woman charting this path, why are there so few women in this industry? Ibilola Amao: Girls do not make STEM courses a first choice because of mothers thinking that STEM is for their boys, or poor teacher style or experience or a lack of proper career counselling. If we can teach maths and science in very interesting ways, more ladies would come out tops in STEM. Science can be likened to cookery. Instead of using a cooker, you use a Bunsen burner. Beakers are the equivalent of pots. The chemical reaction with tomatoes, salt, pepper and proteins is similar to processing other natural resources. STEM is fun depending on how it is taught and interpreted. A lot of women have been bullied out of this space because we have some very archaic and sadistic men who would like to prove that a woman is not good enough. If you are able to stand your ground with any of these, word gets around that you cannot be messed with. We also need extremely good family support. The first endorsement of STEM being a great idea usually comes from a progressive father or mother. This emboldens the girl child to take a leap of faith with confidence outside the home. TheCable: What are the challenges women in STEM encounter? Ibilola Amao: In most mixed schools, some STEM teachers are biased towards giving more serious attention to the boys so the discrimination rubs off badly on the psyche of the girls. We need to engage girls more cerebrally, teach STEM in more exciting, relevant and applied ways. TheCable: Do you think stereotypes play a part in women staying away from STEM? Ibilola Amao: Yes. The long rough hours in many male dominated professions put ladies off. If you are a very feminine lady (with societal’s standards of femininity), without a passion for STEM, it would be very difficult to embark on a career in a male dominated sector. TheCable: Does society play a role in preventing women from taking up careers in STEM? Ibilola Amao: Yes. In some cases facilities are not adequately provided for women in male dominated industries. Culturally in some areas, women are not accepted as equal to men so there is a bias. There are some roles and jobs that are traditionally considered as masculine. To get rid of this stigma is hard work. Welding or driving trailers is one example. Being on the board of a traditionally male dominated company is another. Some senior engineers have a problem taking instructions from a female superior. They just cannot believe a lady knows what she is talking about, which is rather sad. We have to work twice as hard as our male counterparts to prove ourselves as competent in most cases. TheCable: Do you think women are marginalised in STEM careers? Ibilola Amao: Very much. Many STEM careers are not designed to accommodate pregnant ladies, mothers with little children or women who need to take time off work to attend to crucial domestics. In most cases, they are not scheduled on serious projects and for meetings when pregnant. When you are away for maternity, you are more likely to be removed from lists because they do not want to take a risk if you are unable to perform at peak when you return to work after your maternity leave. With good family support and an understanding superior these are non-issues. TheCable: How do you think women can play a significant role in STEM, how can they sit on the table? If women excel in what they do, they can win at any level. By bringing on board creative, innovative, diverse and value creating ideas based on a clear understanding of the value of diversity women become indispensable and well respected. A woman must always be on top of her game. A woman must attain expertise and mastery in her area of core competence and be respected for that over and above a pretty face, nice looks and transient padding that does not bring much to a negotiating table. We must match the boys and play to win at the Boardroom table even if we end up taking charge of the kitchen as soon as we arrive home.

Who's Behind Listverse? Jamie founded Listverse due to an insatiable desire to share fascinating, obscure, and bizarre facts. He has been a guest speaker on numerous national radio and television stations and is a five time published author. More About UsTop 10 Disturbing Modern Experiments Some scientists have always had a tendency to forget morality in the pursuit of knowledge. In doing this, they have forced animals and humans to suffer. So review boards were created to help bring ethical standards to science. Institutional review boards are used to regulate research in the United States. Despite many countries having similar panels, unethical studies continue. In large part, this is due to the differing ethical guidelines in animal research and the pursuit of knowledge at any cost. Below are 10 modern-day experiments with disturbing implications. 10 Mind-Controlled Rats Researchers at the State University of New York have found a way to control rats remotely. Scientists claim that the animals could be beneficial to us by doing dangerous and difficult jobs. Rats make good candidates for this experiment because of their small size and range of physical capabilities. The technology is still in its early stages and can only detect signals up to 460 meters (1,500 ft) away. Still, the inexpensive cost of the rat and its equipment makes this scientific achievement downright frightful. Even more disturbing is the fact that a creature can be controlled by a computer. The researchers controlled the rats by using computers to send electrical signals through the animals’ brains as a way of giving orders to the rats. They essentially became willing slaves to the whims of the scientists, who stimulated the pleasure centers of the rats’ brains. If this experiment becomes a stepping-stone for controlling the minds of other animals—and quite possibly humans—then we all face the threat of having our autonomy taken away by tyrannical leaders and corrupt governments. This might not happen, but the possibility of it is still disturbing. This technology could help to create the perfect obedient slaves or citizens. They would not even desire to escape or rebel and would be duped into doing whatever their masters desire—all to get a euphoric electric shock. 9 Artificial Wombs Artificial wombs are common in the science fiction genre, and scientists are closer than ever to developing one in the real world. They have already created an artificial womb that helped premature lambs develop normally. It resembled a large, clear plastic bag with wires. The goal of the research is to improve the survival rate and quality of life of premature babies, many of whom suffer from cerebral palsy and respiratory complications. The possible consequences, though, include a plethora of ethical quagmires. If humans can be produced entirely without wombs, then they might replace natural births. Many women might prefer birth outside their body for health and vanity reasons. The technology could also be used for sterile women and gay couples. This technology does, however, pose the threat of leading to eugenics and population control if women were sterilized, leaving those with access to artificial wombs as the only ones able to procreate. The possibility of artificial wombs is frightening. CRISPR-Cas9 is a relatively new gene-editing technology that is precise, inexpensive, and quick. Genetic modification is already controversial, but the possibility of gene-editing technology being used in humans raises several ethical dilemmas. In 2015, scientists improved the accuracy of the Cas9 enzyme, making it even more viable as a tool for genetic engineering. If we have the ability to modify our own DNA and create designer babies, we are opening the doors to a range of problems. Genetics is highly complicated. Many characteristics are controlled by several genes, making it difficult to assess the impact of changing any one gene. A gene that may be harmful in one scenario can be beneficial in another. So removing potentially harmful genes may hurt us in the long run. The idea of creating designer babies is hinged on the idea that some genes are superior to others and that we should try to create humans with superior genetics. If designer babies were successfully formed, then the gap between the rich and the poor could continue to widen. 7 Human Chimeras Chimeras are organisms with cells from two individuals. Human chimeras do exist naturally, but they are still 100 percent human. Now scientists have created human-animal chimeras. These researchers are hoping to manufacture human organs in animals by injecting stem cells into the embryos. Scientists hope this will save the lives of people who desperately need organ donations, but this might lead to the further blurring of the line between human and animal. It also begs the question of what it means to be human. How many human cells make an organism truly human? Additionally, if the chimeras were to possess similar cognitive abilities as humans, would they be given the same rights or treated as subordinates? The process may also harm the organism. The real ethical dilemma with human chimeras is their legal standing and how we will tolerate the possibility of human qualities possessed by another species. De-extinction is what it sounds like: the resurrection of extinct species. This may sound intriguing, but it could lead to a host of issues—as it did in Jurassic Park. In 2003, the first extinct animal, the Pyrenean ibex, was born, only to die and cause the subspecies a second extinction. Less than two decades later, scientists are hoping to bring back woolly mammoths. First, the researchers must sequence mammoth DNA. They intend to use Asian elephants as surrogate mothers. If this were to work out, mammoths might be seen at zoos but probably not in the wild. De-extinction raises the ethical problem of bringing an extinct species into a completely transformed world that they might not be able to tolerate or survive in. Furthermore, the possibility of bringing back a species that may never live again in the wild seems like a waste of resources. The money to fund these projects might be better used to help protect other species from extinction instead of playing God. The idea of bringing back species may be exciting, but it also raises questions on what to do if Neanderthals were brought back. In the future, it may be possible to use CRISPR to produce Neanderthals by using us or chimps as surrogate mothers. This would probably cause a lot of suffering as many cloned individuals are prone to health problems and often die young. Additionally, life likely would be hard as a modern-day Neanderthal. Teasing and bullying would likely occur due to their differing build and facial features, possibly greater physical strength, and perhaps differing intelligence levels. That is, if they are considered humans and not forced to be our slaves or subordinates in society. 5 Artificial Life A lab announced in 2010 that it had created the first artificial life-form. The disturbing part of the experiment is that the researchers played God. Scientists hope to create synthetic life-forms to help solve pressing world problems such as energy security, pollution, and disease. However, the potential negative consequences are drastic, especially since we would be creating something that never naturally existed. New life-forms may wreak havoc upon us or other creatures. The danger of artificial life-forms is that we may create something that we do not understand that could potentially backfire on us. For humans, exoskeletons are devices that are worn to improve strength and mobility—something most humans would desire. The Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) was created by European scientists to prevent falls, a dangerous reality for the elderly. However, these exoskeletons are fraught with ethical problems—from cost to retirement. At least at first, they would probably be available only to the wealthy due to cost. Exoskeletons could also be used to push the retirement age even higher and force our elders to work. These devices may also be used by perfectly healthy and fit individuals to enhance their physical abilities. This could lead to a myriad of problems: robotic enhancement in sports, upgrades of soldiers, and longer hours of labor. By vying to improve our strength, we might end up worse off. 3 Head Transplants The idea of head transplants sounds far-fetched. After all, beheading is a form of execution. However, Sergio Canavero has claimed to successfully repair the cut spinal cords of mice. Although many people are skeptical, his group is hoping to test their technique on dogs next. There are many ethical issues surrounding this idea. First, like many donated organs, the brain might be rejected and the patient would have to take drugs to try to prevent this after an incredibly dangerous procedure. These immunosuppressant drugs have side effects including osteoporosis, weakened muscles, and high blood sugar. Additionally, this leads to numerous questions about identity. Having completely new bodies could be traumatic for the patients and lead to increased aversion to organ donations for potential donors. 2 Enhanced Pathogens Enhanced pathogens are so potentially deadly that the White House is reviewing the funding of studies that make pathogens more dangerous. Many studies were halted in 2014 due to a string of frightening accidents in labs. Scientists study enhanced pathogens as a way to take defensive measures against the next pandemic. But these disease-causing agents could accidentally cause a pandemic if a super pathogen were to escape from a lab. The other disturbing possibility is bioterrorism—something the CDC is already preparing for. The ability to create even deadlier diseases opens the door to greater threats posed by pathogens. 1 Love Potions Love can be magical and difficult to understand. It can also cause a lot of pain. Nevertheless, the scientific community is studying ways to brew love potions, a potentially disturbing development. The neuropeptide oxytocin is being studied to examine its ability to help with relationships. Some scientists are skeptical that we can truly create love potions. But if researchers were able to successfully use oxytocin or other substances as love potions, the ethical implications would be profound. These drugs would probably be used to support rather than form love, but the idea of trying to recreate something as complex as love can be seen as playing God. Additionally, forcing someone to fall in love with you, if that could happen, would be highly unethical. It would violate a person’s autonomy, and the love potion may be considered a date-rape drug. Furthermore, we may just be putting a Band–Aid on our problems by becoming dependent on love drugs to cure heartbreak and fix relationships. It may be wiser—and certainly better—to deal with love the old-fashioned way. Alexandra loves guinea pigs, reading, and food.

You can check our Coding and Robotics bootcamp for kids here. Frequently Asked Questions on Coding Games for Kids Block-based coding utilizes a drag-and-drop learning environment, where programmers use coding instruction “blocks” to construct animated stories and games. Yes. With more sophisticated and interactive coding software and numerous coding teaching platforms, it has become easy for kids to learn to code. As coding can be attached to games, children at the age of 4 or 5 can begin their process of choosing the right career path by learning the basic concepts of programming. At that age, kids can kick start learning how to code in a funny way like using visual block interfaces, free apps or gaming sites, or text-based coding classes that are relevant to their age. Learning to code is not able being software engineers or programmers, it is about developing computational thinking skills. Computational thinking is how software engineers solve problems. It combines mathematics, logic, and algorithms, and teaches you a new way to think about the world. Computational thinking teaches you how to tackle large problems by breaking them down into a sequence of smaller, more manageable problems. Coding allows you to tackle complex problems in efficient ways that operate a huge scale. It involves creating models of the real world with a suitable level of abstraction and focusing on the most pertinent aspects. It helps you go from specific solutions to general ones. You may need to plan the course logistics, get trained to teach the course, make the syllabus, or maybe all three. From the range of 2 weeks to 6 months. However, This may vary based on the kid’s ability to respond to projects. Coding is fundamentally a creative endeavor, so once kids have learned the basics, they can continue honing their craft and taking on more and more sophisticated challenges. Coding helps in the holistic growth of kids by contributing to enhancing their analytical and creative thinking. It makes them more confident by providing opportunities to interact with other coders and developers. For early coders, it helps in building thinking ability which helps them in academics as well as co-curricular. Reading through this article, I realized it is another fun way for parents who are interested in introducing their children to the world of robotics and programming which is the new goldmine to also learn the basics of programming and robotics along with their kids.

How to know original phone battery? Smartphones with special features have attracted many customers. However, these features tend to drain the battery quickly, leading to numerous complaints about poor battery performance among cell phone owners. This battery problem can be solved by preparing a new backup battery if you have a handset with an original Samsung Galaxy S series / Note series removable battery. Worse, lately, there have been more and more reports of cell phone explosions. These exploding issues have become the main concern of smartphone users. The explosion could be caused by a faulty battery. It is important to use an original Samsung battery for better safety. Therefore, if you need to replace the old battery or prepare a replacement battery, it is necessary to acquire knowledge about identifying an original battery. So, we will be talking about how to know original phone battery here today. Why Does Using an Original Phone Battery Matter? Before we dive into identification techniques, let’s get this straight: using an original phone battery is crucial. Here’s why: - Performance: Original batteries are designed specifically for your device, ensuring optimal performance, and longevity - Safety: Counterfeit batteries run the risk of overheating, bloating, and even exploding. It’s a scary thought! - Longevity: Fake batteries wear out much faster, meaning you’ll be needing another replacement sooner. - Warranty: Using a non-original battery might void your phone’s warranty. Yikes! How to Know Original Phone Battery: Signs of a Fake The world of counterfeit batteries can be tricky, but worry not! Here’s how to know if your phone battery is an impostor: 1. Physical Inspection: The Devil’s in the Details - Packaging: Compare the packaging to the original (you can find images online!). Check for blurry logos, poor-quality print, or flimsy construction. - Labels: Look carefully for typos, misaligned text, low-quality printing, and a lack of proper barcodes or serial numbers. - Battery Build: The real deal feels solid, with no gaps, rough edges, or unusual bulges. Fake batteries can feel flimsy and less well-made. - Holograms: Many original batteries have holographic stickers or special markings. Check if they’re present or poorly imitated. 2. Digging Deeper: Beyond Appearances - Price: Be wary of prices significantly lower than the average for an original battery. If the deal seems too good, your instincts might be right. - Unfamiliar Seller: Purchase from reputable sellers and authorized retailers or service centers. - Weight: Counterfeit batteries often feel lighter than the real deal, as they use cheaper materials. - Battery Life: Notice a significant drop in battery life after the replacement? It’s a red flag. 11 Tips On How To Know Original Phone Battery - To the extent possible, request the formal business units to purchase cell phone batteries to display the identified battery company, model, and serial numbers on the invoice when purchasing a battery. Once the purchased battery finds the counterfeit product, you can negotiate with the responsible department according to the purchase invoice - The NOKIA BL-5C battery product identification must be clearly marked with name, address and cell name, model, rated capacity, rated voltage, date of manufacture, warning signs, etc. If the product does not meet the identity standards, it must be best not to buy this cell phone battery. - Check that the cell phone battery manufacturer is listed on the safety label. Like NOKIA words hiding under the driveway, this is one of the tips. The original product is clearly flawless, making the counterfeit product dwarf. If you look closely, you might also find the name of the manufacturer. For example, Motorola battery, HTC 35H00120-01M battery, the counterfeit-proof brands are diamond-shaped and can flash three-dimensional effect from any point of view, while Motorola, original and print are clear, then it should be genuine. On the contrary, if dark color, three-dimensional sense insufficient, vague words, it may be fake - Each cell has its unique original serial number, which means you select the battery, if some cells are marked with the same serial number, you can assume that these products are counterfeit. - Original Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are precision molds for plastic lamination and have a shape, neat appearance, no burr, and the edge of NOKIA 3100 battery should not have the open scene. - The Inspiron’s lithium-ion battery is fully charged and has a life of 1.5 times that of the nickel-hydrogen battery and 3.0 times that of the nickel-cadmium battery. Therefore, a lithium-ion battery with a battery of the same capacity is smaller and lighter than the nickel-metal hydride battery. - By observing the packaging to discern the authenticity. All original parts with heat sealing technology for one-time sealed packaging, non-original parts are usually just simple packaging or no packaging. - Think of plastic surfaces and plastic materials. Real batteries have a smooth surface, using the PC material, no signs of embrittlement; Counterfeit batteries without wear or recycled materials that are too rough are light to brittle. - The original material of the battery case is strong and difficult to damage, making it generally difficult to open the battery. With the original battery, the color texture of the battery surface is clear, uniform, clean, without scratches or damage - The color of the metal contacts on the battery may vary. Metal contacts of the original battery are darker-colored, counterfeit batteries partly light metal contacts. And the metal contacts of the original battery do not reflect. This can be seen under the light, counterfeit batteries are highly reflective. - Insert the SAMSUNG AB533640BU battery into the phone then check the Vostro 1500 battery level corresponding to the mobile phone. The original battery fits the body very well, and the color of the battery is not much different from the mobile phone Remember, investing in an original phone battery is investing in your phone’s longevity and safety. Don’t get scammed by fakes! Use the tips in this guide, a little bit of vigilance, and say hello to better battery life. If you found this helpful, spread the word and check out 9jaboizgist.com.ng for more tech-related goodness. Let’s stay one step ahead of those pesky counterfeits!

Hopes for cervical cancer vaccine after trials in mice showed it reduced tumours 80 per cent of the time - Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Sao Paulo trialled vaccines - 80% of mice trialled on three vaccines showed complete tumour regression Scientists are one step closer to developing a vaccine for cervical cancer after trials in mice showed it reduced tumours 80 per cent of the time. Researchers tested a trio of mRNA vaccines – the basis of which formed the Covid jab – on tumours caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). While HPV doesn’t cause problems for most people, it can increase the risk of some types of cancer such as cervical. The three vaccines were individually trialled on mice with HPV tumours – and analysis of results published in the journal Science Translational Medicine found each vaccine could reduce the size of the tumours with a single dose. The researchers reported complete tumour regression in 80% of the trial mice ‘Even single low doses of the vaccines elicited strong immune responses and led to complete tumour regression in 80 per cent of the mice at advanced stages,’ the team from the Universities of Pennsylvania and São Paulo said. A vaccine already given to young people can protect against HPV, and prevent cancers caused by it, but does not treat those with tumours. The findings were presented at the conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington. Further clinical trials will be needed, the team explained.

Pope Francis on Wednesday, in a renewed call for social justice, said that older people should be made to work less or retire early to create employment for younger generations. “There is an urgency for a new human social pact, a new social pact for work that should reduce working hours for those at the end of their working lives, to create work for the young, who have a right and a duty to work,’’ Francis said. Speaking during an audience with Catholic-linked Italian trade union CISL, Francis said that “a society that forces old people to work for too long and forces an entire generation of young people not work is stupid and short-sighted’’. Francis, who is 80, also criticised so-called “golden pensions,’’ which granted generous payments to selected categories of Italian workers, and said work must be accompanied by a “healthy culture of leisure which is not laziness, but a human necessity.’’ A critic of capitalist excess, the pope has often decried Europe’s youth unemployment crisis, saying it discourages young people from starting a family. However, many economists denied that pushing older people out of the labour market would create jobs for the young.

22 Amazing Health Benefits Of Zucchini Fruit Zucchini fruit is another wonderful fruit with a lot of health benefits. It was first cultivated and known in America, specifically Mesoamerica but it is now found in any part of the world. It is light green but another related hybrid has a yellow or orange color.

S*xually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a common health issue that can cause a variety of physical and emotional problems. While many people are aware of the short-term effects of STDs, such as discomfort, pain, and infertility, fewer are aware of the potential long-term consequences, including the increased risk of cancer. In this article, we will explore the connection between STDs and cancer, and why it is important to take STD prevention seriously. 1. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common s*xually transmitted infections and is responsible for several types of cancer. HPV can cause cervical, anal, penile, vaginal, and oropharyngeal cancers, and it is estimated that approximately 90% of cervical cancers are caused by HPV. The virus is typically spread through s*xual contact and can often go unnoticed, as it may not produce any noticeable symptoms. In fact, many people who contract HPV may never know that they have it. This is why regular testing and screening is so important for early detection and prevention. 2. Human Immunodeficiency Virus Another STD that has been linked to cancer is the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). People living with HIV are at an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, including Kaposi’s sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and cervical cancer. This is due to the weakened immune system that results from HIV infection, which makes it more difficult for the body to fight off cancer cells. 3. Hepatitis B&C Other STDs that have been linked to cancer include hepatitis B and C, which can cause liver cancer, and herpes simplex virus, which has been linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer. In addition, some studies have suggested that Chlamydia and Gonorrhea may increase the risk of cervical cancer, although further research is needed to confirm this connection. Another way in which STDs can lead to cancer is through chronic inflammation. STDs can cause inflammation in the affected areas, which can lead to changes in the cells and tissues over time. These changes can increase the risk of cancer developing in those areas. For example, chronic inflammation in the cervix caused by HPV infection can lead to precancerous changes and eventually cervical cancer. Preventing STDs is an important step in reducing the risk of cancer. The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing the types of HPV that are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases, as well as some other types of cancer. The vaccine is recommended for both males and females and can be administered as early as age 9. In addition, practicing safe s*x by using condoms or other barrier methods can reduce the risk of contracting STDs. Read Also: Prevention Methods For STDs Regular testing and screening are also crucial for early detection and prevention of STD-related cancers. Women should undergo regular Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer, and those who are at an increased risk may also need to undergo HPV testing. Men who have s*x with men should undergo regular anal cancer screening, which may include a digital rectal exam, anal Pap test, or anoscopy. It is also worth noting that some STDs, such as syphilis, can mimic the symptoms of other diseases, including cancer. This can lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment, which can be detrimental to a person’s health and increase their risk of long-term complications.

See what The Gadget Deck (thegadgetdeck9) has discovered on Pinterest, the world’s biggest collection of ideas. How to open a file from the file: ///sdcard/? With the emergence of mobile computing, we now have access to all kinds of files from anywhere at anytime. But when opening these files, some may encounter problems like: “File Not Found”, “File does not exist”, “Cannot find specified path”, etc. Here I will share some tips to solve these issues. Check for the right folder name First try to open the file within the same directory itself, or under its parent folder. For example, if you opened a text document inside the Documents folder, the next step will be to look for another file named ‘documents’ inside the Documents folder, if found, then go ahead and open it. Use absolute paths only In case the above method doesn’t work, try to figure out the exact location of the file, so that you can move it to the correct place. For example, if the file is located in /sdcard/Documents/, then try to rename the file to something else before moving it back to the original position. If you still have trouble finding the file after trying both methods, then you can always just copy the file to another location instead of renaming it. Try to rename the file first Another approach is to change the extension of the file. For example, if your original filename was ‘myfile.txt’ but you wanted to change it to ‘newname.ext’, then simply open the file and press Ctrl+H. Click on Change Filename and type in ‘newname.text’. Save and close the file. Now try to open it again. Look for hidden files Sometimes you may also meet an error message saying that the file cannot be found. This usually happens when there is a hidden file or directory involved. 5. Try to delete the cache files Some errors may occur due to outdated cache files. So try deleting the following files from your PC: C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\LocalLow\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Cache or C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Temp. Clear the browser’s cache This is especially helpful if you tried to open a file in Chrome or Safari browsers and encountered an error. Reinstall the app If neither of the solutions above worked, then try reinstalling the application or upgrading the OS version. Also make sure you check the device storage space and memory. What is the use of the file SD card? In Android phones, we can store files in internal memory or external storage. External storage is also known as an SDCard. While Internal Memory is used to save user data and apps. So What is the difference between these two? SD Cards are removable flash based storage devices. They are commonly used to store pictures, videos, music etc. These cards come in different sizes like 32GB, 64GB, 128GB etc. This is non-removable storage device.

In a world bustling with choices, there’s one decision that resonates powerfully across every aspect of our lives – what we put on our plates. Beyond being a routine, healthy eating embodies a transformative journey, a symphony of flavors intertwining with the rhythm of vibrant well-being. In the vast landscape of personal finance, an often overlooked yet potent tool emerges – our daily sustenance. Beyond mere consumption, the choices we make at the table hold the key to not just our health but also to unlocking financial abundance. They say “Health is Wealth” and Dr. Jesupelumi Adenihun is set to bring us to that reality through her book ‘Eat to Wealth’ launched on the 18th of November. In this interview with CrispNG, she shares some crucial and fascinating details about the book, the importance of eating healthy and the need to create the right consciousness to avoid coming down with preventable ailments that drain our wealth. CrispNG: Tell us about your book, ‘Eat to Wealth’ and what inspired it. When people hear ‘wealth’ they immediately start thinking about money, while that is good, there is a very big connection between your eating and feeding and productivity; you’re able to save money that would have been spent treating diseases. The popular ‘Health is Wealth’ phrase is synonymous to ‘Eat to Wealth’. During my undergraduate years as a medical student, I observed that a lot of the diseases that people came down with were preventable, and from my research, reading and even going through a nutrition certification course I saw that people lacked the information and when they do, they don’t have access to the right information on how to eat healthy in a sustainable manner. I’m emphasizing the word, sustainable manner because it has to be something that you can do repeatedly, as it should be long-term or habitual. The book is all about reorienting people, and educating them on how to eat, what to eat and when to eat. CrispNG: Tell us the impact you want to see after the release of this book Creating a consciousness in the minds of people on their eating habits is something I hope to achieve. 7 out of 10 people are dying as a result of diseases that can be prevented and a good number of them are tied to the foods that we eat. So, if we are becoming more conscious, especially for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s we will go a long way. When we talk of eating right, it’s not about eating foods that you don’t enjoy. I want to create a community that has a sense of eating healthy, thereby contributing to a longer lifespan that is void of diseases to a large extent. Even if they already have those diseases the food they consume together with the medication can go a long way in creating a better outcome. So, in a decade from now. We want to be able to see a reduction in the number of people who are dying from these diseases, even if we achieve a 4 over 10 we can say that it is a step in the right direction. Right now, beyond Nigeria, in Africa, we are spreading that influence, helping people to adopt better eating practices, with the aim of achieving a universal goal of seeing healthier people and fewer people dying due to nutrition-related diseases. CrispNG: Healthy lifestyle is not something many Nigerians prioritise, as a doctor, what do you think is responsible for this? Interestingly, you can find that Nigerians prioritise other things above health. Running a health start-up, I’ve seen people who’ll pay for a party before remembering to pay for their annual checkup. It’s still boils down to information and educating people. The more you inform people, the more they become aware and take action. Today, so many people don’t do checks, so many people do not know what their health statuses are, and that’s where I come in as a medical professional, I educate the people and we have amazing foods so let’s embrace them. CrispNG: As the co-founder of CHEKKER, how is your organisation addressing the issue of eating healthy? What we do at CHEKKER is an at-home diagnosis, we go from full end to end. So, right from when patients are getting to see a doctor. So we provide health checks and consultation, thereby detecting problems and finding solutions linked to healthy eating, etc. We do this for individuals and organisations. CrispNG: You talked about educating people, how can the government and individuals improve this? I am a contributing member of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group and earlier this year we did something on workforce nutrition. A good number of us spend most of our time in our workspaces, so addressing people’s nutritional needs is an approach taken at the national level to ensure that workforce nutrition is enforced in organisations and different criteria are now looked at as to how people eat. Also, education can not be overemphasized even right to secondary schools to know the kind of meals being consumed, so these are one of the practices that are enforced. Individuals, families, corporate organisations and even healthcare institutions are not left behind. CrispNG: How well are policies implemented in Nigeria? We are doing well in terms of policies, but we go into the strategy of how it is distributed from top to bottom, and monitoring of the implementation process. So far, I wouldn’t say we are 100% there yet, but good progress has been made. However, the government at all levels and individuals have a role to play in terms of policy implementation. CrispNG: How do we address the issue of poverty and a healthy lifestyle? For some people, the real scenario is that they really cannot afford to feed themselves, but things like home gardens. Producing also helps in boosting the economy. When it comes to eating healthy you have the issue of time, access, quality and cost. Some people might have time and have the issue of cost, so a home garden is a good option. Eating healthy is not a state of perfection, it’s something that you keep getting better at. CrispNG: You’re launching a book soon, apart from that, do you have other projects in the pipeline? It revolves around Education, coaching and provision of meal plans. For corporate organisations we offer full-service provision, health education, health checks and health interventions, sometimes it could be group coaching or training. There’s a project of redefining workspaces so that employers get the right meals they can provide even to people that come into those spaces, that will be completed soon and will be announced.

Coaxial cables have been a popular product used to transmit radio and video signals since way back at the beginning of the 20th century. Espenschied and Affel filed the patent for coaxial cable in 1929, which was granted in 1931. They have been used to transmit data for a range of purposes ever since. This nifty innovation is capable of efficiently transporting high-frequency signals, which makes them perfect for broadband applications. They’re also ideal for providing the link between satellites and devices –- making them efficient and effective for television signals. Their shielded design also makes them durable, with their outer sheath providing protection to the conductors inside which share a single axis – hence the name ‘coaxial’. Not all are the same, though. Here are five of the most popular options and the different options they bring to the table. RG-6 Coaxial Cable This is a generic term used for the coaxial cabling used in most residential properties. It has an impedance of 75 ohms, is made from insulated, copper-clad steel or solid copper centre conductors and are typically used for cable television. RG-59 Coaxial Cable This is the lightweight version of the RG-6, with a thinner conductor and less insulation and shielding. This makes them a low-cost, easy to install option for short-range, low-frequency applications like analogue television signals of basic CCTV (non-HD) setups. RG-11 Coaxial Cable This is the evolution of the RG-6 and offers far superior performance as it has a much higher-gauge wire. This is the preferred option for HDTV signals, although the extra thickness can make installation more difficult as the cable is not as flexible. Commonly known as HFC, this is a system where fibre optic cables are run to a node and then split to individual homes using coaxial cables. This has commonly been used for pay television services in Australia since the 1980s and is now used to deliver the NBN to residences. Hard-Line Coaxial Cable This was an extremely popular option until about 2005, from the era when copper was king. Before fibre optics became the norm, these heavy cables (almost two inches thick) were used in buildings to transport data. It could carry hundreds of channels of television, thousands of phone calls and provide a decent enough internet connection for a small to medium business. Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cable Instead of using a softer insulation casing, these cables are made from solid copper. They offer superior screening – especially at higher frequencies – and are much more durable. Semi-Rigid cables are not nearly as flexible, though. For those looking for more bandwidth, this is a preferred option. It adds an extra layer of insulation and a second conducting sheath for greater bandwidth and less outside interference to the signal. The added copper brain effectively acts as a shield and improves performance. These variants have two inner conductors instead of the standard one in coaxial cables which provides major benefits in short-range, high-speed applications. That makes Twinaxial cabling the preferred option for local area networks and other computing applications. Want to become qualified in the area of cabling? Contact us on 1300 369 320 to learn more.

In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, it is comforting to reflect on the greatness of a higher power. For centuries, people have sought solace and guidance in their belief in a supreme being. Regardless of one’s specific faith or religious background, the concept of a mighty God is woven into the fabric of human spirituality. This blog aims to explore the awe-inspiring attributes of a mighty God and how this belief can positively impact our lives. The Omnipotence of God The omnipotence of God is a concept deeply rooted in the Bible, and it reveals the limitless power and authority of our Creator. God’s omnipotence provides believers with a sense of reassurance and security, knowing that there is a higher power capable of overcoming any obstacle or challenge. The Bible is filled with passages that highlight the omnipotence of God. One such verse is found in Jeremiah 32:27 (NIV), where God declares, “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” This verse reminds us that there is nothing beyond God’s power and ability. No circumstance is too difficult for Him to handle. The creation account in Genesis also showcases God’s omnipotence. In Genesis 1:1 (NIV), it says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This verse emphasizes that God’s power extends beyond our comprehension. Through His spoken word, He brought the entire universe into existence. The psalmist David, in Psalm 147:5 (NIV), proclaims, “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” This verse highlights both the greatness and power of God. His understanding is limitless, and His power knows no bounds. Throughout the Bible, we see examples of God’s omnipotence in action. In Exodus 14:21-22 (NIV), God parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape from the pursuing Egyptian army. The mighty act of parting the waters showcases God’s power over nature and His ability to intervene in human affairs. In the New Testament, we witness Jesus’ demonstration of God’s omnipotence through His miracles. Jesus healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, and even raised the dead. In Luke 8:22-25 (NIV), Jesus calmed a raging storm with a simple command, revealing His authority over nature. These miracles serve as a testament to the limitless power of God manifested in the person of Jesus Christ. The omnipotence of God extends beyond physical miracles. It encompasses His ability to heal, restore, and transform lives. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV), the apostle Paul shares his experience of God’s power in weakness, stating, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ This verse illustrates that God’s power is not limited by our weaknesses or limitations. Rather, His power is magnified in our lives when we surrender to Him. Believing in the omnipotence of God invites us to trust in His sovereignty and to rely on His strength rather than our own. It encourages us to bring our burdens, fears, and challenges before Him, knowing that He is able to overcome any obstacle. As Ephesians 3:20 (NIV) assures us, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” The Bible affirms the omnipotence of God, revealing His unlimited power and authority. From the creation of the heavens and the earth to the miracles performed by Jesus Christ, Scripture testifies to the greatness of God’s might. Believing in God’s omnipotence brings reassurance and security, knowing that there is a higher power capable of transforming lives and overcoming any challenge. May we trust in the omnipotent God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think. The Wisdom and Omniscience of God The wisdom and omniscience of God are foundational beliefs in many religious traditions, including Christianity. The Bible emphasizes that God possesses perfect knowledge and understanding, surpassing the limits of human comprehension. This divine wisdom brings comfort and guidance to believers, especially in times of confusion or uncertainty. One of the key passages that highlights God’s wisdom and omniscience is found in Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV): “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” This verse reminds us that God’s wisdom is beyond our understanding. His methodologies and contemplations are higher and more noteworthy than our own. The book of Maxims is loaded up with stanzas that laud the worth of astuteness and information. Proverbs 2:6 pronounces, “For the Ruler gives intelligence; Understanding and knowledge emanate from his mouth. This refrain stresses that genuine insight comes from God. He is the wellspring of all information and understanding. Furthermore, the concept of God’s omniscience is expressed in Psalm 139:1-4 (NIV): “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.” This passage highlights that God has perfect knowledge of every detail of our lives. He knows our thoughts, words, and actions even before they come to be. The wisdom and omniscience of God are not limited to mere knowledge of facts. They extend to His ability to guide and direct our paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) states, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” This verse encourages us to rely on God’s wisdom rather than our own understanding. By trusting in Him and submitting to His guidance, we can experience the clarity and direction that come from His omniscient wisdom. The New Testament also affirms the wisdom and omniscience of God. In Romans 11:33 (NIV), the apostle Paul exclaims, “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” This verse highlights the vastness and incomprehensibility of God’s wisdom. His judgments and ways are beyond our ability to fully understand. Believing in the wisdom and omniscience of God allows us to find solace and guidance in His perfect knowledge. It reminds us that we do not need to navigate life’s challenges alone. We can approach God in prayer, seeking His wisdom and guidance in every decision we face. James 1:5 (NIV) assures us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” The wisdom and omniscience of God are foundational beliefs in Christianity. The Bible affirms that God’s wisdom surpasses human understanding and that He possesses perfect knowledge of all things. Believing in God’s wisdom brings comfort and guidance, especially in times of confusion or uncertainty. We can trust in His guidance, knowing that His ways are higher and greater than our own. May we seek His wisdom and submit to His omniscient guidance in every aspect of our lives. The Merciful and Loving Nature of God The merciful and loving nature of God is a central theme throughout the Bible. The Scriptures teach us that God’s love is unconditional and extends to all people. His mercy and compassion offer solace and hope to those in need. In the book of Psalms, we find a beautiful expression of God’s loving and merciful nature. Psalm 103:8-10 (NIV) declares, “The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He won’t necessarily in all cases charge, nor will he harbor his resentment until the end of time; he doesn’t regard us as our wrongdoings merit or reimburse us as indicated by our injustices.” These verses remind us that God is full of compassion and grace. He does not hold our sins against us, but instead, He offers forgiveness and redemption. The New Testament also emphasizes the love and mercy of God. In John 3:16 (NIV), Jesus Himself declares, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This well-known verse reveals the depth of God’s love for humanity. He sent His Son, Jesus, to offer salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him. The parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32 (NIV) provides a powerful illustration of God’s merciful and loving nature. Despite the son’s rebellion and wastefulness, the father welcomes him back with open arms, demonstrating the Father’s heart of forgiveness and compassion. This parable reminds us that no matter how far we have strayed or how great our mistakes, God’s love and mercy are always available to us. God’s love is not limited to those who are deserving or righteous. Romans 5:8 (NIV) assures us, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse highlights the incredible depth of God’s love. He loved us even when we were in a state of sin and rebellion. His love is not based on our worthiness but on His own nature. Another aspect of God’s love is His compassion for the brokenhearted and the suffering. Psalm 34:18 (NIV) tells us, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” This verse reassures us that God is near to us in our times of pain and sorrow. He offers solace and recuperating to the people who are harming. Hope and change are brought about by having faith in God’s mercy and love. It reasserts the point that our past failures and errors do not define us. God’s love has the power to heal our wounds, restore our hearts, and give us a new purpose. 1 John 4:9-10 (NIV) beautifully captures this truth: “ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” The Bible teaches us about the merciful and loving nature of God. His love knows no boundaries and extends to all people. Through His compassion and grace, He offers forgiveness, redemption, and a new life. Believing in God’s love brings comfort, healing, and a sense of purpose. May we embrace His love and extend it to others, reflecting His mercy and compassion in our own lives. The Transformative Power of Faith The transformative power of faith is a remarkable aspect of religious experience. Throughout history, individuals and communities have found solace, strength, and purpose through their belief in a higher power. Faith has the ability to inspire hope, foster resilience, and guide individuals through life’s challenges. One of the key passages in the Bible that speaks to the transformative power of faith is found in Hebrews 11:1 (NIV): “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” This verse highlights that faith is not just a passive belief, but an active confidence in the unseen. It empowers individuals to hold onto hope and trust in God’s promises, even when circumstances seem bleak. Faith has the power to inspire hope in the midst of adversity. Romans 15:13 (NIV) affirms this: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” When faced with trials and tribulations, faith in a loving and sovereign God provides a source of comfort and assurance. It reminds us that there is a greater purpose and plan beyond our immediate circumstances. Moreover, faith fosters resilience in the face of challenges. James 1:2-4 (NIV) encourages believers to consider it pure joy when they face trials, knowing that testing produces perseverance. Faith enables individuals to endure hardships, knowing that God is with them and that their struggles have the potential to refine and strengthen their character. It provides a steadfast foundation in the midst of life’s storms. Faith also fosters humility, as it encourages individuals to recognize their limitations and seek guidance from a divine source. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) instructs believers to trust in the Lord with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding. This verse reminds us that faith involves surrendering our own wisdom and relying on God’s guidance. It humbles us, acknowledging that we are not in control and that we need the wisdom and direction that comes from a higher power. Furthermore, faith has the power to unite communities and foster compassion. Galatians 5:6 (NIV) states, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Faith motivates individuals to love and serve others, extending compassion and care to those in need. It inspires acts of service and charity, creating a sense of unity and purpose within communities. The transformative power of faith is not limited to personal experiences. It has also shaped the course of history and influenced societal change. The civil rights movement in the United States, for example, was deeply rooted in the faith of its leaders and participants. Their belief in justice, equality, and the inherent worth of every individual fueled their determination and resilience in the face of oppression. The transformative power of faith is evident in its ability to inspire hope, foster resilience, and provide a sense of purpose. Faith empowers individuals to face adversity with courage and strength, knowing that they are not alone. It encourages humility, recognizing our need for divine guidance. Faith also unites communities, fostering compassion and motivating acts of service. Whether on a personal or societal level, faith has the potential to bring about profound transformation. May we embrace the power of faith and allow it to shape our lives for the better. Living in Awe and Reverence Living in awe and reverence is a transformative way of approaching life, and it is deeply rooted in the Bible. The Scriptures teach us to recognize the might of God and to appreciate His creation with wonder and gratitude. Psalm 33:8 (NIV) states, “Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.” This verse reminds us of the importance of living in awe and reverence of God. It calls us to acknowledge His power and majesty, recognizing His authority over all creation. When we live in awe and reverence, we develop a deeper appreciation for the wonders of creation. Psalm 19:1 (NIV) declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” As we observe the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, we are reminded of God’s creative power. From the vastness of the night sky to the delicate details of a flower, every aspect of creation reflects His glory. Living in awe and reverence also cultivates gratitude and humility within us. Psalm 95:2-3 (NIV) encourages us to “come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.” When we approach God with thanksgiving and recognize His greatness, we develop a humble posture of gratitude. We understand that everything we have is a gift from Him, and we learn to appreciate even the simplest blessings in life. Furthermore, living in awe and reverence reminds us of our place within the vastness of the universe. Psalm 8:3-4 (NIV) beautifully captures this sentiment: “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” This passage highlights the contrast between the grandeur of the universe and our own insignificance. Yet, it also emphasizes God’s care and concern for humanity. It instills in us a sense of wonder and purpose, knowing that we are known and loved by the Creator of the universe. Living in awe and reverence also leads us to seek a deeper connection with the divine. Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) tells us, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” When we approach God with reverence, we open ourselves to a deeper understanding of His character and His ways. We recognize that true wisdom comes from knowing and acknowledging Him. Living in awe and reverence is not just an individual pursuit; it also has communal implications. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) exhorts believers to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” When we gather with other believers in awe and reverence of God, we inspire and encourage one another to live according to His principles. Our shared reverence for God creates a sense of unity and purpose within the community of faith. living in awe and reverence invites us to recognize the might of God and appreciate His creation with wonder and gratitude. It cultivates humility and gratitude within us and leads us to seek a deeper connection with the divine. Living in awe and reverence reminds us of our place within the vastness of the universe and instills in us a sense of wonder and purpose. May we approach life with awe and reverence, acknowledging the power and majesty of God in all aspects of our lives. The belief in a mighty God transcends religious boundaries and speaks to the innate human desire for meaning, purpose, and solace. Whether we find comfort in the omnipotence, wisdom, love, or mercy of a higher power, the concept of a mighty God offers hope and inspiration. It reminds us that we are not alone in our journey through life, and that there is a source of strength and guidance available to us. In embracing the belief in a mighty God, we can find solace, transform our lives, and navigate the challenges that lie ahead with confidence and grace.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said democracy has failed to deliver for youths, 23 years after its return to the country. Gbajabiamila said this on Monday, during the opening ceremony of the Legislative Mentorship Initiative, a training Programme for young Nigerians. He stated that Nigerians need to vote for a leader that can manage changes, adding that it will be unrealistic to expect youths to remain faithful to democracy. “It is unrealistic to expect our nation’s youth to commit to sustaining a democracy that hasn’t lived up to their expectations,” he said. Speaker Gbajabiamila stressed that many young people in the country, have not witnessed military government, hence, cannot be expected to be committed to democracy without benefiting from it. He said, “Nigeria desperately needs leaders with the capacity and character to manage change. The consequences of the changes happening in our world today will depend on how we respond, the decisions we make, and the ideas we choose to invest in.” To address the problem, Gbajabiamila said “we must act quickly and consistently to include young people in the political and governing process. We do this by creating avenues for leadership development.”
