Health / Re: The Prize Of “Delivering Like The Hebrew Women”- Nigerian Health Blog by shocks(m): 1:36pm On Jul 28, 2019 |
Naijafull19: That is not the matter in question here. The issue is that a lie told to Pharaoh in order to save the Hebrew babies from death has been taken out of context to sound like a doctrine of child birth. I am a Christian, not a skeptic and what I just quoted is the Bible as inspired by God written for us. Let's not use a verse of scripture to teach what it is not teaching at all. That's how the Christian faith comes under attack. I am not arguing about the sedentary life of Egyptians vs the active life of Hebrews, that is very evident. What I am saying is that we should not pick one verse and make it look like it is teaching something else. 2 Likes |

Did you read the verses before it? The Midwives LIED to Pharaoh. They got there and attended to the birth but claimed that the Hebrews gave birth before they got there. My point is that the Hebrew Women birth thing was a story made up by the midwives so they could save the babies. Kindly read it the whole chapter from beginning. Naijafull19: 4 Likes |

joyfullyjoyous: As a matter of fact not really, they gave birth like anyone else. The midwives were disobeying Pharaoh's orders to kill male Hebrew babies at birth so they came up with an excuse to give Pharaoh for disobeying his orders. After attending to the birth, they would save the baby boys then come back to Pharaoh with a story, that the Hebrew women were more agile or fit so they had already given birth before they (the midwives) got to them. Exodus 1:16-21 [16]And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. [17]But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. [18]And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? [19]And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. [20]Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. [21]And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 3 Likes |

Growing up in the early 80s on Jattu road, not too far from that very spot, I was practically weaned on stories of bush babies and vanishing old women. This post is supposed to fill me with nostalgia, but it comes with a little worry that not much has changed since then, as far as this bush baby legend is concerned 1 Like 1 Share |

hammer6F:He would also need to work on defense and evasive speed. As much as I think he should work on raw punching power and speed, he should also be ready to avoid some real heavy blows. |
Business / Re: Femi Otedola Celebrates Anthony Joshua's Victory by shocks(m): 11:01am On Apr 03, 2018 |
lestat:I kind of feel the same way. Perhaps it's because I have gotten in the way of comparing every champ to the likes of Ali and Marciano, men who usually fought with the odds of reach, weight, sheer brute strength, youth and experience stacked against them and yet still went the distance and won. I could be wrong but I think Joshua is still fighting below his class. He does have a unique "don't mess with my face" style though. |

Career / How Your Social Media Posts Can Make Or Break Your Career by shocks(m): 5:01pm On Jun 19, 2015 |
I recently saw this article on Linkedin. It is written by Sarah Socha, an IT sales recruitment specialist. I found it very enlightening. I hope you do too. The link at the end of this post directs you to the full article and other related ones. ................................................................................................................ Many people argue online privacy is a myth. As the internet strives to make the world a more open community, you need to bear in mind that you are on show to employers too not just your followers or friends. Don't let them find something you don't want them to see! Ok, so what is good social media etiquette? Let’s think about the 3 big networks: This is a professional network. Everything you post here should be of a professional nature, especially because it is habitually an employer’s first port of call after reading your CV. Treat your LinkedIn like a kind of digital CV, but with a bit more character to it. Plus, make sure your career history on your CV matches up with what you say on LinkedIn. Recently this cost one of our candidates an interview, because he’d neglected to tell the full story on his CV. Having said this, a little office banter never hurt anyone and one or two FJ mavericks can be seen posting bad jokes nearly every lunchtime (not naming any names of course). Really, though, very little of what you do outside of work should appear on your LinkedIn. Be weary of irrelevant posts! Facebook and Twitter hinge on mutual interests; LinkedIn hinges on mutual career ties. With so many industry-specific groups and industry-related articles I think this site is best used to leverage your own career. Risky territory. If you’re the kind of person who likes to have a moan about work make sure all of your privacy settings are turned on. If these aren't all locked down, employers could discover things that will jeopardize your chances, so don’t make it easier for them. Just be a bit streetwise. Case in point: a client I’m currently working with is looking to replace an employee who keeps posting updates when they’re ‘ill.’ Another tiring day at the golf course? Not very savvy. You could always have a work and personal account, as you shouldn’t feel like you have to censor yourself. Less risky. Have a laugh! Twitter is much more light-hearted. Most people I know have a work and personal account, but this site is more forgiving of silliness and most employers will recognize that. Again, just make sure you’d be comfortable with a prospective employer seeing your tweets. If you're swearing in every other Tweet, for example, you're going to look dead unprofessional. Essentially Twitter is a live feed of real time updates, so it’s the perfect place to voice your opinion on news as it happens. Especially news related to your field, which looks great from an employer’s perspective. Candidates who are engaged are an asset to any team. Please see also another well related social post of mine, " could your selfie cost you your career" for more hints and tips on how to be a professional social media expert https://www./social-media-etiquette-dont-let-your-posts-cost-you-career-socha |
