This is our problem. Glorify a big theif. Burn a small thief. Why should they mob him?? If only they know the amount he stole, and how it doesn't compare to whatever ''notice me'' project he did for them. Their eyes go clear.

triboelectric charging is same phenomenon as static electricity, while you might get enough voltage to charge your battery( uncontrollable voltage though with your biro cover and hair 'experiment'), how do u get enough current to flow?

secondly, no battery would charge with just the positive terminal connected to the charging circuit....ill also want to know how you'll determine the polarity of your charge since different materials produce different static charge polarities.

there are static generators that do more than rubbing of biro cover to fur though as they are made to produce controlled continuous power using carefully selected materials rubbing against one another BUT your unipolar biro to hair or fur experiment won't charge any battery ma'am

U are seriously on point

People don't have the time or the attention span to read any more words than necessary. You want your readers to hear you out, understand your message, and perhaps be entertained, right? Here's a list of words to eliminate to help you write more succinctly.

1. That
It's superfluous most of the time. Open any document you've got drafted on your desktop, and find a sentence with "that" in it. Read it out loud. Now read it again without "that." If the sentence works without it, delete it. Also? Don't use "that" when you refer to people. "I have several friends that live in the neighborhood." No. No, you don't. You have friends who . Not friends that.

2. Went
I went to school. Or the store, or to church, or to a conference, to Vegas, wherever it is you're inclined to go. Instead of "went," consider drove, skated, walked, ran, flew. There are any number of ways to move from here to there. Pick one. Don't be lazy and miss the chance to add to your story.

3. Honestly
People use "honestly" to add emphasis. The problem is, the minute you tell your reader this particular statement is honest, you've implied the rest of your words were not. #Awkward

4. Absolutely
Adding this word to most sentences is redundant. Something is either necessary, or it isn't. Absolutely necessary doesn't make it more necessary. If you recommend an essential course to your new employees, it's essential. Coincidentally, the definition of essential is absolutely necessary. Chicken or egg, eh?

5. Very
Accurate adjectives don't need qualifiers. If you need to qualify it? Replace it. "Very" is intended to magnify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. What it does is makes your statement less specific. If you're very happy? Be ecstatic. If you're very sad, perhaps you're melancholy or depressed. Woebegone, even. Very sad is a lazy way of making your point. Another pitfall of using very as a modifier? It's subjective. Very cold and very tall mean different things to different people. Be specific. She's 6'3" and it's 13 degrees below freezing? These make your story better while also ensuring the reader understands the point you're making.

6. Really
Unless you're a Valley Girl, visiting from 1985, there's no need to use "really" to modify an adjective. Or a verb. Or an adverb. Pick a different word to make your point. And never repeat "really," or "very" for that matter. That's really, really bad writing.
If you are visiting from 1985? Please bring the birth certificate for my Cabbage Patch Doll on your next visit. Thanks.

7. Amazing
The word means "causing great surprise or sudden wonder." It's synonymous with wonderful, incredible, startling, marvelous, astonishing, astounding, remarkable, miraculous, surprising, mind-blowing, and staggering. You get the point, right? It's everywhere. It's in corporate slogans. It dominated the Academy Awards acceptance speeches. It's all over social media. It's discussed in pre-game shows and post-game shows.
Newsflash: If everything is amazing , nothing is.

8. Always
Absolutes lock the writer into a position, sound conceited and close-minded, and often open the door to criticism regarding inaccuracies.
Always is rarely true. Unless you're giving written commands or instruction, find another word.

9. Never
See: Always.

10. Literally
"Literally" means literal. Actually happening as stated. Without exaggeration. More often than not, when the term is used, the writer means "figuratively." Whatever is happening is being described metaphorically. No one actually "waits on pins and needles." How uncomfortable would that be?

11. Just
It's a filler word and it makes your sentence weaker, not stronger. Unless you're using it as a synonym for equitable, fair, even-handed, or impartial, don't use it at all.

12. Maybe
This makes you sound uninformed, unsure of the facts you're presenting. Regardless of the topic, do the legwork, be sure, write an informed piece. The only thing you communicate when you include these words is uncertainty.

13. Stuff
This word is casual, generic even. It serves as a placeholder for something better. If the details of the stuff aren't important enough to be included in the piece? Don't reference it at all. If you tell your reader to take your course because they'll learn a lot of stuff ? They're likely to tell you to stuff it.

14. Things
See: Stuff.

15. Irregardless
This doesn't mean what you think it means, jefe . It means regardless. It is
literally (see what I did there?) defined as: regardless. Don't use it. Save yourself the embarrassment.

Whether you're ghostwriting for your CEO, updating a corporate blog, selling a product, or finishing your doctoral thesis, you want to keep your reader engaged. These 15 words are a great place to start trimming the fat from your prose. Bonus? You’ll sound smarter.

Kenyans, Ethiopians to start long races a minute later- IAAF

By Agencies, Citizen Digital
Published on  1 April 2016


IAAF President, Lord Sebatian Coe. PHOTO/File
World athletics governing body, the IAAF is discussing a change in rules at its competitions that will see athletes from Kenya and Ethiopia together with runners of their descent competing for other nations start distance races from 10000m to the full marathon a minute behind the rest of the field.

This, according to IAAF President, Lord Sebastian Coe will reignite falling interests of athletics rich markets of Europe, Asia and America in distance running.

“Already, commercial interest in events such as the World Cross Country Championships and World Half Marathon Championships decline sharply in the last decade.


“The proposals are not meant to discriminate against the great athletes of Kenya and Ethiopia but they are being discussed to rescue some of the dying events. For example, only one Diamond League meeting, the Pre Fontaine Classic in Eugene has the 10,000m,” Coe told Mail reporter, Olof Rapil on Wednesday.

“From having 123 nations in 1999, the World Cross had only 70 countries in Guiyang, China last year despite being biennial and competed in an odd year to prevent colliding with major events such as FIFA World Cup and IOC Olympics.

“The commercial market for sport is shrinking worldwide and we are seeing fewer companies and cities interested in bidding for and to sponsor these events. We have seen Poland host the World Cross twice in three years (2010 and 13) in recent times which is not a good sign for a wonderful collection of distance runners you will ever get in a single event.

“To be honest, a Kenyan or Ethiopian can easily gobble up the distance and beat any other runner in long races. We witnessed an amazing thing in Wales last weekend when Geoffrey Kipsang fell flat-faced at the start, injured his knees and picked himself to hammer the field, including our own Mo Farah to the gold!

“Remember at the Edinburgh World Cross in 2008 and the Olympics later that summer, Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba fell in the women 8km and 10000m finals, picked her self up, motored around the field and absolutely smashed everyone.


“These are absolutely breathtaking performances considering they could have broken the world record and for Kipsang in particular, running in harsh British weather of driving rain. This is the talent I believe can be better appreciated by runners from other parts of the world who have developed mental defeat when faced with these incredibly gifted runners when they see just how great the Kenyans and Ethiopians are,” Lord Coe argued.

To level the playing field, separate races, what are commonly referred to as B Races, will be organised in Diamond League and major events in short distances and will be open to Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes as well as those affected under the proposed new guidelines.

 

“It would be grossly unfair if we left them out of a share of the earnings in short races. We know they cannot compete with the Jamaicans, Americans, Europeans and other Caribbean nations. We want to rejuvenate the sport and see how for example, an Ethiopian will fare in 100m since I’ve hardly ever seen one run the dash even in their own nation,” the IAAF chief added.

“You can’t give a Kenyan, even my great friend David Rudisha, a chance in 100m with Usain Bolt, can you?” Coe quipped.

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has described
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state as a tout.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 9, at the 10th
anniversary of the annual Wole Soyinka Award for
Investigative Reporting by the Wole Soyinka Centre
for Investigative Journalism, he said Fayose
attacked judges publicly without any consequences.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop
impunity especially by the security operatives in the
country, Today.ng reports.
The Nobel Laureate also urged the government to
ensure the laws of the country are respected,
including the order of the courts.
He noted that the Nigerian military was in the habit
of assaulting and harassing members of the public,
which according to him does not portray the country
as a democratic country.
Soyinka said: “There must be an end to unlawful
detention. If the court has granted someone a bail, it
must be honoured, I don’t care what the offence is.
“Anybody or institution that does this can only be
compared to that tout in Ekiti. That Fayose, he is a tout.
He descended on the judges and attacked them openly
without any consequence .”
He therefore, challenged security operatives in the
country not to take laws into their own hands.
Soyinka also insisted that the report of the inquiry
into the recent attack by soldiers on the BRT buses
in Lagos must be made public.
He said the claim by the authorities that the matter
had been dealt with militarily was not tenable.
The colourful ceremony held last night at the
MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos. Erstwhile Chairman
of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), and Professor of Political Science, Attahiru
Jega, who played an outstanding role in the success
of the 2015 elections and veteran broadcaster
Bimbo Oloyede were honoured with the Anti-
Corruption Defender Award and the Lifetime Award
for Journalistic Excellence, respectively.
The award was first held in October 2005 to
encourage the development of investigative
journalism in the Nigerian media through rigorous
scrutiny of human rights violations, regulatory
failures and corruption in the public and corporate
sectors of the nation.

You have to be content with what you have.

You have to be contented with what you have.

Thanks.

you have to watch the word "be"
once it is introduced what follows is like "contented" just as you can't say
" it must be do" but you say "it must be done" take note of the introduction of the word "BE"

Genesis 38:8-10

Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also.

THIS ACT IS CALLED "ONANISM"
Guys stop ONANISING with ur sisters inlaws
