Sagan would later write about the
photograph - and the deeper meaning
he gleaned from it - in his 1994 book,
"Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the
Human Future in Space."
Here's what he wrote:
"From this distant vantage point, the
Earth might not seem of any
particular interest. But for us, it's
different. Consider again that dot.
That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it everyone you love, everyone
you know, everyone you ever heard
of, every human being who ever was,
lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and
suffering, thousands of confident
religions, ideologies, and economic
doctrines, every hunter and forager,
every hero and coward, every
creator and destroyer of civilization,
every king and peasant, every young
couple in love, every mother and
father, hopeful child, inventor and
explorer, every teacher of morals,
every corrupt politician, every
'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,'
every saint and sinner in the history
of our species lived there - on a mote
of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a
vast cosmic arena. Think of the
rivers of blood spilled by all those
generals and emperors so that in
glory and triumph they could become
the momentary masters of a fraction
of a dot. Think of the endless
cruelties visited by the inhabitants of
one corner of this pixel on the
scarcely distinguishable inhabitants
of some other corner.
How frequent their
misunderstandings, how eager they
are to kill one another, how fervent
their hatreds. Our posturings, our
imagined self-importance, the
delusion that we have some
privileged position in the universe,
are challenged by this point of pale
light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the
great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity - in all this vastness -
there is no hint that help will come
from elsewhere to save us from
ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known,
so far, to harbor life. There is
nowhere else, at least in the near
future, to which our species could
migrate.
Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or
not, for the moment, the Earth is
where we make our stand. It has
been said that astronomy is a
humbling and character-building
experience. There is perhaps no
better demonstration of the folly of
human conceits than this distant
image of our tiny world.
To me, it underscores our
responsibility to deal more kindly
with one another and to preserve
and cherish the pale blue dot, the
only home we've ever known."

sirphemzz:

what I meant was that is it only waec cert that we should send or merge transcript with it and send

merge it with transcript when submitting to uoft and mcgill

sirphemzz:
is it only waec we are to send

i don't understand your question

SlimHan:
yes i did. I sent them my waec certificate.
Can you please send me the e-mail address you sent the PIN to. Thanks

admissions.inquiry@ubc.ca

SlimHan:
1. I sent WAEC PIN to UBC since last tuesday and yet to get a response from them. I would like to know how many days it take to get a confirmation cos it has not been updated on my SSC.
2. Do i need to send the waec pin to UofT and Mcgill too?

Thanks.


cc blisylvester, accidentalgenius

i got a confirmation that same day and it was updated on my ssc about a week later. Uoft and mcgill havent said anything about scratch cards. To the best of my knowledge its just the certificate you submit if thats what you have. Also, hope you included your ubc number, year and month of waec exam when you sent your card details to them.

Just got an update on my SSC. *your file has been updated and is ready for evaluation. We will contact you if we require any additional information. Please check your SSC regularly for more updates.* anyone else has this update for UBC?

on the other hand, your happiness and that of your kids are very important. if u feel a seperation will bring u more happiness, then do get a divorce. one can only compromise so much before it become toxic to them

how did things get this bad?!.

truth is, things can only improve if your husband is willing to be more loving and commited towards you as you are to him.

i'd say you should talk to him about seeing a marriage councellor together. if he is willing to do that and is commited to it, atleast thats a step in the right direction.

its the will and effort that matters.

im not married.

efia12:
Hello!
I applied to univ. Of Toronto. My referees have sent their references. I've not received any mail from them after my referees sent their reference. Earlier they sent me a message that my application has been submitted .what next?when will I hear from them

you'll hear from them when a decision is made. Which'll be around march

blisylvester:
the same with me but didn't receive any confirmation from them

i forgot to add that my name and UBC number was in the mail i sent

blisylvester:
When did you submit you details?

four days ago. Sirphemzz, unfortunately my phone went for a swim a few days ago. I cant screen grab with what im using now

blisylvester:
To which email did you send it to? Is it the same email that requested for your waec details? Was the details the only thing you sent?
Also how long did it take for them to upload your waec results to your SSC profile?

i sent it to the same email they requested it from. I just replied to the mail. Pin, serial number, examination number. Month of waec exam and year. That what i sent. They responded within 3 hours that theyve updated it. But it hasnt been reflected on my ssc yet

Pidgin2:


If only I could dash you some wisdom I would do ASAP but you obviously can't be helped as you think you are the sole custodian of knowledge.

God speaks to us from within but you can't understand this because you refer to Him as imaginary. I stand by my words regardless, I will do whatever He tells me to do even if it means doing what Abraham did to Isaac. If this is insanity to you then so be it, to me and other believers it is obedience but I 100% don't expect any of you atheist to understand, it is beyond your comprehension

lol wait lemme get this striaght. You will kill your child or anyone your imaginary friend tells you to kill? Wow i've just seen what crazy looks like. You're a murderer waiting to happen!!! People like you should be locked up! I mean the fvck!? And to think your glorious heaven will be filled with people like you ready to kill others at a command.

Pastafarian:


I was baptized in his noodliness

and his holy sauce descended on me like a dove and landed on my head

did this sign follow you too?

oh indeed. It did. And i began to speak in meatballs. i have since devoted my life to spreading the gospel of the flying spaghetti. I pray, fast and do the best i can to make spaghettiland when i die. i do not wish to be thrown into the pits of the evil sausages

plaetton:

Funny.

I have said that I am a born again PastaFarian, but no one is taking me serious.
I wonder why .

were u baptized by his holy noodleliness?

Haha u guys are killing me atheist invasion

Fiyinfoluwa20:


I cannot pretend, that's why I am not committed to organized religion again, too many inconsistencies.

one can only compromise so much before it becomes harmful to them. let her know you cannot do what shes softly asking u to. religion is a big issue. like she said, she wants to get married to someone who sees the world like she does(someone intolerant who looks down on other religion and uplifts theirs). youre liberal. she isnt. this will cause problems.

hi guys. i applied for undergrad studies to faculty of science as well as faculty of applied science, ubc, vancouver. Got grades of b2 in math and b3 in english, physics and chemistry. Would love to know what my chances of being admitted are.

samy0001:
thanks alot everyone. i really appreciate ur help. pls i dint attach my waec result but it was stated on d transcript. hope no problem with dat for u of t

you were to merge your waec and transcriot as one pdf and upload it. those were the instructions

Successjoy:
Please i need to send my scratchcard pin to UBC but i don't know if i should open it and the scan to them or type out the pins and send to them through e-mail?

Also, can i use a old scratchcard (2014) or buy new one? Money must be managed

i scratched mine. typed in the details and sent to them through mail.

tofannyx:

we'll be contacted through mail.

tofannyx:
i tried it a minute ago
its not working...........
i was shown the same page......that i should put in my email address i used in registering to reset my password

applications are closed. i dont think youll be able to submit an application again

timoteus:


In ur previous post the words you used were "cursed"and "made".
"Allow" is much better. Nonetheless is God directly responsible for Job's afflictions

oh yes he is. if u allow me rape your daughter in your presence, and you do nothing. youre an accomplice because youre indirectly encouraging me to keep doing what im doing. an accomplice by definition is someone DIRECTLY involved in a criminal activity

timoteus:

quote the verse you got that from

yahweh ALLOWED job suffer to prove a point to lucifer. job2:6 to whatever.

FMary:
It's not all about healing, and believing it's all about healing leads us to fake miracle workers

Even Jesus could could have saved himself from the Cross.......

hypocrisy and another excuse.

timoteus:

I'm amused God didn't curse him Weda you believe it or not, just don't change the script

lol yahweh made job suffer to prove a point to lucifer. see it as it is.

timoteus:
This is my second time in the religion section.
Frankly I'm disappointed at most of the comments, see manners of unbelieve, it's funny.

My favourite bible villian is the devil
The guy dealt with Job

actually, it was yahweh who cursed him. just to prove a point to lucifer according to your bible story.

MrMontella:
with all the christ in him.. He cant heal the poor girl

i was wondering too

Daboywizzy:
That's what I said

oh aiit.

Daboywizzy

what we have here is UBC informing you that youve been nominated for the scholarship by the nominating agency you used. and that you should make corrections with your housing application because we were not told to select housing application yet. if you are admitted and selected for the scholarship then they will guide u on how to apply for the housing. thats the message this mail is trying to get across to u not that youve been awarded the scholarship. UBC admission and scholarship decisions come out march to may.

Kathique:
Please guys after submitting the nomination package did ur application status on SSC UBC change? Please I need help. Thanks! I still have not gotten a confirmation email. Should I panic

my status on SSC changed to application submitted. I checked my message center and saw the same message i received on my email which was to provide scratch card details. No need to panic yet.
