PoliticsRe: Farouk, Emenalo Reject Prison Food by acume: 11:38pm On Feb 03, 2013
valicious1: Femi otedola was indicted in the crime & he s meant to be in that cell with them. He was the bribe giver for crying out loud.
otedola reported the matter, so he is the complainant, how can he be arrested, he set them up because they insisted on the bribe.so Lawan & co should face the music, the funniest part of it is that, they only put Lawan & co in the prison for formality sake, they will soon be released and nothing happens there after.
EducationRe: Accountancy Students Lets Meet Here!!! by acume: 2:04pm On Feb 01, 2013
SpicyMimi: This is a thread for all Accountancy students to share their points and views on Accountancy and every other thing or subjects that has to do with accounting, such as:


1. Asking questions and discussing about your most challenging courses or subjects and also your best and favourite courses.
2. Getting information about Professional Exams like ICAN, ACCA, CITM etc
3. Business one could venture into as an accountant after school.
4. Business one should never venture into.
5. Different types of softwares an Accountant could use.
6. Solving and answering of past questions.
7. Giving tips on how to become a flawless Professional Accountants.
8. Discussing about various issues in Accounting.
9. Discussing about things an Accountant must know or do.
10. Finally.....just discussing about Accountancy generally.

Purpose: Accounting is a professional course and so many of us *students to be precise* are not capable of handling it professionally in the real world, so we could get tips and learn from those who are already working as Accountants in the real-world.

My own question is this, Do you think Finacial Accounting as a subject its a difficult one? And what are the logics and tips in solving and preparing finacial accounting for a company?

And i also need someone to explain/expantiate more on:
Depreciation and Bad debts.
Depreciation is an amount that is reduced from asset as a result of usage or old age i.e if you buy a car for 1000,000 and the car is expected to last for five years meaning that every year the usage is 200,000, the 200,000 is the depreciation. Bad debt is an amount someone is owing you that he is not able to pay, that is irrecoverable debt, when you decide to forget about this money, it becomes a bad debt.

CareerRe: University Courses That Are Waste Of Time by acume: 9:40am On Jan 12, 2013
Idriswhite: People go to university to study a course in hope of future amelioration. However,most of the many courses that used to be hot cake in time past are whitewashed with the influx of many people who just learn the course outside university in a matter of months.Going to university to study the following courses many deem to be a waste of time.The courses are:
Computer Science-countless number of people are in the known in this field.
Theatre Arts/Music- Theatre arts is a free entry and exit field.Most people in the industry have no degree in the field.
Animal Science-The course isn't marketable in a country like ours where people give no value to the life of animals.
Philosophy-This course is more valuable in the olden days where people appreciate the thinkers not in our present time.The situation of the country makes everybody a thinker to survive in this country.
Political Science:Spending years studying this course is a waste of time and resources.People are procedure conscious when it comes to politics.how many political scientists are in position of power to regulate the politics of our country.

Which course do you also think is a waste of time that you can not study as well as your family?
As you can see, what you study does not really matter these days, you are going to university to acquire knowledge in so many fields, you borrowed lots of courses for wider knowledge not necessarily your main course, i discovered that a political scientist works as bank manager, the fact is that he has gained certain degree of knowledge in his field of study that can establish and make him somebody in life. Many graduates decide to establish business on their own because they have the basic knowledge required to stand out even when the business is not relevant to their course, we should stop discouraging ourselves from some of these courses as what you think is not relevant now may be very useful tomorrow.

Red: means danger and we have no possibility.

I will press green: the colour green depicts fruitfulness and we are also told that there is 50% chance. cool
It is good to take risk because you cannot make money without taking risk, but may i remind u the need to take calculated risk, looking at this scenario, it is better to press red considering the risk involved.
HealthRe: Can Doctors In The House Advise On Treatment Of Hepatitis B? by acume(op): 8:56pm On Jan 09, 2013
sharpboyus: Read about your friend's illness and I made some researches on what I can find on the internet. Hope this helps.

If you are diagnosed with hepatitis B, it is likely that your GP will refer to you a specialist, usually a hepatologist (a liver specialist).
Most people tend to be free of symptoms and recover completely within a couple of months, never going on to develop chronic (long-term) hepatitis.
There is usually no specific treatment for acute (short-term) hepatitis B. Unless your symptoms are particularly severe, you should be able to manage them at home.
You can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen and paracetamol and may be prescribed codeine if pain is more severe. Nausea (feeling sick) can often be controlled with a medication called metoclopramide.
If you are diagnosed as having a hepatitis B infection, you will be advised to have regular blood tests and physical check-ups.
Once your symptoms get better you will need further testing to check that you are free of the virus and have not developed chronic hepatitis B.
Chronic hepatitis B

If you have chronic hepatitis B, you will be symptom-free for much of the time.
However, you may need to take medication, possibly for many years, to prevent liver damage. You may also need regular tests to assess the state of your liver. This might include blood tests, an ultrasound and possibly a liver biopsy. This is to assess whether the virus is currently damaging the liver and how much damage has been done.
Medication

The main treatment for chronic hepatitis B is antiviral medication, which helps stop the hepatitis B virus from causing liver damage.
Most patients do not require treatment, as although the virus is present in the body, it does not always damage the liver. In some patients, their immune system suppresses the virus without causing damage. However if there is evidence of ongoing liver damage then treatment is required.
There are now very effective medications that can suppress the virus over many years and this can slow down the damage that is being done to the liver, allowing the body to repair this. However, it is unusual for this treatment to clear the virus permanently.
It is very important that you take your treatment as prescribed, even if you feel well or are finding side effects troublesome, as stopping treatment early can lead to drug resistance and could also lead to liver damage. Always speak to your doctor before you come off these drugs.
The two main types of antivirals are described below. You may require a combination of these.
Nucleoside analogs

Nucleoside analogs are a type of antiviral medicine that prevent the genetic code of the virus from being copied into healthy cells.
The two most commonly used nucleoside analogs in this country are called tenofovir and entecavir.
They have the advantage that serious side effects are rare.
Tenofovir
Tenofovir is available in tablet form which should usually be taken with food.
Side effects of tenofovir include:
diarrhoea
feeling sick
being sick
skin rash
feeling weak
dizziness
in rare cases, kidney problems
Entecavir
Entecavir is available in liquid form. The medication will also come with a special measurement spoon you can use to measure out your dose.
Side effects of entecavir include:
being sick
feeling sick
insomnia
dizziness
If you feel dizzy, avoid driving or using tools or machinery.
Lactic acidosis and nucleoside analogs

A rare but serious side effect that can occur with all types of nucleoside analogs is that the medication can cause a build-up of lactic acid in your blood. This is known as lactic acidosis and is potentially serious if left untreated.
Initial warning signs and symptoms of lactic acidosis include:
feeling very weak or tired
having unusual muscle pain
breathing difficulties
having stomach pain along with feeling or being sick
feeling usually cold, especially in your arms and legs
feeling dizzy or light-headed
having a fast or irregular heartbeat
If you experience any of these warning signs and symptoms, contact the doctor in charge of your care for advice.
Pegulated Interferon alfa

Pegulated Interferon alfa can be used in the treatment of hepatitis B where there are very high levels of the virus. It stimulates the immune system (the body’s defence against infection) to attack the hepatitis B virus.
The medication is usually given by injection once a week over four-to-six months.
It's common to experience flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature and muscle and joint pain, after beginning to take pegulated interferon alfa. Taking paracetamol can often help relieve these side effects and they should get better with time.
However, in some people pegulated interferon alfa can cause a wide range of persistent and unpleasant side effects. This means that treatment needs to be withdrawn and an alternative antiviral will need to be used.
If you start to feel any uncomfortable side effects of interferon alfa, tell your doctor.
Regular monitoring

If you have chronic hepatitis B, the state of your liver will need to be regularly monitored via blood tests to see how well you are responding to treatment.
Other tests may include an ultrasound scan – which is used to check for any abnormalities on the surface of your liver
The frequency of these other tests may depend on the results of your blood tests.
Preventing the spread of hepatitis B

While the medications mentioned above can slow the spread of chronic hepatitis B and hopefully prevent complications such as cirrhosis, they cannot cure the infection. This means you can still pass hepatitis B on to other people.
You should avoid having unprotected sex with someone, including anal and MouthAction, unless you are sure they are immunised against hepatitis B.
If you are an injecting drug user, never share your needles with other drug users.
You should also take some sensible precautions to avoid the spread of infection, such not sharing toothbrushes or razors with other people.
This is very comprehensive and well explain, it will go a long way to keep my friend moving,Shrpboyus u have made my day. tanx a lot
FamilyRe: How Can One Overcome Language Barrier In Marriage? by acume: 6:34pm On Jan 06, 2013
akumarism: I 'm a Yoruba man married to an ebira lady, our marriage has being blessed with a kid. In recent times, I discovered that she prefers communicating on phone with her family member in her local language when these people can speak and understand yoruba and english language well and knownfully well that I don't understand ebira. Each time this happens, I always feel insecured and I've sat her down and discuss this with her on several occassions but she refuse to change. Firstly,I want to know, is this feeling of mine normal and if not, kindly advise on next line of action. Thank you.
Guy, there is nothing wrong anywhere, its like that everywhere, how can you do without your mother's tongue especially when u have the opportunity of speaking your language. people derive joy in speaking their mother's tongue even you, except you want to behave like Igbo man which kills our local language, so relax or learn the language as soon as possible.

WebmastersRe: A Ban On 10-49K Website Design by acume: 4:31pm On Jan 03, 2013
databoy247: I totally agree with you. But its gonna be difficult to implement.
Suggestion? Like i said in some post last two years, We need to set up a registered association, and compel all web developers to register with said association. This association or union is gonna serve as a regulatory body for web developers providing a fixed "minimum" charge for jobs. The general public is going to be aware of it. SO if you give your job to non-registered developer, na u sabi.

Its gonna promote professionalism and give web developers their long due respect in the society. Atleast street barbers do have a union how much more web developers.

My 2 cents.
I totally disagree with your view, my take on is let us stop exploitation, the guys that charge lesser amount are still making profit, lets not be greedy in doing our professional jobs.

FamilyRe: Getting Pregnant Before Marriage by acume: 9:05pm On Dec 28, 2012
look, lets be realistic, you are all blaming men for this and that, the society is changing to something else, that is y men are skeptical about who to spend the rest of their life with, come to think if it, a lot of marriages ended up not having children because of carelessness on the part of women. My dear, if the lady in question is sure of herself and feel that the guy is the right person, pray over it and take a bold step, do your guy's wish, because i'm very sure that you cannot be a virgin at 34. You don't have all the time to start selecting men remember.
