Monica Lee is a Malaysian artist whose stunning photorealistic portraits are some of the best examples of this style of pencil drawings. Most of her work features close-up head shots. Her subjects seem to jump off the page, almost alive

There are a two primary benefits of using pencils: They're inexpensive and require no training. However, like charcoal, they are messy. Drawing precisely in pencil requires intense control. Without it, you might create a silvery graphite puddle on your page. That's part of why the following drawings are so impressive: They showcase the artists' meticulous attention to detail and skill.

Amazing world of Art..!

It was a tragedy Sunday yesterday for the members of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere when they were told that their father in the Lord has passed away.

Ladun Liadi reports that the deceased pastor, Special Apostle Prophet (Dr) Gabriel Olubunmi Fakeye, during his lifetime was the General Leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere. The church announced his death yesterday morning during their Sunday service but did not specify what led to his death.

Prophet Gabriel was one of the prophets who spoke fervently against charging church members a particular fee before having access to the church. His members have described him as a man that will be missed by all and indeed it is a black Sunday for them. May his soul rest in peace.

A secure wireless network makes sharing files between computers and devices (like a printer or phone) easy. WiFi lets you surf the internet using a modem and router, without messy cables. We look at how Wi-Fi works and the gear you'll need.

WHAT IS A WIRELESS NETWORK?

A wireless network connects multiple computers and devices (printers, phones, tablets etc) together, without using cables. The devices "talk" to each other through a central hub called a router. This enables the computers and devices to:

Share files and documents.
Connect multiple computers to the one printer.
Enjoy multi-player gaming.
Load files from portable wireless devices, such as an phones and tablets.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WI-FI?
Wireless networks do away with messy cables. This leaves you free to wander around the house or office, while staying connected. New computers have Wi-Fi technology built-in, while older ones will require a USB adaptor.

CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
Most wireless routers come with a modem built into them. This enables all devices connected to the router to be simultaneously connected to the Internet.

IS IT HARD TO SET UP?
Not at all. The latest generation of networking gear (routers) comes with easy-to-follow wizards that guide you through the process. Simply plug in, follow the prompts and you're away.

WHAT ARE "STANDARDS"?

Wireless technology (Wi-Fi) is available in a range of standards. These refer to factors such as the data transfer rate and the operating frequency. The standard you choose ultimately affects your network's speed and its range (distance):

The top standard today is 802.11n.
This offers faster transfer rates and more range than the previous 802.11g format.
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE!
If you do not take the necessary security steps, your network will be left wide open to anyone within range. They could gain access to files on your computers (this could include banking details or passwords). They could also download illegal content using your Internet account.

Some, but not all, of the ways to secure your network include:

Change the default administrator passwords.
Turn on the encryption to scramble the messages sent over the wireless network.
MAC (Media Access Control) restricts network access to selected devices.
THE GEAR YOU'LL NEED

Router: The central device that communicates to all connected devices:

Choose a router with built-in modem for Internet access.
Also look for built-in firewalls for extra security.
Ensure it supports the latest 802.11n format.
Network cable: While wireless does away with cables, they offer much faster ADSL transfer speeds, so it's always good to have the option.

Wireless network adapter: This is Important if the laptop or desktop you want to connect doesn't have Wi-Fi capabilities already built into it, or to upgrade your laptop Wi-Fi standards:

It's important to match the adapter to the standard of the router you're using.
USB adapters simply plug in, rather than being physically installed inside the computer.
Network adaptors are backwards compatible. This means an 802.11g device will work with an 802.11b device etc.
Wireless access point: Think of this as a wireless extension cable to give you more range, so you can move further away without the signal being too weak.

Extra range antenna: Makes your router signals more powerful, for extra range.

Network printer: Connects to the network so multiple computers can print from it.

SIMPLE HOME WIRELESS NETWORK CHOICES
Router: A router with an in-built modem will connect to the Internet.

Standards: Aim for 802.11n.

Security: Make sure you secure your Wi-Fi network to ensure your files are safe.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
More range: Use a wireless access point or an extra-range antenna to increase the range of the network.

Network adapters: If your laptop doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi, you can buy a network adapter.

Muhammadu Buhari was born December 17, 1942 and he is a Nigerian politician and a retired Major General in the Nigerian Army who was the military ruler of Nigeria from December 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985.

Marriage is ordained by God Himself in the beginning to be between two mature hearts i.e A Man and a Woman and not (Man and Man or Woman and Woman)
The age for marriage for ladies is relative and depends on various factors ranging from culture, law of the land, education and religion. However, irrespective of any belief marriage should be between two persons who are mature Physically, Mentally, Socially, and Spiritually and this means that either party must be ready to take responsibilities of their actions when they are no longer under their parents.

Now, when a lady has attained some maturity stated above and still not married this can be so worrisome and this could lead to desperation which is dangerous on its own. To further comprehend this message however; below is an expression of marriageable age bracket putting into consideration what the law stipulated which is 18 years and above at least.

(A) 18 Years -25 Years...........Very Normal Stage.

(B) 26 Years -30 Years...........Good Stage.

(C) 31 Years- 35 Years...........Worrisome Stage.

(D) 36 Years- 40 Years...........Desperate Stage.

(E) 41 Years and Above..........Dangerously Desperate Stage.

Irrespective of the stages God is the only one that can give without adding sorrow. (Prov. 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.)Now, Marrying in an early stage in life does not necessarily mean you can still marry right except God Himself is involved and choose for you, if you fall between the stages C and E above your case is not hopeless at all because you are uniquely and specially created by God for His Glory, it seems too late But God cannot be late remember that sometimes the best is kept for the last moment and marrying the wrong person due to desperation is even worse than not marrying at all Beware! However, be glad because God knows all your problems go on your knee and confess your sins, tell the Lord your intentions He will solve them because for with Him all things are possible. He will recover for you all your lost and past glory...It shall be well.

TEN THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO AS A LADY WHEN DESPERATE TO GET MARRIED.
(1.) YOU MUST NOT STOP PRAYING.

(2.) YOU MUST NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHER MARRIED FRIENDS OF YOUR AGE.

(3.) YOU MUST NOT HAVE FIXED FIGURE OF THE PERSON YOU WISH TO MARRY OR CREATE A STANDARD FOR YOURSELF.

(4.) YOU MUST NOT EMBARRASS OR INSULT ANY MAN THAT APPROACH YOU BUT DON'T MAKE HASTY DECISIONS.

(5.) YOU MUST NOT BE TOO EXPENSIVE IN LOOKS EVEN IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO, BE NEAT AND MODERATE.

(6.) YOU MUST NOT BE IDLE i.e. YOU MUST HAVE A JOB (No man is ready to marry a jobless woman)

(7.) YOU MUST NOT DEPEND ON YOUR DREAMS OR SYMPATHIZERS DREAMS OR PROPHESY TO CHOOSE OR PICK A MAN (Dreams could be deceptive and can be manipulated by the devil)

(8.) YOU MUST NOT GO TO BED WITH ANY MAN TO SHOW HIM LOVE OR TO PROVE YOUR LOVE FOR HIM (He will dump you with negative passion and believe you have been doing same to other men)

(9.) YOU MUST NOT DISPLAY YOURSELF IN A SEDUCTIVE WAY TO ATTRACT MEN (They can only be excited by your looks but letter reject your attitude because every man want to marry a decent girl irrespective of their own waywardness in the past)

(10.) YOU MUST NOT READ INTIMATE ,FAKE LOVE STORIES MAGAZINES AND BOOKS RELATED TO MARRIAGE WRITTEN BY MEN OF LOW INTEGRITY WHO ONLY MAKE MERCHANDISE OF DESPERATE LADIES . READ THE WORD OF GOD FROM YOUR OWN BIBLE AND GODLY LITERATURE FROM TRUSTED SOURCES.

BEEN DESPERATE CAN ONLY......
1. Cloud your thinking ability.
2. Expose you to wrong decision making.
3. Enslave you to Devil's manipulations.

To further comprehend this message however; below is an expression of marriageable age bracket putting into consideration what the law stipulated which is 18 years and above at least.

(A) 18 Years -25 Years...........Very Normal Stage.

(B) 26 Years -30 Years...........Good Stage.

(C) 31 Years- 35 Years...........Worrisome Stage.

(D) 36 Years- 40 Years...........Desperate Stage.

(E) 41 Years and Above..........Dangerously Desperate Stage.

Irrespective of the stages God is the only one that can give without adding sorrow. (Prov. 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.)Now, Marrying in an early stage in life does not necessarily mean you can still marry right except God Himself is involved and choose for you, if you fall between the stages C and E above your case is not hopeless at all because you are uniquely and specially created by God for His Glory, it seems too late But God cannot be late remember that sometimes the best is kept for the last moment and marrying the wrong person due to desperation is even worse than not marrying at all Beware! However, be glad because God knows all your problems go on your knee and confess your sins, tell the Lord your intentions He will solve them because for with Him all things are possible. He will recover for you all your lost and past glory...It shall be well.

TEN THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO AS A LADY WHEN DESPERATE TO GET MARRIED.
(1.) YOU MUST NOT STOP PRAYING.

(2.) YOU MUST NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHER MARRIED FRIENDS OF YOUR AGE.

(3.) YOU MUST NOT HAVE FIXED FIGURE OF THE PERSON YOU WISH TO MARRY OR CREATE A STANDARD FOR YOURSELF.

(4.) YOU MUST NOT EMBARRASS OR INSULT ANY MAN THAT APPROACH YOU BUT DON'T MAKE HASTY DECISIONS.

(5.) YOU MUST NOT BE TOO EXPENSIVE IN LOOKS EVEN IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO, BE NEAT AND MODERATE.

(6.) YOU MUST NOT BE IDLE i.e. YOU MUST HAVE A JOB (No man is ready to marry a jobless woman)

(7.) YOU MUST NOT DEPEND ON YOUR DREAMS OR SYMPATHIZERS DREAMS OR PROPHESY TO CHOOSE OR PICK A MAN (Dreams could be deceptive and can be manipulated by the devil)

(8.) YOU MUST NOT GO TO BED WITH ANY MAN TO SHOW HIM LOVE OR TO PROVE YOUR LOVE FOR HIM (He will dump you with negative passion and believe you have been doing same to other men)

(9.) YOU MUST NOT DISPLAY YOURSELF IN A SEDUCTIVE WAY TO ATTRACT MEN (They can only be excited by your looks but letter reject your attitude because every man want to marry a decent girl irrespective of their own waywardness in the past)

(10.) YOU MUST NOT READ INTIMATE ,FAKE LOVE STORIES MAGAZINES AND BOOKS RELATED TO MARRIAGE WRITTEN BY MEN OF LOW INTEGRITY WHO ONLY MAKE MERCHANDISE OF DESPERATE LADIES . READ THE WORD OF GOD FROM YOUR OWN BIBLE AND GODLY LITERATURE FROM TRUSTED SOURCES.

BEEN DESPERATE CAN ONLY......
1. Cloud your thinking ability.
2. Expose you to wrong decision making.
3. Enslave you to Devil's manipulations.

LEARN HOW YOU CAN GET A LUCRATIVE TEACHING JOB IN AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL IN NIGERIA

Sometimes last year I wrote on how teaching job is fast becoming lucrative in Nigeria here on Nairaland platform though some folks disagree with me but am glad that numerous Nigerians saw the write-up as an eye opener in the teaching profession. However after that write up I realize that many despite the various teaching jobs openings everyday still need this information to support their interest and quest.

To comprehend this write-up however, you may first read https://www.nairaland.com/1517304/teaching-job-now-hot-cake .

Like I will always say that this write up is not to advertise any establishment or an avenue to showcase my writing skill but to give a helping hand to those that possess the burning desire to teach in a reputable school especially in an international school in Nigeria that pays well. I did not claim to know everything here but with my little knowledge in the field I believe someone life will be touched for good.
Now let me start by letting you know that I studied Geophysics and not pure education initially but I realized my potentials during my youth service year and I decided to develop myself in the teaching and mentoring profession moving on to acquire educational and professional qualifications including a PGDip Ed and M.Ed and other National and international recognized teaching certification and really today I am glad and happy for my decision even do it was almost late before the decision was made.

CLARIFICATION BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS AND OTHER SCHOOLS.
Before I proceed however, I will like to make it clear that it is not all the school using the word ‘International’ as part of their nomenclature are indeed international in the real sense of it many of them are not (AISEN) Association of International School Educators of Nigeria, although they are very good schools good enough to start your teaching career any time, we have hundreds of them all over Nigeria . But I will want to talk about the AISEN schools. Visit www.aisenconference.com or www.aisengroup.org to get the picture.

The AISEN schools runs Nigeria, British and America curricula, some of these schools run just British or America curriculum alone and they are all over Nigeria, they operate different salary structures for their staff and provide training for them both locally and international wise exposing them to the dynamic world of 21st century education. The method of teaching is computer based with the use of ICT and modern instructional facilities, to the best of my knowledge the salary ranges between N100,000 - N350,000 sometimes excluding accommodations and other benefits which may vary from one school to the other for subject teachers and even more for the position of Academics Coordinators, various departmental heads, Academic Directors ,Pastoral directors/Head, Vice principal , Principal etc, I must also quick to mention here that teaching job is not the only opening in these schools there are positions like Laboratory technologist/technicians, Pastoral jobs for House or Hostel parents ,sport coaches, Students counselors, Nurses/Matrons etc. apart from the medical jobs mentioned, all others must first and foremost be a qualified and certified teacher too.

Some of these schools include:

Nigerian – Turkish International College
Capital Science Academy (CSA)
Grange School lagos
Corona Secondary School – Agbara
St. Gregory”s College
Olashore International School (OIS)
Lumen Christi International High School – Uromi,
Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls
Loyola Jesuit College
Day waterman college ASU Ogun State.
Dowen College Lagos.
Atlantic Hall Epe Lagos
British International School.(BIS)
Redeemers International school Lagos.
Bloombred International secondary school Portharcourt.
Temple school Lagos.
Meadow Hall School.
Pampers School
Greensprings school
Lekki British International High School, Lekki Phase One

………….And many more that cannot be mention here. See http://titithedynamite.


WHAT YOU MAY NEED TO QUALIFY TO TEACH IN THESE SCHOOLS?

It is important to note that each of these schools has their own recruitment policies which is personal and specific to them, but I will base the general qualities you need on the following:

1. BE QUALIFIED AS A PROFESSIONAL: It is a known fact that we live in a dynamic world where things changes every day and teaching profession is not excluded, to work in these schools require some educational qualifications and professionalism and if your first degree is not in education then you need to upgrade by acquiring one, for example get your PGDip.Ed in addition to your Bsc /HND /B.Tech /BA, except you are a graduate of NCE, Dip .Ed , Bsc (Ed) or B.Ed .

The additional certification can be obtain in our various universities, colleges of Educations or better still the National Teachers Institute (NTI) and the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) the two mentioned last seems to be faster, cheaper and well recognized. Through the NTI you may be registered automatically as certified/registered teacher with the Teacher Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN).

Other international certification like the International Baccalaureate (IB), International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), Cambridge International Examination (CIE) SAT, TOEFL etc. Will be an added advantage for your quest; although, many schools provides training for their staff in order for them to acquire these certifications so never border yourself much on this except if you can afford it.

2. BE READY TO RELOCATE: You must be ready to relocate any time to any part of the country when the oportunities avails itself, as many of these schools are scattered all over Nigeria though we can find many of them around Lagos, Abuja, Abeokuta, Portharcourt, Ibadan, Offa, Enugu etc.

3. BE A CERTIFIED/REGISTERED TEACHER: Endeavour to be registered with a teaching professional body in Nigeria e.g TRCN and other relevant bodies.

4. PACKAGE YOUR CV WELL: So many of us miss it here because your CV is the first to represent you and when it is wrongly done even if you are qualified the job still remain far from you. These schools showcases good and well trained Human Resources personnel to scrutinized this. Let it always be known to them through your CV that you are passionate to help the children to develop their potentials and the various positive changes you will bring to the school.

5. BE CONFIDENT: Be sure of your self don’t pretend you know everything but be confident that you will impact positive changes to the life of the young ones, when you are interview never allow your take home or salary be the main focus but don’t appear too cheap.


6. GATHER EXPERIENCE: Little, little experiences will take you there because not very many get the job without any teaching experiences, some schools may recruit fresh graduate for training and empowerment but you don’t need to wait for that so gather the experience even starting with your NYSC years if you are fortunate to serve in a school, even then get some experience.

7. BE READY TO START SMALL: Be ready to start small even in that Mushrooms school you felt is nothing could actually be the stepping stone to a better placement gather experience from teaching and use the period to develop yourself academically as these will go a long way to prepare you for any interview with International schools it doesn't really matter how much you are paid at the moment.

8. BE INTERNET FRIENDLY AND COMPUTER LITERATE: Things are fast done through the internet nowadays because 95% of the international schools do their businesses through the internet, this include job opening adverts, application processing and even aptitude test. Subscribe to educational job alert as this will keep you abreast of the numerous job openings every day.

Finally, I will like to end here by saying that Joblessness could lead to frustration...Until you start to teach you wouldn't know you are a good teacher, make a move now and as you start small you will soon become large..! God bless you.
