Hope it will not be selective and he will keep to the rules when it knocks on his own door as death is imminent Still remembered the law on social distancing & compare to what happens in state/national political party's group photographs recently.
CrazyCrane: She picked me up and I could feel human, we got home, I love my new home but it only lacked of grass. I could feel the presence of another dog in the house, I felt scared,troubled and nervous. She was definitely gorgeous,she sniffed me and walked away I guess I wasn't welcome or probably she is anti-dog social... I was offered water by my new owner and yes! I was thirsty. Few minutes later I was served my first meal in my new home. I was taken down to do my bathroom business (Poop and pee) It was strange walking the stairs,I took my step one at a time,yes, I was nervous and I couldn't help it
Somebody will have nightmares looking at those pictures?
kolajoo: Nasa and SpaceX made history by returning US astronauts from US soil to low-Earth orbit for the first time in nine years. It also marked the beginning of "taxi" rides to the space station, where commercial spaceflight enters a new phase. Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are now on their way to the International Space Station, It's the first time since the retirement of the shuttles nine years ago that an American crew has made the journey from US territory.
Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken are not only trialling a new capsule system, they are also initiating a new business model for Nasa.
The agency will no longer own the vehicles it uses but merely purchase the "taxi" service offered by SpaceX.
It's hoped companies other than tech billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX outfit will come in to expand the market. The aerospace giant Boeing already has a contract with Nasa to do so.
Mr Musk himself said he was overcome with emotion watching his hardware take the astronauts to orbit.
"I think this is something that should get people right in the heart, of anyone that has the spirit of exploration. And the US is the distillation of the spirit of exploration," he told reporters.
The new capability the CEO is offering will end the reliance of Nasa on Russian rockets and capsules to get its people to the International Space Station (ISS).
It was a point picked up on by President Donald Trump, who came to Florida to watch the launch.
"Past leaders put the US at the mercy of foreign nations to send our astronauts into orbit. Not anymore," he said. "Today we once again proudly launched American astronauts on American rockets - the best in the world - from right here on American soil."
Hurley's and Behnken's Dragon ship left Earth atop its Falcon-9 rocket precisely on time - at 15:22 EDT (19:22 GMT / 20:22 BST).
Meteorologists had forecast only a 50:50 chance of favourable conditions around Florida's Kennedy Space Center at lift-off, but, as luck would have it, the weather window stayed open and the SpaceX controllers grabbed their opportunity.
The Falcon soared off the spaceport's famous 39A pad to head northeast out over the Atlantic. After two-and-a-half minutes, the lower-stage of the vehicle had separated to return to a drone ship at sea. And after a further six minutes, the crew were safely inserted into orbit.
Hurley and Behnken are set to arrive at the ISS on Sunday.
They'll use some of the intervening hours to test equipment and procedures in their capsule, including doing some manual flying.
Although the Dragon capsule is a fully automated vehicle capable of finding its own way to the ISS, the crew needs to prepare for all eventualities and that means knowing exactly how the ship will behave in their hands.
Uniquely, the Dragon has no control stick; all flight commands must be entered via a touchscreen panel.
One of their first tasks in orbit was simply to name their ship - in the tradition of past US spacefarers, all the way back to the Mercury programme. Radioing down to Earth, they announced it would be called Endeavour.
Doug Hurley said: "We chose Endeavour for a few reasons: One, because of this incredible endeavour that Nasa, SpaceX and the US have been on since the end of the shuttle programme back in 2011. The other reason is a little more personal to Bob and I. We both had our first flights on shuttle Endeavour and it just meant so much to us to carry on that name."
Endeavour was the ship commanded by British explorer James Cook on his voyage to Australia in the late 18th Century.
GOFRONT: Do you remember the historic football match between Nigeria and Brazil in Atlanta 96?....General Sani Abacha was the Head of State then....Jim Nwobodo was the minister of sports while Bonfrere Joe was the head coach of the Dream Team. Nwankwo Kanu fully on ground as the captain of the Dream Team......
Brazil was the king of football, and they knew it, so Nigeria losing to them that night wouldn't be a big deal.....
Gosh!!!..... Brazil dealt with us that night. Till about 77 minutes (about 12 minutes to the end of the match) Brazil was obviously dominating, the scoreline was Brazil 3 Vs Nigeria 1....
Despite the Brazil squad including Star names like Carlos, Rivaldo, Bebeto and Ronaldo, Nigerians watching the game still thought Nigeria did not deserve such humiliation from the Brazilian boys.We had been beaten mercilessly. Nigerians became angry towards the end of the match; many had turned off their television sets....Some were shedding tears.... While few hoped and prayed that we would not be further disgraced with yet another goal.....
But the Unimaginable happened in the game. At about 78 minutes,Victor Nosakire Ikpeba Struck from 20 meters to score the second goal, Everything changed beyond the 3:2 scoreline....
Pressure came upon Brazil and there was a Ray of hope for Nigerian players....They became more motivated and began to fire from every angle....
Then another miracle at the 90th minute, Just before the final whistle....Kanu Nwankwo turned and flipped the ball over DIDA the brazilian skipper and it was another goal.......THE EQUALIZER!!!
There was a golden rule then....."The Golden goal"....the first team to score in the extra time wins the game....
Then came the decisive goal from PAPILO (Kanu Nwankwo) in just 3 minutes into the extra time and that was how the messy game became a message....
A lot can still be done this year to make it a glorious year.....
Covid-19 pandemic will go and everything will become normal again.The remaining part of this year is sufficient to define the whole year. Don't lose hope now it's too early.
If you are reading this,may your private prayers become public miracles...
Amen
This is Miracle of HOW DID IT HAPPEN Miracle of how did it happened will surely be for you in sooner time.
Ladylite: Wow, you have really suffered. But are you sure you don't have low self esteem?
For you to cope and continue with a burden of a man, with a man who is proud enough not to hustle.
Babe, you should really study more books on relationship so you know that you are not in one, you are in a disaster waiting to happen.
Don't waste your time. Walk away, he may blow later or become rich... It does not matter. Go and watch the movie ACRIMONY... Then you will receive sense.
You are in a relationship with Covid19 in human form. Pls have self respect enough to leave and stay single till you meet a man that complements you.
Please leave him as fast as you can based on below reasons.
1: I expected you to have been invited by him during his birthday if he is serious about you. 2: He has money to spend for his birthday but never considered giving you for yours to prove being the man.
barnny: Pls there is this question bothering me for some times now. It has become a constant headache during and after every interview. Pls my Dear Honourable members in Nairaland, Is gap teeth in anyway an excuse interviewers use to disqualify people from any job, Most especially on banking jobs?
I have attended several interviews where I am convinced that i tried during the interview but unfortunately ended up not being shortlisted. I am beginning to think that my gap teeth might be a hindrance to all of my dream jobs...
Recent I applied for a Banking job, Service Executive to be specific where I got shortlisted for Aptitude test for three times. Latter on after some days i received an invite that i have been shortlisted for Virtual interview which was last week. Early this week I took part in the interview were i was told they will get back to me through mail.
Today i just got a reply that my experience, profile and presentation were remarkable but However, they regret to inform me that I was not recommended at the end of the interview session.
Without been told I already knew My open teeth is behind this again. Pls help me out on this, if i should stop wasting my time, energy and money applying for jobs. Honestly I'm beginning to get depressed of all the emotional trauma.
The question is Should i stop applying for jobs like banks? Do I still have hope? How will I start imagine things when My age exceed their limit, knowing fully well that banks has limited age range.
Pls help a brother before depression will weigh me down. Below is the screenshot of the message i got from the recruiters and my gap teeth
Some gap tooth affects word pronunciations in some persons and this may affect free flow of communication during oral interviews. The worst is if such person stammers. The position you seek make require great eloquence and your interviewers may not have been finding that attribute in you. Why not start from a lower cadre just to enter then you gradually climb to the top while working on yourself.
Donbabaj: I could be happy now but the next minute, she changes mood all of a sudden. We dated for over year after someone match make us but this mood swing things continued overtime so sometimes I get confused even as i really tried managing the pressure. She's a nice girl, takes good care of me, buys clothes, cooks, always wants me to look good but the problem is the rate which she switches mood easily.
Financially, we are both average earner but I think she earns better pay than me.
For instance, recently we got a new apartment - 2bedroom flat but whenever I say something she doesn't like or she doesn't want to hear, she just reacts like why would I say such a thing. All the while we were dating, we never stayed with each other as we stayed in our parents house. Fast forward* most times, as the man, after switching mood, I try to pacify her by petting and apologising but she doesn't just want to listen.
Just today, we were playing with each other on the bed, touching each other (not sensitive part) and she wanted me to kiss her. So I told her jokingly that "but you know this is not biblical" as an advocate of no sex until after marriage. I have never had sex with her either. The next thing she said, "why are you talking like this" she stood up, went straight to the sitting room and slept there. I went to meet her there to pacify her again but she wouldn't listen.
Please note that I have not and can never beat or abuse her cos I'm a Christian.
I'm just tired. She's really getting on my nerves. Our wedding is 3 weeks time but I dont just know what to do. People, friends and family are already aware of the impending marriage but I'm afraid that if a lady can switch mood like this, who knows what will happen tommorrow. I cant sleep in peace...
Please advice. This is happening right now.
Why touching her romantically if I may ask you Somebody like you will flog a child & still come here to complain that you don't know why the child cries whenever flogged. One day she will carry her luggage and leave the house and your eyes will open.
Anotekun said "Taiwo had visited a sex worker and after a romp, he refused to pay her and the lady seized a phone he stole at the house he burgled a few days earlier.
“Our men got the sex worker and asked her to call Taiwo for him to come for the phone. Our men eventually arrested him when he showed up to collect the phone.
So if he had paid and his phone not seized there wouldn't have been this arrest You guys need to improve on your intelligence gathering and be more gallantry.
AnonPoet: The first of such classes employ the hit and run tactics. They look for targets of opportunity by tracking enemy movement. Once that opportunity presents itself they take out their targets from long distances, hop on their motorbikes and hightail out of the area FAST!! https:///obyYkgCQ9k
Sometimes it is traumatic reading what our organizations have reduced themselves to. Can you imagine the profile of the business they are closing down? We are saboteurs to ourselves in this nation. In this travail I see a hand of one business mogul who import this same end product into the country. Hope you know what I meant?
And what happens afterwards Have Boko-Haram been defeated We have been hearing this type of news over the years and now tired of this audio crushing of this and that.
Let us know only when u finally defeat them.
Should we start clapping or hailing by this? We have clapped and hailed enough.
igbowoman: It's actually an indictment on men.When u are still at your mama's houses at 33 dragging plate of beans na who go marry the girls?
Remember that most girls do hard to get until they pass the age of youthful marriage. You will surely be amazed if such girls narrate on how many young potential husbands they turned down just because of material selfishness. High bride prices and marriage lists in most cultures have contributed negatively.
