Queen Elizabeth II is head of state of 16 realms around the world

Salman bin Abdul Aziz is the sixth son of Saudi Arabia's founding king to become ruler.

Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the world's longest-reigning monarch.

Pope Francis is the ruler of the Vatican, which is legally a city-state.

Who's got a monarch

Japan's Emperor Akihito has an unusual problem: He can't quit his job . He's not even allowed to say he wants to quit. But his job itself is not as unusual as you might think. Even in 2016, 43 countries around the world still have a monarch as head of state.

REAL RULERS
Ten countries have a monarch who run the country, most of them in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia's royal family, for example, has kept a tight grip on power since the kingdom was founded in 1935. A son of the first king is still on the throne. Morocco, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain all have monarchs in power as well.
Further afield, the tiny east Asian nation of Brunei has a sultan, while King Mswati III rules Swaziland in Africa.
And then there's a monarch you might not think of right off the bat: Pope Francis.

RULERS WITH SOME POWER
A handful of countries have monarchs who have some power, but do not rule on their own.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who marked 70 years on the throne this year, falls in this category.
So does young King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan, a small country in the Himalayas, who's only been on the throne for 9 years. He and his wife Queen Jetsun Pema hit the international spotlight this year, too, when Prince William and his wife Catherine visited them during their tour of Asia.
The European principalities of Monaco and Liechtenstein, and the Pacific nation of Tonga also have monarchs with some executive authority.

RULERS WITH NO REAL POWER
Japan's emperor and most monarchs in Europe are essentially heads of state in name only, trotted out for ceremonial occasions but wielding no real power.
The kings of Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, the queen of Denmark and the Grand Duke - yes, the Grand Duke - of Luxembourg are all figurehead rulers. So are the co-princes of Andorra.
King Letsie III of Lesotho, a small nation surrounded by South Africa, is also a symbolic figure, as are King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah of Malaysia.

AND THEN THERE'S QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Queen Elizabeth II is in a category of her own. She's Britain's longest-reigning and oldest monarch in history. And she's largely a figurehead. But she's is also the head of state of 15 other nations, or "realms," as the British monarchy calls them.
Some are mere dots on the map, like Tuvalu. But they also include massive countries such as Australia and Canada. And then of course, there's the United Kingdom itself, where the national anthem, "God Save the Queen," seems unlikely to change any time soon.

Sugarcious:
Look at how beautiful and handsome they look...but see the kind nonsense they did.

U're nt qualified to judge them what they want they did, not ur business "busybody is my hobby"

I kw how to cook, nt to brag but am a better than average cook, and I do OK in prayers,
Why in the name of God will I marry someone who can't do either?

There's nothing wrong in looking for the qualities u want in a woman and vise visa

Most ladies think it's cool to look for a rich and handsome guy but it's nt OK when a guy wants a lady dat can cook and pray

Don't be offended by his comments, a "smart lady" will take it up as a challenge and learn how to do both after all they are both skills dat can be acquired through practice but the "lazy lady" will take offence


Nobody wants to marry a lazy person man or woman we all want the smart one

taurustm:
i don't think they can execute a US citizen like that. it's a pity Nigeria is disregarded as a country.

Brush up on ur history lessons, they've executed citizens or all sorts or countries in the past including US and UK

monnet:
It's shameful I pity them especially for
woman /lady among them our leaders our shameless

Don't kw Wc of our leaders u're referring too but did our leader smuggled drugs in Indonesia?

Just wonder how pple like u think

fiftynaira:
This got me crying

Water plenty for ur eye ni o,
they broke law in a foreign country for Wc they kw carries the death penalty
Pple die every day it saddens me but I've gat no single drop of tear for pple who commit suicide by firing squad

Are you certain about nosdra?
Morning all. Please, can someone categorize NOSDRA
(Nigerian oil spill detection and response agency)
under these:
Salary
Parastatal or Agency or Ministry
Contiss, etc.
And if the workers in HQ in Abuja collect the same
salary with those at the zonal offices in Lagos, PH, etc.

It's like u wished they get paid more.

Did someone promise u a job there?


It depends on what u do for them if u're an Engineer for instance u get more than an Admin officer

(CNN) — The first commercial planes in Africa to use biofuels carried 300 passengers between Johannesburg and Cape Town on July 15.
The Boeing jets, operated by South African Airways (SAA), were partly powered by nicotine-free, high-energy "Solaris" tobacco plants cultivated by farmers in Limpopo Province.
The flights represent a major step forward for " Project Solaris ," a partnership between biochemists Sunchem SA, fuel specialists SkyNRG, SAA, and Boeing, which launched in 2014 with the aim of delivering "local, sustainable jet fuel production" at large scale.
"This is very significant as it proves we can use this biofuel," says Ian Cruickshank, SAA Group Environmental Affairs Specialist. "It shows the industry is really changing. Four or five years ago biofuel was seen as futuristic, and today it's here."

New industry
Cruikshank says the flights will build confidence among investors, including the South African government, which will allow the scheme to scale up. He believes that producing fuels locally will offer major benefits and savings to the wider economy.
"We won't need to buy dollars or oil, so we will not be hostage to oil price variations," he says, adding that scaled up production of the Solaris plants would also create thousands of jobs.
SAA is aiming to have 50% of its fleet using the biofuel by 2023, which could reach 500 million liters per year. SkyNRG chief technology officer Maarten van Dijk projects the crop will be offsetting 267 kilotons of CO2 emissions a year by 2020.
Solaris fuel could also be versatile enough to go beyond aviation.
"We can also deliver biodiesel for cars and bioplastics," says Sunchem CEO Hayo de Feijter. "Fossils fuels can make pretty much anything, and this is the same."

Social impact
De Feijter adds that the Solaris crop offers new opportunities to farmers that have suffered with the falling demand for tobacco as smoking prevalence decreases in South Africa.
"Every hectare we plant creates a full-time job," he says. Project Solaris aims to plant 250,000 hectares by 2025.

Solaris plants also have the advantage of being certified by the
Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) , a global body that issues standards for sustainability practice.

"Solaris has very strong potential compared to other biofuel feedstocks," says RSB Executive Director Rolf Hogan. "It produces several harvests per year and a large amount of oil per hectare compared to other crops."

Hogan adds that the supply chain is ethical and clear of involvement in deforestation, child labor, or risks to food security.

"This is a viable feedstock and supply chain that can now be developed in South Africa and neighboring countries," he says. "It also helps to demonstrate that the aviation sector can develop viable alternatives to fossil fuels that support local development and the environment."

The Solaris Project aims to expand into neighboring Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe in the near future.

realnas:
They are members of the nigerian army sniper corp those outfits they r wearin are called ghillie suits ,they r worn inorder to conceal their positions frm the enemy .it takes a brave and smart chap to become a sniper

Those aren't ghillie suits,
ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing made of synthetic cloths, rubber etc,
what the are they hv on their body are leaves, shrubs and probably grasses for camouflage, I guess u can say it's improvised ghillie suit.

Don't kw why the government can't spring for proper ghillie suit, Oh now I remember Dasuki

We can debate dis all day but the truth is he shouldn't hv to tell u to return it b4 u kw u hv to,
what kinda an Ex give away a range without any strings?
If the case was reversed, What if his Ex has done same thing what would u want his to do?

U're abt to make a commitment of till death do us part no matter what. U should be ready to drink gari with him if dats all he has, after all u made ur choice to leave the guy with money.


Just to make my final point he doesn't hv today doesn't mean he's nt going to hv tomorrow

Mr. A is carrying the heavier load, I believe.

Why is this so?

The weight of the load and the weight of B are fairly at the same side.. (beyond the midpoint of the bar). The implication of this setup is that, the complex of B and the load would instigate a clockwise moment.

A direct consequence of this is that the bar at A would tend to be lifted up.. To prevent this from happening, Mr. A must send a force of the same magnitude as the weight of B and the load put together...this force must act in an opposite direction to the line of action of the weights of B and the load. This force would make up the anti-clockwise moment.

In conclusion, A is exerting a force equal to the weights of B and the load put together. Therefor, A is doing a greater work.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
U should really consider shooting all ur physics teachers or just abt anyone who has ever tot u anything in school.

It's common sense

ERCROSS:
By the principles of physics
Load is measured in Kg, hence it can be measured with either spring balance or beams,though i think we can use one of the vector laws to calculate that, but the coordinates are not provided...
I think ur question should be "who is doing more work" , then we can use the formula for work done= Force * distance... In that case A is doing more work

U're without a doubt conclusive proof dat Educational institutions in Nigeria has failed, yes who is doing more work is right
but for the love of God isn't it common sense? It's B
Simple logic is if they're carrying an office desk, isn't the man carrying the side with the drawers that doing more than the man carrying the side without the drawer

Babzilla:
By 'complicated' she means someone else has drilling licences to her well (and is doing a good job too)
Now you can wait for the license to expire which may happen sooner or later or never(in which case the license becomes a lifetime license) assuming she is the type that gives one license at a time (some give multiple licenses)
Or you can walk away there are many wells and many well owners who are ready to give licenses and drilling rights both long term and short term
Assuming she gives multiple licences then Ure in luck brah drill away fùck love
Cc Obontami

Dat is a very graphic description, but No no one has a drilling right I would know, she would hv to me and d objective here is to is not to sleep with her, she might me the one

Cutehector:
Lol dis is what I do. I associate with another girl and begin to bombard the friend who friendzoned me with enough jists about my new babe.

Hmmm Interesting...

Nova15:
You should walk away, but you can tell her why you walking away.

Wouldn't dat appear cowardly?

What's wrong with being a friend?
After all it is an excellent basis for a decent relationship later on or down the line because you never know, things don't always stay the same over time.

There is a lady in my life whom I consider very special. We are pretty close, a few times we've kissed on the lips but never sex. It has never bothered me dat she has male frds or dat during our friendship of 3yrs she dated like two guys and I guess it didn't bother her I did to (date girls not guys).

Now I've fallen for her in fact I think am in love with her, so I did wat came to me naturally and I asked her out but she doesn't seems to be OK with it. She said it's complicated and if it didn't work we'll end up not being friends blah blah blah
Now am not sure how to be friends with her anymore cos I feel If I remain friends with her I'll never move on.

My question are should I continue to be friends with her?
If yes, How?
If No, should I just walk away and say nothing or explain to her why?

Or should I just push more to convince her we owe it to each other to try

DeCypherMe:
Friendzone after sharing kisseS

Friendships these days ehn.
Seems she'll be more comfortable with being bedmates

Do you really want a relationship or the apparent gains that come with it? #justasking

Dude I've bn with her for three yrs if dats all I wanted I'll just wait till when she I vulnerable, and get dat without gaining a gf

STFUareyouG0d:
What do you stand to gain as her friend?

She has been so much to me in a long time.

Do u hv someone u feel comfortable around and feel free to tell anything to, no judgement, no bullsh*t the person just give it to u straight weather u wanna hear it or not, we'll she is dat person to me and more
