He said USA and north korea, why are weaklings like Nigeria scared? If at all there would be a nuclear war, it wouldn't get to us as the world powers would exterminate each other within minutes.

Sometimes being weak has its own blessings.

I was in guest mode but I had to log in to correct this ignorant post. Make no mistake madam, There are enough nuclear weapons to wipe off every single Human (both dead and alive) in less than a month.

Nuclear weapons aren't like guns or bullets that are shot and that's all. They rely on chain reactions which in turn escalate to very dangerous long term effects.

Make your research. Distance is nothing when it comes to nuclear war. Only specialized underground facilities like bunkers can shield one from such effects. And starving to death is still another way of dying.

RedboneSmith:
Spanking is still legal in many first world countries.

Probably, but certainly not to the extent to which we do it here in Nigeria.

RadicallyBlunt:
Mr teenage biologist, all you've quoted is about husband and wife.

The op said a guy and a lady dating each other, not married couples.

I wasn't so daft not to know what to quote. I didn't quote because the op did not say husband and wife. A woman is not your wife until you've taken her to the altar. Understood?

What a laughable response?

So what applies to dating doesn't apply to marriage? Your analogy means that the Bible commands submissiveness only AFTER MARRIAGE? So the lady and the guy can act however they like during courtship and can begin to follow what the Bible says only when they've finally tied the knot?

What then is the essence of dating/courtship?

Sorry sir, you failed to make sense.

RadicallyBlunt:
Verses to support why the man is to protect and defend and why the woman is tender and to support. Can you hear yourself? Your sense is drained bro.

When u get ur gf, submit to her and let her be ur man ok?

RadicallyBlunt:
In which verse is it written that hair must grow in ur pubis at puberty?

Whether u believe it or not, God made it that way. No bible verse is needed for that. Except u made it yourself. Same applies to what we're arguing about.

ubunja:
all i hear is excuses when im expecting verses to support your first statement.
dont make me wait.

Ephesians: Chapter 5 verses

22. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

23. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

24. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

“Exposes your naiveness.”

That or naivety? Westernisation has its place but not when it comes to disciplining kids. “There’s no evidence to suggest [...], that’s completely anecdotal.” Do you think I’m talking based on statistical elaboration or personal experience and belief?

It should be said that oyibo parents spanked their kids until very recently.

The word "Naiveness" in that context is very correct.

And no, your argument does not hold water nor should be taken seriously if it cannot be backed up by facts and/or statistics.

Listen to yourself bloke, "spanked their kids until very recently." The fact that they once did it doesn't make it - by any chance- right. They stopped it... And Yes they actually made it ILLEGAL in those countries. Why? because it's wrong.

Little wonder Africa is behind the first world countries and by extension continents by a million and one miles. Thanks to cavemen like you.

Probz:
Not a lot of people on here will. There’s a fine line between discipline and assault.

And no. White people don't have culture, not really.

Your ignorance stinks. You need to learn what the word 'culture' means before spewing trash.

Your hasty generalization further exposes your naiveness. There's no research that says African children respects their parents than their White counterparts.

Spanking children all the time only hardens them the more. I prefer to actually be able to caution them using words and nonviolent means like grounding etc.

amamahdaniel:
why are you thinking from your anus?
gaudiola is winning with luck? your matter don tire me

Should have known you're a poor person to argue with. Shameful how you can quote just a single line out of the whole points I made.

And your impaired reasoning failed to come to terms with what I actually meant. I'll help you out though. I wrote "clearly with A BIT OF LUCK TOO." There's a difference between "A bit and Total" and note also The word "Too."

Now please go over the post again, this time more slowly. Good luck.

amamahdaniel:
where was he last season 3rd. Just accept the fact that English league is Just over hype. while he was coaching the best team then he can not even achieve 16 win and 1 draw in his first 17 games. while in Bayern Munich or Barcelona. I can imagine how he has win almost all the top 6 team in league and 11 and 14 point difference between 2n and 3rd. what a shame after just 17 rounds.

Oga you guys are just spewing thrash everywhere about Pep Guardiola making EpL look like a joke.

Last season where was he? He finished completely trophyless. If the premiership is really crap league, he should have hit the ground running from the very first day. If he's winning big now, he's simply upped his game and clearly with some bit of luck too.

EpL is ALWAYS more competitive than that shittty Two horse race LA Liga. Deal with the truth. Low self esteemed SPENDiola fans.

cummando:
Rip man. Though that RIP is plain hypocrisy. Because the man won't read it. Its a norm in this forum. Same mentality. #justsaying

Hungry retards would soon start commenting. Olodos

Back to the matter, I believe we should implement cyber security. The police deserves all the poo they get....and more. Policing is not just about catching thieves and extortion,its about verification and control of information. Because I see no way a bullet from a rotten ak47 will topple a bus. That clearly is an accident. And there is a 92% chance that the bullet will hit the tires and another 89% that it would have enough velocity to tumble. Enough ifs.This is a clear case of slander.#forensics is awa work o#
Again my sincere condolences

bedspread:
Hmmmmmm....... POLICEMAN SHOULD BE CASTRATED.....
But did he also tumble the vehicle??

lexy2014:
but y is d vehicle upside down?

It's possible that he was shot while he was behind the wheels? Probably when he was driving away?

Having defined Microbiology and some other things that are related to the beautiful course, today, we will take a look at the major fields in Microbiology.

Due to its vastness, branches of Microbiology has been classified into two which are
1.Pure Microbiology and
2.Applied Microbiology
This writeup emphasizes the pure aspects of microbiology and I am going to give a briefing on just about 6 of them. Even though there are more than that.

So under Pure Microbiology, we have

1.Bacteriology:- This is no doubt the most studied and most popular field of microbiology. As the name implies, it is the study of bacteria, their structure, classification, behavior and metabolism.
Popular disease-causing bacteria like Staphylococcus, Salmonella typhimurim which causes typhoid fever, Vibrio Cholerae which is notorious for causing the deadly cholera disease, free living bacteria and beneficial bacteria like the intestinal Escherichia coli are all studied under Bacteriology.



2.Mycology:- Mycology is the study of fungi. Don't know what fungi is? Relax. You have probably seen mushrooms before and even eaten them, do you know that all mushrooms are fungi? And technically Microorganisms? Yes.
Have you ever fetched water in a bucket and after some time you touch the base of the bucket and it feels slimy to touch? Yes, that's as a result of fungal growth (slime molds).
Also, Yeast(Saccharomyces sp) is used in production of beer and in bakeries to produce bread. Yeast too is a fungi. All these are studied under Mycology.


3.Virology:- This is also an interesting aspect of microbiology. Virology is the study of viruses -biological viruses -.
From the common cold which is a more of a nuisance, to measles, to Herpes, to the dreaded HIV infection to the swift killer Ebola disease and also Rabies. All these aforementioned diseases are caused by - yes you got it- Viruses. Virologists work with these tiny parasites which we fear so much, study their behavior and even look for ways we can use them to our own advantage e.g to kill cancer cells(oncoviruses).



4.Protozoology:- This is the study of protozoa. Protozoa are mostly free-living eukaryotic unicellular microorganisms. Free-living means they cause no disease, eukaryotic means their cells are a bit more complex and unicellular means they have just a single cell.
A good example of protozoa is the popular Amoeba, which is free living but can cause opportunistic infection. Another good example is the causative organism of Sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma. The lethal malaria disease is also caused by a protozoan, Plasmodium.


5.Parasitology:- Parasitology is simply the study of parasites. A parasite is an organism which depends on another organism either partially or completely for survival. It encompasses all the aforementioned fields. Only that it studies the parasitic strains of the groups.
.



6.Immunology :- In immunology, ("immune" meaning protected against and "logy" which means study.) we study the way the body system fights against these microorganisms. Here, we look at how various body cells organize themselves to fight off invading pathogenic microorganisms. Your body encounters thousands to millions of - name it- bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and their toxins in less than an hour and yet you fall sick only rarely.
This interesting feature of humans is studied in immunology. One of the most intriguing aspects of microbiology too.


There are more interesting branches of Microbiology like Nematology(study of nematodes), Algology/Phycology (Study of algae), Microbial ecology, Microbial genetics, Nanos microbiology etc.


Next, I will discuss the various aspects of Applied Microbiology. Where things get really interesting.

Khd95:
this is not wickedness he is simply teaching other what they don't know..me iam not a science student and I never knew all this before...someone has come out to share what he knows with other u say it's wickedness

Someone once said "if you want to hide something from a black man, put it in writing."


The reaction to this post explains what the man observed before making such a statement.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your support sir.

babasolution:
he is trying to condemn the innovation of these guys unneccessarily,do u even knw if wat is saying is accurate

There are books and of course the internet to check the authenticity of my post sir.

You can also help yourself if you're double minded.

Oksman:
Ignorance at its peak.
SMH

If you're skeptical about my opinion, you can make it known and back it up with facts. I'm open to criticism sir.

I had to create this thread after reading a previous post about two men who created a so-called "fuelless" generator.

This sparked a lot of reactions from some people who thought it could be possible (Team A) while some other school of thought were on the other side, A "fuelless" generator is NEVER possible according to the first law of Thermodynamics or conservation of energy. (Team B)

The thread almost became another one haunted by tribal war as "Team A" thought Team B was against the seemingly incredible invention because it was done by Igbo men.

I decided to create this thread to clear the air on the issue in my own little way by asking this question,

WHAT IS ACTUALLY A FUEL?

A fuel is ANY substance or ANY material that can be made to react with other substances or materials so that it RELEASES chemical or nuclear energy as heat or to be used for work. Note the capitalised words in the definition.

I think the ONLY reason that caused the Team A to conclude that there can be a "fuelless" generator is that a lot of them still think "FUEL" always means "PETROL".

This is a wrong conception. "FUEL" is a general term used to classify ANYTHING put into an engine to serve as a primary source of energy. Be it steam, liquid water, coal, firewood, kerosene, petrol, diesel, natural gas etc and even Radioactive elements in the case of nuclear plants.

Example:-
I want to cook and I need heat energy to do that, If I make use of firewood to provide the heat to cook my food. firewood becomes my FUEL.

If I use kerosene to power my stove kerosene is my fuel.

If my car runs on diesel, diesel is my fuel.

If I ride a bicycle using my own power, the food I had eaten(glucose) becomes the fuel which powers my muscles to propel the bicycle pedals.

In a steam train, steam of course is the fuel.

Bottomline:-
Petrol IS a Fuel but Fuel doesn't ALWAYS mean petrol. It could be any other thing used to provide an INITIAL source of energy for any machine.

Now, Back to the first thread.

Open-mindedness is key to scientists, it could of course be a new discovery -an entirely new one at that- which could change a lot of things in science(or engineering) as we know it.

BUT AS IT STANDS with all facts and current evidence at hand, A fuelless generator is only possible IN OUR DREAMS.
No matter how the equipment is constructed, if it works, there has to be an INITIAL input or source of energy of any kind for the rig to work. Be it sunlight(solar fuel) or even a battery.

R.I.P Human!

This is a constant reminder and an ever sounding note of warning that one time sometime sooner or later we shall give up the ghost.

One day, hour, minute, second we shall forever cease to exist.


Save our achievements (individually and collectively), legacy left behind, lives impacted and the manner in which we have permanently written our names on the hearts of those we were able to encounter at some time in our relatively short period here on earth.

Selah!

It is interesting to see that the rate of female pilots in the aviation industry is increasing daily. Good move.

Ritajovy:
True!! The staining helps for clarity.
The microscope is one of the great inventions. Helps us see the invisible; at least to the human eyes.

Yes ma, even though not all specimens to be observed require staining. The microscope is indeed a great achievement by man.

python1:
Microbiology is not the study of invisible or micro organisms.

Ok sir. Can you throw more light on your opinion sir?

PMPhoenix:
Cool

Thanks for your upvote sir.

emmie14:
Good bless her who conceive and delivered u.

And you too, sir.

Isn't it strange enough how Microbiologists claim there are creatures which we cannot see and yet they try to explain to us how these things behave? How then did they "see" those tiny little things?

Well, you are on the right thread. I'll be clearing the air on how the "magicians" observe those incredibly minute creatures out of which some of them are having a feast on your tongue right now. Like it or not Now back to business

All thanks to Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek, who is regarded as the "Father of Microbiology" and who also made significant developments to the first system of magnifying lenses which is now known as the MICROSCOPE.

Today, Microbiologists make use of the instrument, the microscope, to visualize the extremely small structures of microorganisms which would otherwise have remained a mystery.

A microscope is basically a system of magnifying lenses(glasses). Visualize a single man addressing a crowd of 10,000 people. His voice will be almost non existent except he uses a sound amplifying system. This system "increases" his voice so all can hear clearly.

A microscope works in like manner. It multiplies the IMAGE of the object(in this case the micro organism.) So that the observer can see what the specimen is actually like.

Microscopes differ in their ability to "multiply" the image of the object to be viewed. This is called MAGNIFICATION. Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek's microscope only had a magnification of 200x at most. This simply means that his microscope could only make an object 200 times bigger.

Today, that feat is nowhere near the microscopes of today which can make us magnify objects to 2,000 and above with the electron microscope able to magnify an object up to 10 million times.

This allows us to see clearly the concealed structures of these organisms. This is how a microscope looks like so you can ask a lab technologist to let you observe an organism through one the next time you are in a microbiology lab.

Up Next, we will analyse the various fields in microbiology.

Staphylococcus is a genus of gram positive bacteria. A genus is like a family of microorganisms. Under the Staphylococcus genus, we have species(I.e children).

Some of the species are Staphylococcus aureus
. Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus albus. Staphylococcus saprophyticus etc.

They are pathogens(can cause disease) but are called opportunistic pathogens because they are natural inhabitants of our skin but can become a nuisance if care is not taken. From little boils to pimples to acne to urinary tract infections.

It is treatable(like most bacteria) with the use of the right antibiotics prescribed by the doctor.

Please see your doctor for full diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

Warm welcome to the first (of many, hopefully) of my threads where I will be attempting to explain some concepts, terms, phenomena and general knowledge in the vast, promising and interesting field of microbiology to the "uninitiated."
Of course to the best of my ability.

This is so that most things you hear in the doctor's office or lab from the doctor, nurse or probably during your own research doesn't seem too strange.

Today I'll start by defining Microbiology. What is Microbiology? I like to define Microbiology as the study of the nature, distribution and morphology of organisms that are too small to be observed(micro-organisms)with the unaided eye only. Now enough of grammar.

IN LAY MAN TERMS, Microbiology is the study of "bacteria" or those organisms that cause disease. Even though that's just a tip of the iceberg of what we study.

These invisible organisms are called "kokoro tin tin tin" in Yoruba language. "Kananan kwayoyin" in Hausa language and "Obere ahuhu" in Igbo language.

In Microbiology we observe the behavior of these organisms, the way they are(their structure) and how they affect us. It is a wrong perception to think that these very tiny creatures are only capable of causing disease.

In fact only LESS THAN 3% of all microorganisms cause disease in humans. A greater number of them are actually beneficial to us. While the rest are simply indifferent(or free-living).

Next, I will explain how we study these beautiful, ubiquitous and inevitable forms of life in the microbiology lab.
