Whom Among Your Parents Do U Speak Often With? Your Mom Or Dad Relationships especially with parents are dependent on how close you are to them. Some Ladies are closer to their Dads than moms,thereby talking to their dads often. For some guys,they're closer to their moms than dads. I talk often to my mother,'cos she's always been there,being the Pillar and bedrock offering supports. I could tell her whats going on,anytym. With My Father its only academics and financial talks that brings us together.. So lets read yours. |
5. A Simple Compass When Albert Einstein was five years old and sick in bed, his father showed him a simple pocket compass. Einstein was mesmerized. What force exerted itself on the little needle to make it point in a single direction? This question haunted Einstein for many years and has been noted as the beginning of his fascination with science. 4. Designed a Refrigerator Twenty-one years after writing his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein invented a refrigerator that operated on alcohol gas. The refrigerator was patented in 1926 but never went into production because new technology made it unnecessary. Einstein invented the refrigerator because he read about a family that was poisoned by a sulphur dioxide-emitting refrigerator. 3. Obsessed Smoker Einstein loved to smoke. As he walked between his house and his office at Princeton, one could often see him followed by a trail of smoke. Nearly as part of his image as his wild hair and baggy clothes was Einstein clutching his trusty briar pipe. In 1950, Einstein is noted as saying, "I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs," Although he favored pipes, Einstein was not one to turn down a cigar or even a cigarette. 2. Married His Cousin After Einstein divorced his first wife, Mileva Maric, in 1919, he married his cousin, Elsa Loewenthal (nee Einstein). How closely were they related? Quite close. Elsa was actually related to Albert on both sides of his family. Albert's mother and Elsa's mother were sisters, plus Albert's father and Elsa's father were cousins. When they were both little, Elsa and Albert had played together; however, their romance only began once Elsa had married and divorced Max Loewenthal. 1. An Illegitimate Daughter In 1901, before Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric were married, the college sweethearts took a romantic getaway to Lake Como in Italy. After the vacation, Mileva found herself pregnant. In that day and age, illegitimate children were not uncommon and yet they were also not accepted by society. Since Einstein did not have the money to marry Maric nor the ability to support a child, the two were not able to get married until Einstein got the patent job over a year later. So as not to besmirch Einstein's reputation, Maric went back to her family and had the baby girl, whom she named Lieserl. Although we know that Einstein knew about his daughter, we don't actually know what happened to her. There are but just a few references of her in Einstein's letters, with the last one in September 1903. It is believed that Lieserl either died after suffering from scarlet fever at an early age or she survived the scarlet fever and was given up for adoption. Both Albert and Mileva kept the existence of Lieserl so secret that Einstein scholars only discovered her existence in recent years. Facebook.com/scientists* Rules* |
Most people know that Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who came up with the formula E=mc2. But do you know these ten things about this genius? 10. Loved to Sail When Einstein attended college at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, he fell in love with sailing. He would often take a boat out onto a lake, pull out a notebook, relax, and think. Even though Einstein never learned to swim, he kept sailing as a hobby throughout his life. 9. Einstein's Brain When Einstein died in 1955, his body was cremated and his ashes scattered, as was his wish. However, before his body was cremated, pathologist Thomas Harvey at Princeton Hospital conducted an autopsy in which he removed Einstein's brain. Rather than putting the brain back in the body, Harvey decided to keep it, ostensibly for study. Harvey did not have permission to keep Einstein's brain, but days later, he convinced Einstein's son that it would help science. Shortly thereafter, Harvey was fired from his position at Princeton because he refused to give up Einstein's brain. For the next four decades, Harvey kept Einstein's chopped-up brain (Harvey had it cut into over 200 pieces) in two mason jars with him as he moved around the country. Every once in a while, Harvey would slice off a piece and send it to a researcher. Finally, in 1998, Harvey returned Einstein's brain to the pathologist at Princeton Hospital. 8. Einstein and the Violin Einstein's mother, Pauline, was an accomplished pianist and wanted her son to love music too, so she started him on violin lessons when he was six years old. Unfortunately, at first, Einstein hated playing the violin. He would much rather build houses of cards, which he was really good at (he once built one 14 stories high!), or do just about anything else. When Einstein was 13-years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he heard the music of Mozart. With a new passion for playing, Einstein continued to play the violin until the last few years of his life. For nearly seven decades, Einstein would not only use the violin to relax when he became stuck in his thinking process, he would play socially at local recitals or join in impromptu groups such as Christmas carolers who stopped at his home. 7. Presidency of Israel A few days after Zionist leader and first President of Israel Chaim Weizmann died on November 9, 1952, Einstein was asked if he would accept the position of being the second president of Israel. Einstein, age 73, declined the offer. In his official letter of refusal, Einstein stated that he not only lacked the "natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people," but also, he was getting old. 6. No Socks Part of Einstein's charm was his disheveled look. In addition to his uncombed hair, one of Einstein's peculiar habits was to never wear socks. Whether it was while out sailing or to a formal dinner at the White House, Einstein went without socks everywhere. To Einstein, socks were a pain because they often would get holes in them. Plus, why wear both socks and shoes when one of them would do just fine? |
MRbrownJAY: bro, you are fooling yourself by trying to impress a lady with some cheap moves. A) footing the bill does NOT make you endowned in any way, it only makes you weak if you do so for no damn reason, in the name of being a gentleman.....but here is a clue: if she is not a LADY, then why should you be a gentleman to her?! B) the BOLD man is the one that would not be afraid to tell a woman the LOGIC of this world, which is:" since WE are going to get some food, shouldnt WE both pay for dinner?". only a BOLD man can ask such question to a woman on a date, only a bold man can tell a woman to pay for her own and show how independent she can be. at the end of the day, it is all about making this gal have a GREAT TIME, LAUGH, HAVE FUN and hopefuly she wanna see you again....and paying for dinner has no effect on this equation (unless you are dating a broke ass hungry beggar). paying for dinner is the cheapest way to get to know someone and has nothing to do with being bold.Mrbrown,I Got what you mean, But if i may ask, What are The Roles of a GENTLEMAN on a date.. And besides, If she really was a LADY, She wont be gluttonous on the first Outing;but if she is,Its suggested You Tell am to Her face,that "you really have a healthy appetite, I think we should split the bill". .. BTW,i no be Iron wey dey Impress.. |
Rhymez: If I intentionally take her out, I will definitely foot the bill, but if she insisted on us going out, then I guess she wants to surprise me by footing the bill.Na so i c am ooo.. Afterall Na The person wey start am go end am nah. |
2buff: Have you overheard? describe the experienceThe experience is better felt than described. Just as Friends will discuss,He's always There. |
MRbrownJAY: many men initiate dates and simply take girls for a walk in the park, so your ideology is wrong (date doesnt automatically equals going to a food joint).......what you should have written is:"whoever is HUNGRY (and demand to go to a food place) should be ready to pay for "at least" their own damn food"true talk man, but if u're bold enough to ask her out, you should be financially endowed to foot the bills. |
I believe you're matured enough to understand the term Grow in The Spirit. all you have to do is love what He loves(Holiness) and hate what HE hates(sin). keep desiring for spiritual revelation from God and in time you will over hear sef. |
well, in my opinion, it depends on who initiated the date. but reaaly its not a gender thing. |
correct in a way but with few modifications with time. |
well, depends on its Author. I may not be judgmental, but I got some expectations. it depends on how we get along sha. |
still the same story, when the fireworks burnout, the reason for breaking up will boomerang. |
there's nothing bad in what he's doing. afterall, na him do the DEED , and na him own both of dem. [size=16pt]only REAL MEN do this[/size] |
Straight from the heart.. |
[size=16pt]THIS ONE IS SERIOUS[/size].. Shaking My Head.. |
khiaa: My sweatheart, it doesn't matter how much time you spend yourself involving in tasks like a job, skill or whatever, at the end of the day you still have to go home to that person, and if there is no happiness at home you will be miserable. .. Okay, could you be strong if not for your marriage, but for your babies,which I know are lovely?.. |
khiaa: Oh my love, there is no such such thing as a saint.haahah, khia, but there's someone close to a saint. |
bros abeg, I no get mb to check that site drop the letter here jare. |
khiaa: That is why SOMETIMES it is better to move on, why put yourself through hell, when the other person refuses and doesn't want to change.Khia, I don't mean to sound too perfect, but in a way, rather than go through hell 'cos of the actions of someone, you could involve yourself in something that's tasking like a job, skill, just something that will take your time and mind off Him. Find happiness in showing love in another way like caring for lost pets, orphans. in that way, your happiness wont be tied to a man that's unwilling to change from the road that leads to death. |
SLIDE waxie: Boring!Haba, bros u sure sey no be u cause the heartmelt? |
