Hi everyone,

I appreciate everyone for a wonderful job done here, taking out time to share this great information. I am currently getting my documents ready for Engineers Australia and I want to ask some questions:

1. have 3 years’ experience as a structural engineer in a company that paid me in cash (no pension, no tax) and one of my career episode is based a project I did while I was in this company. I spoke with my direct supervisor and he said he is willing to give me a reference letter to include all the details required by Engineer Australia. Will this reference letter be sufficient as proof of my employment?

2. I presently work as a Civil/Structural Designer and I would like to be assessed as a professional Structural Engineer. Can I include this present position in my CV?

Note:
a.) The job description is different from that of a structural Engineer but somehow related.
b.) None of my Career Episode is based on my present job.


I will appreciate your response. Thanks all
You will need tax receipts or certificate, reference letter alone not enough.
A structural designer is also an engineer, plus it’s an episode to you been an engineer. Even siwes experience is highly welcomed as long as it proves engineering abilities

Science/Technology › Misconception About The Movie: MATRIX by blackbriar(op): 2:39pm On Feb 07, 2019
Why didn’t the oracle tell Neo that he was the one?

because he wasn’t.

The One was Agent Smith.


this is probably the single most widely misunderstood plot in movie history.

let’s take a look at what we know about The One.

Morpheus tells us The One was:

born inside The Matrix
able to reshape The Matrix at will
prophesied to be reborn in The Matrix
destined to destroy The Matrix and end the war
Neo was born in the real world and plugged into The Matrix, while Agent Smith was born inside The Matrix. Neo is able to bend and break the laws of physics within The Matrix, but only Agent Smith actually changes the landscape and alters reality within The Matrix.


Agent Smith calls The Oracle “mom”, after The Architect tells Neo that The Oracle created The One, and that she would know better than anyone who The One is. of course, she clearly stated that it’s not Neo but he has “the gift” (as many do).

The Oracle tells us that when The One returns to The Source, The Matrix would be shut down. Smith says that he refused to return to The Source when Neo killed him, and he was instead compelled to stay—to disobey. when Neo goes to Machine City—The Source—and plugs in directly, all that happens is that he enters The Matrix, like any other time he plugs in. it isn’t until Agent Smith assimilates him and turns Neo into a Smith clone—thereby unknowingly uploading his own code into a host plugged directly into The Source—that The Matrix is shut down.

it seems pretty explicit to me: Neo is not The one. Agent Smith is.

What does it take to apply as a research student?

An agent was charging me #2m for Japan tourist visa with hope of getting work as soon as I land because he married to Japanese lady that has company over there. Me I don't have such money to give agent.
Thank goodness I saw this thread.

I really appreciate the contributors so far.
my little advice

go to as much as many national universities website
search and identify the programme you wish to enroll in.
go through the professor or asst professor research background, is it same as yours? for exampele , is the professor research background on bridges,nanotechnology etc.
if and when you do find the professor of your choosing based on his research background, send him an email of your intent to join the graduate program in his university.
in the mail , attach your research proposal, ielts result and degree certificate.
repeat this procedure to many professor in many universities as you may find on the internet.
eventually some or one will reply you. that means he is interested in you....he will help you somehow administratively to smoothen things for you
but you still have a lot to do .
i advice national universities , they are well funded , bigger and have more international students.....you need international students to survive in japan. and national universities offer Japanese language courses for free.
a few examples of sch universities are Hokkaido University, the most beautiful university in japan..it a tourist centre and university join together.Nagoya institute of technology, kyoto university, tsukkuba university,almighty tokyo university(this is for geniuses but try your luck ), okayama university etc
research student programme is for 6 months , its like masters pre- degree course, where you get brushed up. for masters program you must attend an interview in person which makes the research program more necessary.

ganbatte ...feel free to ask any question...i will try my best to answer as best as possible

The Japanese government have dealt with the yakuza thoroughly that it is suicide to even think of becoming a yakuza now. They are toothless

They're asking all their allies to boycott Huawei's 5g. Japan just banned Huawei few days ago but the company is still waxing strong. [/quote


Japan banned huawei because of espionage as Chinese government has control over huawei. The iPhone X retina technology was done in japan by huawei.
Also Canada arrested huawei cfo for espionage recently.
During Obama’s administration , ZTE was als banned for espionage related issues

My apologies. Me saying "dont be stupid" doesnt necessarily mean that i called you stupid.

I was only telling you not to make stupid errors or mistakes such as what you wrote, that prompted me to say what i said.

The cheapest airfare to Japan (give or take) is nothing less that 350/400k. My point is, if you are going to spend that sort of money

on airfare alone, better make sure you are coming here the right way. This was the point i was trying to pass across. Sorry if you felt

i insulted you.
please advice them to come as students
6 months research students
2 years masters
and by learning Japanese through this period in school, you will achieve N3 level
jobs are a plenty, most especially for IT specialties.
Properties › Re: What The Building That Collapsed In Port Harcourt Looked Like 3 Weeks Ago by blackbriar: 2:33am On Nov 24, 2018
It collapsed on it self.... structural failure
1. The frame design is redundant meaning if one structural member fails the whole structure fails
2. A structural member failed, I am guessing at a beam to column joint.what naija designers do is design just for one case of beam column joint and superimposed on the rest
3. There should be noticeable deflections in the beams before collapse; like a warning. It shouldn’t have yielded immediately. So either the beam was under reinforced or over reinforced.
4. In conclusion; design error. The building failed in serviceability state
5. Rest In Peace fallen ones

arrestdarrester:
Could sabotage be a possibility then?
Design fault.

The structural engineer most likely did one joint calculations and superimposed for all the beams

A trainee visa you need a company in Japan who are willing to sponsor your trainee visa( 2 yrs renewable). They have to indicate to immigration that the knowledge you acquire will be beneficial to your home country after you are done. Of course government not so keen on specifics as they have a serious labour shortage.
Also many guys I know get married and acquire the spouse visa.
How do you get a company to sponsor your Visa? Stay tuned. I will take you step by step how to go about it
