Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by durobukola: 12:55pm On Feb 20, 2015
@bisi16

The answer is YES. I use a 2002 Honda Accord. Manual Transmission - I enjoy to drive, not to be driven.lol
Although it is not as rugged as my former Nissan Altima 2001, I have zero complains so far. I drive more responsibly in the Honda.
Just observe all the rules and you will be very happy.
Driven over 2,000 KMs across the nation in the past three weeks and no issues.
Enjoy the sportiness of the car.
Very very lovely interior (mine is leather seat) & a 6-loader sound system.
Luvinhubby just changed the ball joints n upper arm last weekend. The last time that was done was almost 2 years. I decided to change since I know that is the most common problem and I think the old one has really served.
If I am to choose between this Accord and the 2.2 you are talking about, before I bought the car I wd have chosen 2.2 because my perspective had been damaged by my dad who had lots of toyota, but now, I am already looking forward to my next Honda (my dad wants to buy this Honda from me after test driving it, imagine that)

At the end of the day, the choice is yours, but I would choose Honda if I was in your shoes.

Rear Lights like Audi q5/q7, sides look like 2013 highlander, front like honda crosstour, overall body structure like nissan pathfinder. Now they have switch segments completely into the already overcrowded SUV/CUV market. Anyways, more market share for Toyota to fill up quickly

Benin-Ore road also now qualifies. 182.5Km/h 2002 Honda Accord BabyBoy. Unfortunately anything above 4,000RPM the speed limiter kicks in and couldnt floor it further. v6 or v8 would easily hit 300km/h on that long stretch of good road

Traditional methods for statistical analysis – from sampling data to interpreting results – have been used by scientists for thousands of years. But today’s data volumes make statistics ever more valuable and powerful. Affordable storage, powerful computers and advanced algorithms have all led to an increased use of computational statistics.

Whether you are working with large data volumes or running multiple permutations of your calculations, statistical computing has become essential for today’s statistician. Popular statistical computing practices include:

Statistical programming – From traditional analysis of variance and linear regression to exact methods and statistical visualization techniques, statistical programming is essential for making data-based decisions in every field.
Econometrics – Modeling, forecasting and simulating business processes for improved strategic and tactical planning. This method applies statistics to economics to forecast future trends.
Operations research – Identify the actions that will produce the best results – based on many possible options and outcomes. Scheduling, simulation, and related modeling processes are used to optimize business processes and management challenges.
Matrix programming – Powerful computer techniques for implementing your own statistical methods and exploratory data analysis using row operation algorithms.
Statistical visualization – Fast, interactive statistical analysis and exploratory capabilities in a visual interface can be used to understand data and build models.
Statistical quality improvement – A mathematical approach to reviewing the quality and safety characteristics for all aspects of production.
High-performance statistics – For the biggest big data challenges, in-memory infrastructures and parallel processing can fit predictive models faster, perform more modeling iterations and use complex techniques for faster results.

The field of statistics touches our lives in many ways. From the daily routines in our homes to the business of making the greatest cities run, the effects of statistics are everywhere.

Statistical analysis defined

What is statistical analysis? It’s the science of collecting, exploring and presenting large amounts of data to discover underlying patterns and trends. Statistics are applied every day – in research, industry and government – to become more scientific about decisions that need to be made. For example:

Manufacturers use statistics to weave quality into beautiful fabrics, to bring lift to the airline industry and to help guitarists make beautiful music.
Researchers keep children healthy by using statistics to analyze data from the production of viral vaccines, which ensures consistency and safety.
Communication companies use statistics to optimize network resources, improve service and reduce customer churn by gaining greater insight into subscriber requirements.
Government agencies around the world rely on statistics for a clear understanding of their countries, their businesses and their people.
Look around you. From the tube of toothpaste in your bathroom to the planes flying overhead, you see hundreds of products and processes every day that have been improved through the use of statistics.

Of what use is statistics? What is the essence of hypothesis? What is confidence interval? p-value? level of significance?

For you to appreciate the power and extreme relevance of these concepts, firstly, settle it at heart that Statisticians are Decision Makers. They are rational, logical and methodical.

Statistical concepts are not approached from a silo/piecemeal point of view, but from a global perspective. The first questions to ask would be - what are we trying to achieve? What decisions are we trying to make? What factors will determine the direction of our choices? Should we go left or right? Hold or move? What are our objectives? Why? The right questions help to make the right decisions.

Statistics and Analysis runs and explains the laws of life...

Law 1: Nothing Just Happens. Also relates to Newtons first law of motion. A body remains in a state of rest or permanent motion unless its acted upon by an external force.

That is why we have dependent and independent variables. Independent variables are the cause, and the dependent variable demonstrates the effect of the cause.

For example, when Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) increases, bank lending rates also go up. MPR here would be considered the independent/explanatory variable while Bank Lending Rates would be the dependent/explained variable. Why? Its movement is dependent on another factor.

To be a good statistician, you must understand relationships, how to identify relationships, what drives the relationships, to what degree does the factors have any effect, does the effect make sense or should be discarded etc.

Without a fundamental understanding, statistical tools (SPSS, R, Ms Excel etc) cannot be of any help. With understanding, in fact, if the devil gives you data to model in the dream, you will do it, gladly...

Once again, happy new year...
PoliticsRe: Supreme Council On Islamic Affairs Condemn Nigeria’s Stand On Palestine Issue by durobukola: 8:20am On Jan 02, 2015
It would be advisable to read the whole story rather than gorgitate on a so called professor who lacks the understanding of the entire context.

New York (CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council, in a close 8-2 vote with five abstentions, on Tuesday voted down a Palestinian statehood resolution that set a deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Palestinian territories by 2017.
Eight nations voted for the draft resolution -- one vote short of the necessary nine to be adopted -- including Jordan, which sponsored the resolution, and three permanent Security Council members: China, Russia and France.
The United States voted against the resolution on the table and had been expected to exercise its permanent council member authority and veto the measure, had it passed.
The Security Council consists of 15 members, five permanent and 10 rotating members. The permanent five, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and the United States, have veto power to block any resolution.
The resolution called for an end of Israeli troops in Palestinian territories -- including the West Bank -- by 2017 and set a 12-month deadline for a peace solution, with two separate states. It also identified East Jerusalem as the capital of what would be called Palestine.
Palestine currently is not recognized as a state. In November 2012, the General Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to "non-member observer state."
Jordanian envoy: World ready for move
Dina Kawar, Jordan's ambassador to the United Nations and the sponsor of the draft, said she hoped the Security Council would have adopted the resolution because the council "bears both the legal and the moral responsibilities to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is the crux of the conflict in the Middle East."
Elements in the draft resolution, including the right for Palestinian people for self-determination, a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and an end to what it calls Israeli occupation were "acceptable not only to members of the Security Council but to the international community as a whole," Kawar said.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said no other country in the world has invested more than the United States in pursuing peace between Israel and the Palestinians, but said the resolution "would undermine efforts to get back to an atmosphere that makes it possible to achieve two states for two people."
Power said that the current resolution was "deeply unbalanced" and instead of giving a voice to both sides, only considered the concerns of one.
"Today's vote should not be interpreted as a victory for an unsustainable status quo, instead it should serve as a wake-up call to catalyze all interested parties to take constructive, responsible steps to achieve a two-state solution," Power said.
Australia also voted against the measure.
The Palestinian representative at the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, told the diplomats that it is "most regrettable that the Security Council remains paralyzed."
"The repeated requests for us to 'wait,' and 'wait,' and 'wait' while our people are suffering, while our people are besieged, while our land is being colonized, and while the two-state solution is being destroyed and the prospects for peace are evaporating, must understand that such requests are not viable under these circumstances and are unsustainable," he said.
Israeli: "Political games' continue
"The Palestinians have found every possible opportunity to avoid direct negotiations with Israel," said Israel Nitzan, a counselor representing Israel at the meeting, and called the most recent "unilateral" draft the latest endeavor in a "never-ending string of political games."
"I have news for the Palestinians: you cannot agitate and provoke your way to a state," Nitzan said.
Five countries abstained from the vote, including permanent member United Kingdom.
UK Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant told the Security Council, "We consider President (Mahmoud) Abbas a man of peace and understand the pressure that the Palestinian leadership has been under to act and their frustration at the lack of progress. But we are disappointed that the normal, and necessary, negotiation did not take place on this occasion. "
After the meeting, Jordan's Kawar told reporters that although she would have liked more consultations and negotiations to "come up with a product that would be acceptable to the 15" [member states,] the importance of this resolution was "to put some momentum and dynamics in the Security Council."
