Why not if the obvious cultural differences ain't going to be an issue

I'd date a Mongolian for who she is not because of where she is from

The Vatican has suspended a senior German Church leader dubbed the "bishop of bling" by the media over his alleged lavish spending.

The Bishop of Limburg, Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, is accused of spending over 31m euros (£26m; $42m) on renovating his official residence.

The Vatican said it deemed "appropriate... a period of leave from the diocese" for the bishop.

The suspension comes two days after he met the Pope to discuss the scandal.

"A situation has been created in which the bishop can no longer exercise his episcopal duties", a Vatican statement said.

The bishop - and his spending habits - had become infamous in Germany, where many people pay tax to the Catholic Church.

Calls were made for the Bishop to resign after he was accused of lying under oath about his spending.
The Bishop of Limburg Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst There is no surprise in Rome that the Vatican has ordered the Bishop's suspension from his duties, correspondents say

He was criticised for a first-class flight to India to visit the poor.

But his official residence is at the heart of the criticism, after originally being costed at 5.5m euros.

German media are reporting that the residence had been fitted with a bath that cost 15,000 euros, a conference table for 25,000 euros and a private chapel that cost 2.9m euros.

The allegations have stoked controversy among Catholics in Germany, where five centuries ago Martin Luther launched the Reformation in Europe in response to what he said were excesses and abuses within the Church.

The BBC's Alan Johnston, in Rome, says all this was bound to play badly with the new Pope, who has repeatedly expressed his disapproval of senior clerics whose life-styles seem a little too lavish.

There is no surprise in Rome that the Vatican has ordered the Bishop's suspension from his duties while the spending row is investigated, our correspondent adds.

A spokesman for the German Chancellor who is the daughter of a Protestant pastor, Steffen Seibert said that she had expressed "hope that there will be an answer for believers, for people's confidence in their Church".

In his absence, the Bishop's diocese will be administered by a vicar.

That's why you have to hire a wedding planner to worry about all 'em risks for you.

Ok think about it this way, your laptop has the same wi fi connectivity functionality and you will have to connect to the internet with a public profile setting for your computer or laptop to become potentially vulnerable to e-attacks.

New CPU's have in built wi fi functionality unlike old ones that you would be expected to use a usb modem for making a wi fi connection

All you can do is make sure you only connect to a secure network i.e your router is password protected
You don't go clicking suspect links and attachments

Happy birthday

chokl8candie: lol ..ofcuz not. Commitment to me is hving smone ur assured will be loyal,faithful n responsible to u and mke u the only girl in his world. We dun necessarily hv to get married cz sh.!t happens and we cd breakup ...but as long as he's my guy and he's faithful thats enuf commitment

hv u seen the movie i mentioned tho?

No i haven't

Make sure you are well protected at all times if your thing is testing waters.

You sure don't want to get pregnant then have to abort for a guy that will give you all that you listed above only to change once the dynamics of your relationship changes.

Relationship ought not to be a game and the inherent risks attached to testing water outweighs the benefit


Btw: lovely username . Have you been told that's how u taste by any chance hence the username?

chokl8candie: lol @ ''testing the guy'' b4 commiting, reminds me of a movie called the perfect picture.

Well testing how good he is in bed isnt reali my main priority for not wanting to be with a guy who's a virgin...... Its just a turn off for me.

And to answer ur question i dun sleep with guys who are not commited to me in the 1st place

I'm loving this already hehehehe

What does commitment mean to you? Surely it can't be by words alone

chokl8candie: please share your views

I know i wouldnt

Team test before you commit yeahhhhhhhhhh

Wait a minute, so what happens if you test and he doesn't commit, are you going to keep doing random test since it's very important to you?

What's with all these curses?

manny4life: 1. Okay, although the illustration I put above was just referencing between 75% and 100% and I agree with you that a data validation is needed. However, equating on the first line of argument: IF B1="", a simple statement like out of range or N/A will suffice... IMO.

2. I understand the tighter range argument (good though), although I was only saying I did not understand why the "AND" operator function was used since we're restricting to 75% and 100%. To each their own right

Anyway, you got it right though...Great.

I see your point. I didn't bother with blank condition simply because the marks were clearly defined thus my formula will always work for your specified condition.

I also used the AND operator because my formula was designed using range as key criteria

manny4life: Thanks for providing an answer it seems correct, have a few questions for you though

1). I wasn't really asking for a table though, so what if you had 60 or 1,000 or some other no, then what?

2). Why did you use the "AND" function? I evaluated your formula and did not see the call for an "AND", perhaps you can explain

For now, these are my two questions but the formula string is correct.

=IF(B1="","N/A",IF(B1>=95,"A+",IF(B1>=90,"A",IF(B1>=85,"B+",IF(B1>=80,"B",IF(B1>=75,"C+")))))

1) The table was used to illustrate that it works and numbers outside of the defined range will return N/K grade. The IF system for grade A+ could have been tighter as well but i suppose a data validation will be set on column A so as to only accept values of between 75% and 100%

2) Tighter range, less chance of making mistakes with the algebraic expression, i'm used to coding using operators.

martyns303: @moderator Jaybee. Is it ok to insult another nairalander by calling him/her an animal? That was a rhetorical question and do not require an answer since we can distiquish for ourselves, someone seems it fit to call me an animal, I have not offended this person in anyway, I didn't refer to this person or made any insinuations, but when I stood to defend myself u seem it fit to hide my post and further banned me on grounds of insulting another nairalander, the very thought of it defies logical reasoning and I propose u do the right thing, 1. Ur going to unhide my post. 2. U will unban me. If however u felt I have violated NL rules, apparently the other person must have violated same rule by referring to me as an animal, so ur going to be fair in ur judgement by 1. Hidding his post. 2. Banning him for the same period as myself.

He was equally banned for insulting you

Formula

IF(A1>=95,"A+",IF(AND(A1>=90,A1<95),"A",IF(AND(A1>=85,A1<90),"B+",IF(AND(A1>=80,A1<85),"B",IF(AND(A1>=75,A1<80),"C+","N/K")))))

dontjealousme: Jaybee Y close an educative thread? Absolutely no reason to close that thread in-view that people where making mature contribution.

This is another thread that was closed for no valid reason.

Are we allowed to ask question here on nairaland?

I already told you i didn't close it. Sexkillz did

masonkz: Hi mods. Can I get an explanation as to why this thread was moved to sexuality section please?

www.nairaland.com/1482145/dearest-love-masonkz-birthday


Thank you.

It was done as a preventive measure as most of the threads he create under the romance section end up being used to discuss sexuality.
I'm happy to move it to dating and meet up section

cheris skenzy: I asked and he said" I have good plans for you". And for the records,am not leading anybody on. For your Q, yeap am working.

Ask him to state his specific plans

Tell him you expect to be married at bla bla bla time and he ought to let you know if he doesn't think he had be ready by then.

How come they are suitors if they are not being led on?
I'm sure suitors aren't the same as awon bois [b]admiring [/b]you on the road/church et al

Why feel bad if you enjoyed it?

If anything, spontaneous sex are the ish so no biggie


I'm just not comfortable with you suggesting r..pe because you now feel bad or whatever. You went along to his knowing fully well that there was the possibility that your hormones might just get overly excited at the sight of king kong.

Never tempt or fight temptation. Avoid it at all cost

The one that genuinely love the other.

They both get heart broken if the love is from both side.

There isn't any yard stick to measure heart breaks.

It's either one is or isn't
