She should japa and start putting other people's health at risk? The fact that she is crying that she doesn't have the virus didn't mean that she doesn't have it. What if she just experienced mild symptoms as such is the case with many patients?

She has the right to refuse their so-called medical treatment, since they've trampled upon her human right, by not informing her of her Covid-19 status before moving her to unknown location.

SHE DIDN'T TAKE ANY DRUG.

For those of you who believe chloroquine or azithromycin can help, I pity your life (no offence).

All those proposing or recommending the use of HCQS or Azithromycin have not been able to explain the mechanism of action of those drugs on Corona virus.

You can't just treat anything with anything, there are contraindications you should be weary off. I strongly believe, the high mortality rate (above China) in Italy is due to the use of wrong drugs in treating this virus

Romance / Re: She Said She's Not Interested But Gets Angry When She Sees Me With A Girl. by julybaba(m): 10:36pm On Mar 18, 2020
miclef86:
I met this lady, a colleague of mine for over a year now, we work in the same unit. Don't get it twisted, our Organization permits marriages but one of us will make a transfer to another branch within the same location.

I liked her, everybody in our unit noticed there's a connection between us. However, we're like cat and dog we fight over everything, always disagreeing, yet.

I have been getting a lot of advice from my fellow colleagues about how she's the perfect match for me and how compatible we're if we decide to be together.

However, truth be told, I have not been really serious with her, I flirt with other single girls in the unit. The other day, they were having relationship discussion, a senior colleague of mine said that I use to jump from one girl to another.

The last Valentine's day, I called her that we really need to talk she told me if it's really that serious I should come over to her house which I did. I went there to profess my love for her, I asked her to give me a chance that I'm gonna be a better man.

She calls me a confused human being, that I don't really know what I want, that it's too late. That she already has someone and planning to get married to him next year.

Now, I've decided to accept my faith and move on with one particular lady that cares about me, I no longer call her like I used to anymore, just greetings that use to join us now.

I have noticed a hostile attitude from her towards me, she gets angry whenever she sees me with the other girl.

Yesterday, during lunch hour, I met her with few of my colleagues and little conversation ensued between us she said I should bet with her that I'm going to leave that girl and come back to her, that made me a little upset within. So we had a bet.

Pls I need your advice, I truly love her, I think about her almost all the time. Should I swallow my ego and try to make things work between us again or I should let the sleeping dog lie?
You're not serious with your relationship "life". Please, for your own sake, don't shit where you eat..( That's a golden rule).

Learn to separate "career life" from "love life". Don't eat anything you see, because you are hungry. Be guided.

Further investigation launched into the deceased patient's history on Wednesday by Igbere TV, showed that the woman was well taken care of at the Isolation Centre and discharged by the health workers before her demise.



While refuting the claims that the Enugu Isolation Centre was not up to standard (as being alleged via viral photos on social media), the health workers said the late woman did not complain of neglect “as the whole health-care workers were with her until the time of her death.”

If you can control your sexual urge you are likely able to control 70-80% of life decisions with clear eyes especially for a man so I think that's why some of them great scientists chose that path.celibacy is more about control than anything.that's my thought anyway

Yes.
Smarter teens, in fact, tend to delay their initiation of coital activities. A 2012 study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that high working memory decreases the likelihood of early adolescent sexual debut.

These are the Positions held by Newton::
* 1667 -- Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge
* 1669 -- Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge (a position now held by Stephen Hawking)
* 1689 -- Member of Parliament representing Cambridge
* 1699 -- Master of the Mint
* 1701 to 1702 -- Member of Parliament for the second time
* 1703 -- President of the Royal Society of London, the United Kingdom’s national academy of science
* 1705 -- Knighted

It was an outstanding track record in case of an academic career. Newton had one of the most celebrated educational backgrounds.

**I can not believe that a person can achieve all this with just intelligence.**

So why was Newton unique?

>Sir Isaac Newton needed **3-4 hours of sleep daily**. He worked so long and hard, often without sleep for days that he became ill from exhaustion.

>"He was suddenly struck by an amazing thought. Perhaps the moon was trying to fall to earth (a much larger mass than the moon).

Perhaps there was some other force preventing it from doing so.
What if the centrifugal force pulling the moon away from the earth was perfectly balanced with gravity force pulling the moon toward the earth?

If that were true it might also account for the movement of the earth around the sun, in fact, all the planets.

How about the entire universe? Wow! What a concept.

No wonder he couldn’t sleep."

(Reference: Isaac Newton (http://www.famouslives.com/isaacnewton.html))

**What did we learn from this?**
1. Newton’s dedication level was insane.

2. Newton took his work seriously, and believe it or not, making your work seriously can give you an insane amount of positive motivation.

Sufficient convincing assumptions…

He was born the way he was.

His life experience and his innate and unique and very great talent drove him towards a highly intellectual life.

He had a very difficult childhood. His father died before Newton ever got to know him, his mother remarried to a wealthy man, and she went to live at her new husband’s house.

She abandoned Newton, or so it certainly seems that Newton felt she did. He never forgave his mother. He became a driven man.

This may have made a difference to what he did, to what he accomplished, but his brilliance was inborn. There is little doubt of that.


Only people who have never met first rate mathematicians or physicists talk about them as if they are the same as all others, the only difference being the application of hard work at the right time, or some uniquely lucky position in history that makes them stand out.

If you once talk to a really brilliant mathematician or physicist, watch them solve a problem, then your opinion changes.
At the same time he was quite capable of fighting and he is famous for having defeated a class bully physically.

He became top of his class. He was a very hard man in later life when he was offered what was undoubtedly intended to be a sinecure at the Mint. He found out counterfeiters and had one of them executed, he wouldn’t listen at all to the man’s plea for a pardon, or a reduction of the sentence.


Contrary to other opinions expressed here, Isaac Newton was not simply the right man at the right place and time. This is a comforting myth. He was certainly unusually intelligent, this was recognized early on by his teachers, and he became a brilliant and original thinker in mathematics.

He was unusually suited for the work that he did in physics, which was a tiny fraction of his intellectual output. People like to believe that all are created equal, when it comes to intellectual abilities.

This idea cannot be farther from the truth. Genius is quite real, and Isaac Newton was one of the unique geniuses in human history.

There is no answer to explain why he was the way he was, but it remains the truth that he was unique.

Why is it that people find this simple truth difficult to accept when it is said about a physicist or a mathematician, that they were simply much more talented than others, but find it easy to accept when it concerns figures in athletic endeavors, or in music?

A voice like Caruso, or Pavarotti, or Ella Fitzgerald? We know that such things are unique. We know that not everyone dances like Nureyev or Baryshnikov. Not everyone can, no matter how they try.


We know that there was only one Johann Sebastian Bach, only one Mozart, only one Rachmaninov. No one really questions such things. But when it comes to intellect …

I could have worked like a madman trying to run a sub 4 minute mile, but I was not born with the same ability, the same physique that made it possible for Roger Bannister.

Five minutes to run a mile was torture for me to accomplish, even with huge amounts of practice, and I have a heart abnormality to boot.

Education / Why Did Sir Isaac Newton Stick A Needle In His Eye? by julybaba(m): 3:40pm On Mar 03, 2020
He did indeed. Or more accurately, he pushed a needle behind his eye and with it, indented the sclera. The needle never entered the eye.

By doing so, he stimulated his retina in many spots and noted a "phosphene" or glowing spot that resulted from the pressure. From this he was able to "map" his own retina against where he saw the spots.

This map conformed to the map on the back of a rabbit's retina that he made by shining light from a window, through a pinhole, into the rabbit's eye that had an opening cut away from the sclera allowing him to see into the rabbit's eye.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8aRRHKTxvc?t=24m15s

And thus Newton showed how the rays of light enter our eye by an optical system now called the camera design. And how the retina represents the outside world but with inversion (up is down and left is right).

Newton was a dedicated scientist who was willing to accept some pain and personal risk to satisfy his curiosity.

Why didn't Isaac Newton get married?

Let me start by pointing out that being unmarried was far from unusual for a scholar in Newton’s day.

In fact, the statutes of the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge required that students, college fellows, tutors, and professors be unmarried.

This was an inheritance from the Catholic university system of the Middle Ages, in which the members of a university were clergymen vowed to celibacy and living together as a quasi-monastic community.

Though the Protestant Reformation had done away with the requirement that Christian clergymen remain celibate, married life was still perceived as being at odds with the devotion to learning and the communal life expected within a university.

Thus, a graduate could be ordained as an Anglican priest, marry, and be assigned to a parish, but he then left the university.

Several other of the most eminent European scientists of the Renaissance and early modern period, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens, Gottfried Leibniz, and Robert Hooke, never married either.

Some of these, however, were sexually active: Galileo had three children with his long-time mistress, while Hooke had a clandestine relationship with his much younger niece.

After Newton moved to London and resigned his Cambridge professorship at the age of sixty, it would have been natural and socially deft for him to have married.

There is some indication that Newton’s friends John Locke and Samuel Pepys may have tried to introduce Newton to a suitable prospective wife (perhaps a respectable widow), but that Newton reacted very negatively.

There is a famous letter in which Newton recalls having been greatly upset by a sense that Locke had “endeavoured to embroil me with women”.

Newton’s private writings show that he regarded strict celibacy as part of the freely chosen ascetic lifestyle that he saw as suited to his vocation as a scholar.

Some of Newton’s 20th-century biographers suggested that he might have been homosexually inclined, but there is no real evidence for that.

The foremost expert today on Newton’s private manuscripts, Prof. Robert Iliffe of the University of Sussex (who is also the director of the Newton Project
(http://www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk/prism.php?id=1)) finds that Newton’s sexual impulses, which he deliberately restrained throughout his life, were directed towards women.

On this aspect of Newton’s personality, see the second half of this lecture delivered by Prof. Iliffe a few years ago at the University of California at Berkeley: Rob Iliffe, "Self-experiment, Sex, and the Care of the Self" (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8aRRHKTxvc?t=24m14s).
