About 50% of all US presidents have been left-handed (or ambidextrous). We didn't really track the handedness of presidents before the early 20th century (it was considered a disability), but there is evidence that earlier presidents were also left-handed. For example, Garfield was apparently able to simultaneously write Latin with his right hand and Greek with his left.

The first confrontation between the German Nazis and the Soviet Union took place in 1937 in Paris, France .

The first fight between Hitler and Stalin was an architectural battle, which took place in Paris, a few hundred yards from the Eiffel Tower.

Albert Speer, Adolf Hitler's chief architect, designed the German Pavilion for the 1937 international exposition in Paris. The German and Soviet pavilion sites were opposite each other. On learning - through a clandestine look at the Soviet plans - that the Soviet design included two colossal figures seemingly about to overrun the German site, Speer modified his design to include a cubic mass which would check their advance, with a huge eagle on top looking down on the Soviet figures. Both pavilions were awarded gold medals for their design.

A mantis shrimp can swing its claw so fast it boils the water around it and creates a flash of light.

The temperature produced can reach up-to temperature of SUN momentarily!!!

They have two club-shaped appendages near their face that can punch out faster than a .22 caliber bullet( acceleration of 102,000 m/s2 and speeds of 23 m/s from a standing start) to smash and break apart their prey (usually mollusks and crabs) and even glass.

They can punch with enough force that the surrounding water boils in a process known as supercavitation. The bubbles caused by this supercavitation collapse instantly, but not before giving off a shockwave of heat (thousands of Kelvins high) and light (sonoluminescence) to confuse and boil the prey.This Shockwave has a force in order of 1,500 newtons .

If we had the same amount of force as the Mantis Shrimp, we could throw small objects into orbit. Imagine being a crab and seeing this beast of a shrimp come after you; even if the Mantis Shrimp misses blowing you to pieces with its bullet gloves of death, the atomic shockwave that follows the punch will still boil you alive.

Lichtenberg Figures: The Fractal Patterns of Lightning Strike Scars

Being struck by lightning is a dangerous and scary experience and can even be fatal. Sometimes, the electrical discharge can leave a tattoo-like marking or scar known as a Lichtenberg figure. The patterns created are known to be examples of fractals.

Lichtenberg figures are branching electric discharges that sometimes appear on the surface or the interior of insulating materials. They are named after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them. When they were first discovered, it was thought that their characteristic shapes might help to reveal the nature of positive and negative electric “fluids”.

In 1777, Lichtenberg built a large electrophorus to generate high voltage static electricity through induction. After discharging a high voltage point to the surface of an insulator, he recorded the resulting radial patterns in fixed dust. By then pressing blank sheets of paper onto these patterns, Lichtenberg was able to transfer and record these images, thereby discovering the basic principle of modern Xerography. This discovery was also the forerunner of modern day plasma physics.

Although Lichtenberg only studied 2-dimensional (2D) figures, modern high voltage researchers study 2D and 3D figures (electrical trees) on, and within, insulating materials [Souce: Wikipedia].

Mithilesh Kumar Srivastava, better known as Natwarlal (1912-2009), was a noted Indian con man known for having repeatedly "sold" the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, and the Rashtrapati Bhavan and also the Parliament House of India along with its 545 sitting members. He was a living-legend in his lifetime and a legend even after his death.
He was born in Bangra village in Siwan district of Bihar, by profession he was a lawyer before he turned into a conman.
He had duped hundreds of people of crores of rupees and used more than 50 aliases to disguise himself. He was a master of disguises and used novel ideas to cheat and was also a master in forging signatures of famous personalities. He is also said to have cheated number of industrialists including the Tatas, the Birlas and also Dhirubhai Ambani taking from them huge money in cash, posing as social worker or needy person. Also he had duped many shop-owners with lakhs of rupees, paying them by chequeand demand drafts, which were later found to be forged.
Natwarlal was wanted in more than 100 cases and he was wanted by 8 states police and was sentenced to 113 years in prison. However, he made daring escapes from different jails eight times in his life.
Natwarlal was arrested nine times but every time was able to break out of jail and run away. The last time he was arrested was in 1996 and was 84 years old at that time. But he managed to again give the police a slip and was last seen by authorities on June 24, 1996; when the wheelchair-using octogenarian vanished while being transported from prison to a hospital for treatment. He disappeared at New Delhi railway station, when he was being taken to AIIMS, under police escort from Kanpur jail for his treatment, after which he was never seen by anyone.

The Raising of Chicago

The city of Chicago was raised by several feet during the 1860's without disrupting daily life or businesses closing down to solve a drainage problem. Entire buildings, shopping centers, sidewalks and hotels were all lifted up manually by laborers using jack-screws while people went about their daily lives, shopped and dined. In one case, a large hotel was raised off the ground even while guests stayed on oblivious of what was going on underneath them:

"....one patron was puzzled to note that the front steps leading from the street into the hotel were becoming steeper every day and that when he checked out, the windows were several feet above his head, whereas before they had been at eye level. This huge hotel, which until just the previous year had been the tallest building in Chicago, was in fact raised fully 6 feet (1.8 m) without a hitch."

Cheers!

Nwanne mmadu, many thanks.

Well, I don’t know that this is “effective”… or wise. But I’ll tell you how a friend of mine did it. Names changed, etc.

John was at home, minding his own business… and his girlfriend of 5 years comes home. Stomps in, drops her stuff… and without further introduction, looks at John and says “Oh, YOU’RE home… I don’t even want to look at you right now”.

John, caught completely by surprise, fumbles out “What are you mad about?”.

The seething reply was “Oh, YOU KNOW what I’m mad about!”… and she storms off into the bedroom and slams the door.

So, John sits there, blinks a few times… then gets up and goes outside.

Now we switch scenes to inside the bedroom where Megan sits on the bed… mad at John for reasons unknown… but VERY mad.

The bedroom door opens… and there stands John, with the garden hose in his hand.

He lets loose with a good 5–6 second blast of water from the hose… liberally soaking Megan, the bed, the bedroom, pets, whatever… He shuts off the hose nozzle, looks her right in the eye with a big boy scout grin John is known for… and says, almost proudly…

“NOW, I know what you’re mad about!”.

Folks, that is the sort of exchange that really can only end with two sounds… laughter or a gunshot…

The neighbors declined to call the police over the loud laughter heard.

Any time either one of them retells this story, neither of them can remember what she was ACTUALLY mad about.

hi guys, I'd love to know where I can download movies with high quality. I downloaded a movie(junglebook) and it had a low quality sound and display. pls help me I really need to download these movies.

It all depends on how much MB you have. Torrent sites usually have hd movies, kickass.to and the others.
There is also Ganool.com.

dbay01:

I sent you a PM

dbay01:
It's a long thing as it involves several requirements and efforts. Firstly, do u graduate with a first class or a strong 2-1 grade in ur BSc?

I had a 2:1 in my Bsc. I am interested in the several requirements.

Kindly help me with procedures.

Your first story wanted to look real but this second one has spoiled everything.

Boss, are these your designs done with Revit only? They are very nice btw.

jugreency3:
U are to download that form for the physical examination or send me ur email to aend it to u. As for the language text, you are a Nigerian and our longuawis English. So u don't need that test. Yes u can use ur waec.

I have downloaded it. Can the test be carried out anywhere either private or public hospital?

@jugreency3 nice post.

What is foreign physical examination, how can one get it and at what cost.

For no.9, do we still require. IELTS or TOEFL, aren't we Nigerians, English language speakers? Can WAEC be used?

Forgive my many questions.

kITATITA:
I don't know who you are or what you are into to tell you the benefits of the budget in your life. Let me say you have no job and you don't want to work which is unlikely. Government intents to introduce N350 billion into the economy each quarter through investment in infrastructure. It means there'll be road construction, railways and other capital projects. The construction worker will get a job. He will buy more food, beer, buy meat, pay house rent. He will be able to dash you something from his income. No matter what he spends on, the beneficiaries will have more money to buy other things, including the garri seller, the beer seller, the prostitute, etc. Spending on electricity means that the artisan; welder, barber, hairdresser will spend less on petrol and have more money to spend on other things. That your friend who who would normally not bring out food in your presence will be more generous. What I suggest is that you read the 33 point economic policy direction earlier revealed by the government as well as the 34 priority focus projects recently announced through the Finance Minister; you'll find where to key-in and benefit from. Have a good mindset

Hey guys,
I need your candid opinion and advice on this. I am first class graduate of Civil Engineering from one of the prestigious federal university in Nigeria.
I won all expense-paid scholarship to Thailand and also secured job with sterling bank.
Sterling bank job total take home is around 198k but I am confused whether to take up the job or go for my masters degree.
I am particularly confused because of job insecurity associated with banking industry as well as deviating from my career aspiration of becoming an Engineer.
I am also concerned of not being able to secure decent job when I come back after my masters programme in Thailand.
I will be glad for your honest opinion and advice

Cc lalasticlala

I studied Civil Engineering too. I won't give up that career line for any banking job for now. Even though the pay is mouth watering, I think it will be better to take up the Thailand offer. Advance yourself, there are still plenty Engineering firms that will find your qualifications useful.

You cant even download a clear picture to make whatever it is you are selling authentic.
