It a hoax o, biko. |
SmooshCHN:Same to you brother. |
Very nice. You should include the sources after each entry. |
Adaeze003:It's not just you my sister. |
DopeBoiRapy:I've read all you typed and I came to the conclusion that your problem is simple ignorance, immaturity and inexperience, because the best way to make good decisions in life is to borrow from other's experiences, listen to their advice, learn from their mistakes and then you will have a better understanding of your own predicament which would help you make a more informed decision. And where else do you have access to as wide a range of experiences than on the internet? If you have a lick of sense in you, you'll learn to utilize the internet for your own good, instead of trying to discourage someone using the most advanced and comprehensive source of information in the world today. |
Wetin concern me?, my only question is why are our policemen acting as personal bodyguards/bouncers/thugs for these people? This country is Just ![]() |
https://voices.nationalgeographic.com/files/2015/12/5U3A1577-600x400.jpg Last week, for the first time in 457 years, the same day saw both Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25 and Muslims celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad on the 12th day of Rabi’ al-awwal (though there are large populations of both religions that recognize different dates). The Calendars Because the Christian calendar is based on an adjusted solar year and the Islamic calendar on the roughly 11-day shorter lunar year, the two holidays, while fixed in their own calendars, move relative to each other each year. Wishing “peace and goodwill” as well as “happy holidays” are common during northern hemisphere winter every year to encompass the many celebrations in different faiths. This year (and last, and next, as Mawlid falls in January and December) Muslims have a holiday to be included in that number as well. The Celebrations There are so many traditions associated with Christmas that it can be overwhelming: a massive amount of gifts, food, and candy; a jolly man that comes down the chimney without being suspected of burglary; children trying to appease said jolly man; the Peter, Paul and Mary Christmas Celebration ; and songs, sculptures, paintings, and church services honoring the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus in a stable and placing him in a manger. Due to Islamic practices, there are no depictions of Muhammad as a child (or any older) so there are no nativity scenes. Muslims who celebrate Mawlid gather with their families, pass out sweets, and read stories about the Prophet. Food and charity are distributed to the poor and people gather at the mosque to pray and listen to poetry and songs praising Muhammad. Many Muslims might fast throughout the day and then feast on traditional fare in the evening. As with many Christmas processions in Europe, during Mawlid Muslims will carry banners or enjoy street carnivals. In Rabat-Salé, Morocco, their street procession, known as the Lantern Festival, features geometric wax designs on metal stands carried on the backs of believers. In Qayrawan, Tunisia, believers sing hymns welcoming Muhammad. Pakistanis celebrate Mawlid with a 31-gun salute in Karachi and people gather in Lahore for the International Mawlid Conference. In Indonesia, Muslims celebrate with a festival of bright, colorful masks. Just as Puritans once outlawed Christmas festivities in England, strict Islamic sects disapprove of the celebration of Mawlid. So whichever religion you follow, whether you have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree or a Festivus pole, a Mawlid procession or just a few quiet or rowdy evenings with your family, be sure to celebrate the universality of celebration itself, and take some time to learn more about some of the many other traditions and cultures around the world. https://www.whe.org/assets/images/christmas-tree.jpg Source: [url=voices.nationalgeographic.com/2015/12/30/jesus-and-muhammad-share-a-birthday-for-first-time-in-457-years/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=link_fb20151231voices-jesusmuhammad&utm_campaign=Content&sf17876938=1]NatGeo[/url] |
sinaj:Heat doesn't destroy the testes, it's just bad for sperm production, which as you may notice isn't a problem before puberty ![]() |
https://mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/promo_230x130/public/gi.png In the Dominican Republic, the phenomenon of children who were raised female appearing to swap sexes at puberty is so common it even has a name. Guevedoces roughly translates to "penis [or "balls"] at 12," and it’s the result of a rare enzyme deficiency that delays crucial steps of male sexual development until puberty. When guevedoces are born, they appear to have external female Instruments even though their genes and internal reproductive organs are male. Parents assume their children are girls and raise them as such. But when these children begin producing large amounts of testosterone at puberty, their testes descend and they grow a penis—in addition to all the other changes that come along with male adolescence. Sexual development normally begins in the womb, and the same is true for guevedoces . Whether the fetus has one X chromosome or two, for the first several weeks of development its genes follow the same blueprint for both sexes. Then, sometime around the eight-week mark, the sex chromosomes get to work. For males, the undeveloped gonads become testicles and they start to release male hormones, including testosterone. In a structure called the tubercle, an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase converts the testosterone to a stronger hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is necessary to develop external Instruments. It's this hormone that turns the tubercle into a penis; without it, it develops into a clitoris. The rare enzyme deficiency found in guevedoces leaves them unable to develop external male Instruments in the womb. They still produce plenty of testosterone, which triggers the development of internal structures like the epididymis and vas deferens, but the lack of DHT makes the babies appear female at birth. It’s not until the second surge of testosterone these children receive at puberty that they grow testes and a penis. The condition is thought to be genetic, tracing back to the female founder of a small village in the Dominican Republic's mountainous hinterland. Outside of the nation, it’s incredibly rare. For some guevedoces , being raised as female wasn’t an easy experience. “I never liked to dress as a girl, and when they bought me toys for girls, I never bothered playing with them,” Johnny, who had grown up as Felicita, told BBC Two, which features these kids in the second episode of the series Countdown to Life: The Extraordinary Making of You. “When I saw a group of boys, I would stop to play ball with them.” When Johnny, now 24, began to undergo physical changes, he was taunted at school and called nasty names by his classmates. He’s had a number of short-term girlfriends since going through puberty and dreams of one day getting married and starting a family. Another child named Carla began the process of transitioning to Carlos at age 9; he can be seen receiving a smile-inducing haircut in the photo above. Most people with this condition live out their adult lives as men, but some choose to undergo surgery and remain female. The discovery of this disorder in the 1970s led to the development of a best-selling drug called finasteride, which is commonly prescribed to treat benign enlargement of the prostate and male pattern baldness. (You may know it by the brand name Propecia.) The drug mimics the enzyme deficiency by blocking the action of 5-alpha-reductase. You can learn more about this rare condition and the people who have it on the BBC Two series Countdown to Life: The Extraordinary Making of You .

lilmax:Yes, wife beaters are animals that take out their frustrations on their wives. |
Psychodavidovic:You can resolve that issue at your bank easily, when you report to your bank they'll then contact quickteller. |
Even after saving you can change the extension. |
You're welcome. |
It's not virus that's for certain, Amd cpus are known to have overheating issues so watch where you use it the ventilation and such, also your OS is most likely the problem, upgrade to Windows 10 asap if you haven't already. |
bqlekan: Abeg o, I'm a full blooded Nigerian. No implicate me. |
https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a77KVnA_460s_v1.jpg What are your thoughts on these photos? |
It's interesting how religion can be both funny and sad at the same time. Ridiculous. |
gabrielmorinho:You just insulted his father for something he knows nothing about, yet you believe you're better than him, Newsflash! You're not, you're just like every other so called sinner and are on an express train to the so called hell, no different than the person you just insulted his father. |
And the lord said unto him, reread all you have typed this morning then ask thyself, is it not lame? |
This was copied from Wikipedia word for word, writen by people who actually know what they're talking about. Spacecraft travelling beyond low Earth orbit leave the protection of earth's geomagnetic field and transit the Van Allen belts. Beyond these, they face additional hazards from cosmic rays and solar flares. A region between the inner and outer Van Allen belts lies at two to four Earth radii and is sometimes referred to as the "safe zone". Solar cells , integrated circuits , and sensors can be damaged by radiation. Geomagnetic storms occasionally damage electronic components on spacecraft. Miniaturization and digitization of electronics and logic circuits have made satellites more vulnerable to radiation, as the total electric charge in these circuits is now small enough so as to be comparable with the charge of incoming ions. Electronics on satellites must be hardened against radiation to operate reliably. The Hubble Space Telescope , among other satellites, often has its sensors turned off when passing through regions of intense radiation. A satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminium in an elliptic orbit (200 by 20,000 miles (320 by 32,190 km)) passing the radiation belts will receive about 2,500 rem (25 Sv ) per year (for comparison, a full-body dose of 50 Sv is deadly). Almost all radiation will be received while passing the inner belt. The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners. The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely to send spacecraft through only the thinner areas of the outer belts. The command module's inner structure was an aluminum "sandwich" consisting of a welded aluminium inner skin, a thermally bonded honeycomb core, and a thin aluminium "face sheet". The steel honeycomb core and outer face sheets were thermally bonded to the inner skin. Astronauts' overall exposure was actually dominated by solar particles once outside Earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy ), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity.

Adonis3:You can't do it with an image from your gallery |
Adonis3:use [img]http://the url of the Image[/img] quote the op to see how I did it |
obinnashady:Ignoramus |
obinnashady:You should have just left instead of showing everyone that you nothing of ww2 history. |
Nigerians! If they stop it now and NCC fine them again you'll be the 1st to start shouting yes, add 6 billion on top! you can't eat your cake and have it, go and update your details Biko. |
I actually found it immediately. |
