Biko help me out o.

I have an interview soon.

I'm a Nigerian university graduate.

I'm seeking for admission into a US community college in Washington.

I have two siblings who are citizens of US and they are based in Washington.

My sponsor is my mother and I have her bank statements.

Now here come the real part

What are your advices for me?

I'm still perplexed on how to escape the "Why community college" question and why I chose Washington when my siblings are there.

9jagobetta:
fine. I am dedicating this page to Christ Jesus the lord of peace and to all Christians. however behold the following:

What is an INFIDEL? KNOWING IT IS TO BELIEVE-IT

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

The man who walks with God always gets to his destination.

If you have a pulse you have a purpose.

The Muslim religion is the fastest
growing religion per capita in the
United States, especially in the
minority races!!

Last month I attended my annual
training session that's required for
maintaining my state prison security clearance.

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers
representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths,
who each explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say.
The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.

If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, 'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of
Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven.

Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Muslim was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your
brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to
heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam,
and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!

I think everyone in the WORLD!!! should be required to read this,
but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely
publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance
to make a difference...

Please, for Christ's sake, send it on!
.......................................

I have just read this and with divine apology, I am sending it on to every number registered on my phone.
Linus is ya name. This is just a conjured story. No Muslim imam will be speechless because of your questions. Instead, he would change the wrong notions about killing infidels.

Yes, the Quran does say Muslims should kill infidels. But it doesn't tell me to kill you because you're a christian. The Quran is a revelation, and it reflected what was happening as at the time it was revealed. Then when the Quran was revealed, there was an outright war btw Muslims and Infidels. At first the Muslims didn't retaliate, but when it got to a point, the go ahead came from Allah(SWT) to fight them.

That's what you read and you're thinking you have nailed it.
Sorry bro.

*Islam is the way.*

This forum is just too interesting. Science in practical applications in day to day activities and possible future use as discussed here is good.
***‎

I use to like Thomas Edison, but I dropped him when I learnt about his beef with that mad scientist, Nikolas Tesla.

I learnt it originated when Edison failed to keep his promise to his then consultant, Tesla. 

*Tesla was offered the task of completely redesigning the Edison Company's direct current generators. In 1885, he said that he could redesign Edison's inefficient motor and generators, making an improvement in both service and economy. According to Tesla, Edison remarked,

 "There's fifty thousand dollars in it for you—if you can do it."
 
This has been noted as an odd statement from an Edison whose company was stingy with pay and who did not have that sort of cash on hand.  After months of work, Tesla fulfilled the task and inquired about payment. Edison, saying that he was only joking, replied, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor." Instead, Edison offered a US$10 a week raise over Tesla's US$18 per week salary; Tesla refused the offer and immediately resigned. (Wikipedia) *

Edison was reported to have publicly electrocuted animals with AC power source in bid to discourage the public against the use of AC, to favour his own DC power source. ‎

I think we know who  won the 'current war' at the end of the day.

I think,  *Edison was one level of science. Tesla was many levels higher. His wireless electricity wins it big time for me.

We all know that the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Pharaoh
Khufu are amongst the Seven wonders of the world.
The question is what were the pyramids really built for? Is
it the commonly accepted tomb, or was it built for
something else?

Teempakguy:
I promised I would explain it.
And here I am. grin

Time dilation is one of the phenomena observed in relativistic physics developed by Henri poincare and Albert Einstein. So, far, it cannot be explained to a layman. I can only describe it to you.

You see, time and space are fused together. As in, they are part of each other. And as such, what ever you do to space MUST affect time. You cannot move in space without moving in time! And you cannot move in time without moving in space . . . or can you? shocked shocked

There is a postulate of special relativity that states that the faster you move, the slower time passes for you . . . to external observers. Now, that is kind of annoying. Because, what I mean by external observers is, even if you were to move at the speed of of light, you wouldn't know it unless you saw something that wasn't. It is called "inertial frame" I believe.
But, I digress. As I was saying, it is simply observed that the faster you move RELATIVE to something, the slower time runs for you. Therefore, if you were to get on a bike and ride at 300km/h, you would age . . . roughly about 0.000009 times less than your friend that stayed at home.

Now, there is also another point here. Which I believe is what happened in interstellar. I didn't watch the movie though. cheesy

Gravity bends space. shocked or more accurately, mass bends space. And where there is mass, gravity must be there. grin
So, we know that space and time is fused, and I said earlier, if you affect space, you affect time. This means by curving space, you are also curving time. Which means instead of it to run equally in all places, it runs slower where you are. Faster where you are not. huh huh
Now, imagine if you are a little child. The space you bend is almost insignificant. Same if you were an adult. sad so, your time runs fast still.

But imagine you were a giant planet! shocked shocked shocked

Time would run about 6000 nano seconds slower for you! And of course, grin every one that lived on you.

But wait . . . . what if you were a black hole? If your mass was HUMONGOUS! shocked

Time would run so slow for you that we could probably measure it in years. grin cool

And that is all about what happened in interstellar.
1. The faster you move in space, the slower you move in time.
2. The heavier you are, the more you bend space.
3. The more you bend space, the more you slow time.

But, neither you, nor anybody else, knows what is going on. Because your clocks will continue to run perfectly, and light will move normally, unless, you were to observe each other. Or you were to leave the black hole and and go to earth. You will suddenly discover that time ran faster for them. While it didn't for you. Despite the fact that it was normal-looking for both of you. huh

Cheers! smiley


Thanks a bunch bro

My field is chemistry. Though I just finished my first degree in it.
My flair is space technology. I recently saw this movie, interstellar, and there were some things I didn't really understand in it.

Like the relation of time and speed. Something called time dilation. Two astronauts went to a planet closer to the blackhole and when they returned, they discovered that they had gone for 23 years whereas they only spent few hours on the planet. I don't know how possible is this. Pls I need a layman explanation on this.

It is 7:15am. Forty-five minutes short of my planned meeting with Uche. The meeting dey important as lying during manifestos, is to our politicians. Should I tell you what the meeting is all about? No joor, I don’t trust you.

Uche’s flight to Abuja takes off by 8:45am. I had tried to convince him to travel by land, but that Uche of a thing has a headstrong behavior that is harder than an igneous rock. I hate travelling by the air. Do you remember that plane crash in 2006? Remember the burnt-beyond-recognition bodies, so grotesque abi? Ever since, I always travel by land jeje, and I stay near the window. Even if yawa wan gas, na me go first escape, hehe.

I take my phone, an old BlackBerry Tour, out to chat with Uche that I am on the way. I lie to him that I am already at Mangoro, meanwhile, the Faragon, I am in, is just passing through Meiran. It is no problem joor- we all tell lies. I should get to him before 8:00am. Worse come to worse, the holdup at Iyana-Ipaja will take twenty minutes, and that one from Dopemu to Ile-Zik will take say twenty-five minutes. Ehn, ten minutes for the free roads. Oh no, I will be ten minutes late by that calculation—wait sef… ten minutes- it is nothing joor.

A brawl in the bus shuffles me away from my thoughts. The conductor, one swarthy, short dude cladding a dirty Manutd jersey- that Sir Alex Ferguson will never be proud of- and a home cut knee-length denim jeans. His black turned brown hairs is bushy and unkempt. His face is wild and scary like a prisoner who just escaped from Kirikiri prison. He is hurling insults at a lady sitting at the back row.

I glance back. Wow, you won't believe this- see fine girl. See curvy structure, fine face- see what she is wearing sef, Ahaun- dis one go scatter any Pastor or Imam head o. See see, yes- those exposed ample cleavages and the chain dangling at the middle, like em- what is that lady’s name sef… Ehn ehn Karan Igbo. Not the whole Karen Igbo o, I mean from her neck to her to her hips. Don’t mind me o, I be correct man, and I like better women.

But wait o, what did this pulchritude reeking lady do to deserve this kind of insults from this yeye conductor.

“You go pay today today.” The conductor thunders, hitting his balled fist on the roof of the Faragon.

“Conductor please. I misplaced my wallet. Please be considerate.” The lady begs. Her English is sweet to hear- queens. And I love queens English.

So this lady doesn’t have any money. I turn and look at her again- She looks like a correct Lagos 'runs' babe. But she is too beautiful than she not having any money at hand.

“Conductor abeg now,” the lady beside the fine lady begs, “She for giv you the money but she forget her purse for house ni.”

“Na you sabi how to beg abi? Pay for her now.”

“I for pay, but I no get change for hand ni.”

“You no go get. See am oshofree.” The conductor pulls his right ear with his right hand. “Better do normal and pay my money, or else I go drop you o. I don talk my own o.”

“Please don’t drop me sire. I will pay you.” The beautiful lady pleads.

“Na who go dash you money? Shey na all dis oshofree abi?” he says, as he gestures with his hands to all of us.

“Who be oshofree ehn?” one chubby lady, who carrying a lady, not less than sixteen years, on her laps says.

“You no be oshofree, and you no fit pay for you and your pikin.”

As soon as the conductor finishes, the Faragon swerves sideways and it comes to a halt. The conductor slides the door open and beckons to the fine lady,

“Madam pay my money or come down.”

Majority of the passengers starts to beg the conductor:

“Pls now.”

“Abeg now.”

“Help am now.”

“E fit happen to you to, carry her now.”

It seems I’m the only different person in this Faragon. So all these people cannot help this lady with common N150. People no good o.

“Is this why we are stopping?” I shout, forming a big man. “I have a ‘meeting’ by 8:00am.” I lay emphasis on ‘meeting’.

“Make she come down now make we dey go.” The conductor replies.

“Conductor, I will pay,” I scream, “lets go.”

“You go pay for her?”

“I will, lets go.”

The Faragon starts moving.

“Thank you sire,” the fine lady says. Her voice is sweet to hear, particularly when she directs it towards me. “God will bless you for me.”

I continue forming a big man, “Don’t mention ma. It is nothing.” As I say those words, I feel my head swelling like garri Ijebu and my body growing big and pompous like the owner of a big yacht sailing in the Baltic sea. At least I have a connection with her now. I can collect her number when we alight at Ikeja. Imagine me squeezing those two fleshy orbs… kissing her lips... chai, my luck has struck emerald...

“The money,” the conductor’s voice jerks me out of my reverie.

I touch my left pocket, it was flat. Right pocket-flat. Breast pocket-flat. My mind travel back. Back home to my dining table. The picture of my wallet resting innocently on the dining table materialises in my mind eyes. I look at the conductor’s face- it is red hot!

Good day phone lords. I just discovered something creepy about my phone. If I charge it @ night to a full battery status and leave it switched on till the ffg morning, with my mobile data switched off, I noticed in the past two days that the battery is dropping at an alarming rate! Yesterday night, I had 98%, this morning around 2:30am, I had 35%... and I didn't use if o.

What do you think is responsible for this? I checked my app manager, and it told me my bbm used my battery most (51%). Meanwhile, I didn't chat or receive a pin.
