I'm looking to build a Poultry cage which will contain like 20 birds. If you have one like that, kindly upload the picture let me use the blueprint to construct mine. Thanks

Those amounts were set when the medical faculty of the school was set up (which was probably ages ago). The professors and consultants know that they are ridiculous amounts, but they still award them anyway. It's not as if it was a deliberate amount.

Well, it now lies on the review boards to up the amounts. Excellence and hard work needs to be rewarded more

Because Nitel, like every other government agency, is dead. And Nigerians with their fancy gsm phones feel they are now too big for pay phones, whereas they are still being used in more civilized countries.

smh

I've thought about this. I know that call rates are now very low and stuff, but there are lots of reasons why one needs the services of a pay phone.

Do you have a pay phone operator in your area?

'The Patient Dog Eats the Fattest Bone'.

Do you believe that? The patient dog eats the fattest bone?

Most people have an opinion or two regarding this saying.

A friend I asked about this saying replied that indeed the patient dog eats the fattest bone, while the other early and quicker dogs have eaten the fattest meat!

Others insisted that the adage may have been true in the 1900's, 1800's and earlier, but in this century, day and age, the patient dog has no bone to eat at all.

Others say that the saying is never true. They hold on to this one that appears to contrast it, 'The early bird gets the worm'.

Before we move on, I'll ask, What is your opinion on either sayings? Let me assume that I'm your Professor in school and I ask you to Compare and Contrast these two sayings. Can you do that?

Seriously, give it a try. See what you can come up with.

OK. Time's up.

In analysing 'the patient dog' adage, the first thing you must do is to find how it originated.
If you find out in what context it was first used, then you can make an analysis based on the origin.

It turns out that the adage has been around for hundreds of years. It originated from ancient butchers in local abattoirs.

When these guys appear for work in the morning, they were almost certain of meeting lots of dogs waiting for them, and some others coming with them.

These dogs come to the slaughterhouse because they hope to get remnants of meats and bones as the butchers do their work and most times they do.

As time went on, the butchers noticed something rather remarkable.

When they begin slaughtering and dissecting an animal for its meat, bone particles start falling off and a lot of the dogs start picking them up and moving away with them to eat them.

However, some dogs seemed not to move a muscle. While other dogs kept scrambling for those 'early bones', these strange dogs just lay down as if they didn't care. As if they were waiting for something.

And it turned out that they were.

As an animal is being butchered, the bones that come out first are the thin and superficial bones.
Dogs that are impatient simply grab these and take off.

These other patient dogs wait till the butchering process had advanced. Till when the butchers had entered deep into the animal.
Why do they wait till this point?
Because that's when the fattest bones start coming out.

The fattest bones come out only when the butchering process reaches the late stages.
When these fat bones appear, then those dogs appear to come to life. They then easily grab these fat bones and walk away. It becomes easier for them to do so because all the other dogs have made off earlier on with the smaller and thinner bones.

That was the origin of the saying.

Fascinating, right?

JUDGING IN CONTEXT
You see, one challenge that most people encounter when using adages like 'the patient dog' adage, is that they are very likely to judge those sayings out of context.
The patient dog adage applies only in the cases that it fits.

BEING PATIENT
Let's take this analysis further one step.
Here's a simple question. What do you understand by being patient?

It's simple. The answer is, 'It depends on the context' .

Being patient in a particular situation may not mean the same thing as being patient in another situation.

Generally, patience involves having to wait or endure something.

Patience most times involves having to delay a treat or gratification available now, for a much larger one in the future.

HERE'S WHERE MOST PEOPLE MAKE THE MISTAKE
The mistake most people make in interpreting 'the patient dog' saying to their situations is that they erroneously think that it involves them just sitting down doing nothing 'patiently' waiting for what they desire to fall down on their laps.

The thing is this. If those desires are already on their way falling, then, of course, patience involves getting into position, sitting still and waiting for them to fall right into your laps.

Just like the dogs knew that all they needed to do to get the fattest bones was to simply wait for the butchers to get to the deeper parts of the animal, by all means, if what you desire will come to you by simply waiting for events to unfold, then that will suffice.

In most cases, however, that interpretation does not hold.

Unfortunately, that appears to be the only interpretation most guys give 'the patient dog' adage.

PATIENCE INVOLVES MORE THAN WAITING
In most cases, being patient involves more than just waiting and doing nothing.

Let's give an example. You've been working in a company for quite a while now, and you know that with your qualifications and experience and how much value you give to the company, you deserve a good raise.

If you sit down there waiting 'patiently' for your boss to realize that and give you the raise, you might wait forever.

In this case, patience involves planning on when and how to professionally inform your boss that you deserve a raise, and doing it at just the right time and using just the right words to maximize your chances of getting one.

Another example is this. Let's say you started a business or an enterprise. Of course, like all entrepreneurs, you expect your enterprise to be a million or even a billion dollar enterprise.
If you sit down and do not find out and actually implement the steps in expanding your company, then 'the patient dog' adage won't workout for you.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS
With the information you now have. Make analysis of whatever situation presents itself. Try to apply this saying to your case making sure that everything fits.

ACTION is the name of the game. Without action, nothing gets done.

Even if for example, you're being patient with an annoying or alcoholic spouse, you can't just sit down there and wait for things to get better.

Without deliberate action, nothing gets better.
You have to engage in dialogue. You have to convince your spouse to come with you to see a therapist, etc. You have to give him/her time to see if there would be any improvement, while still patiently engaging in dialogue and therapy.
What if the spouse is uncooperative?

Then no matter how patient you get, you're not likely to get any positive results. In which case, you're not being patient, you're simply suffering.

Now, to contrast the two adages we gave while we started above (the patient dog adage and the early bird adage), they are not actually opposite sayings as most guys will like to argue.

You can be early and patient; you can be late and impatient; you can be early and impatient; you can be late and patient.

Know the difference and act accordingly.

Hope you've learned a thing or two?

Cheers.

kimbra:
Perhaps there was no sign of seriousness on your part.

okay. I hear. No be only seriousness

Luckygurl:
Y'know, you might have had something important to tell her but the way you called out to her has alot of impact.
Did you go about calling her out rudely and maybe using terms you feel sound sweet but in the real sense it's irritating just because it's coming from a total stranger.

Take for instance, a guy probably driving saw some girl that tickled his fancy and stopped.
Courtesy demands he gets down from the car if he chooses to have a decent conversation with her.
You don't expect the girl to perhaps bend down whilst trying to poke her head in through the side window to hear what you've got to say, all these happening while you're sitted down comfortably.
Little things like this matter alot if you ask me.

That been said, we female folks act rudely atimes and sincerely it's uncalled for.

Dear, I'm civilized. I respect ladies a lot. I said, Hello, excuse me...

kimbra:
You stood still at a place, calling her and expected her to change her course just because she needs to hear from you. Since you're the one who needed a favour like you said you wanted to ask her something. Why didn't you approach her with your question?.

At least, she for stop naa. She just kept walking away doing catwalk for me

So, I was calling this lady. I wanted to ask her something. I didn't want to toast her. I just wanted to inquire something of her. The way she kept her face straight and changed her steps while walking away from me will let you know that she heard that I was calling her. She still ignored me.

I had to shout before she looked my way, still walking away. I was talking to her and she was still walking away.

Smh... Ladies, abeg, not all guys that are calling you wants to toast you. When someone is calling you, go first and find out why they are calling you. Don't be too proud of yourself. Even if they want to toast you, still go and hear them out.

That incident pissed me off real bad.

No be say the girl even fine sef. One black charcoal thing. Mtchewww...

I want to share with you the solution to a problem I once encountered with my PC sometime ago.

I used a program know as DriverPack Solution to update all my drivers. I was just trying out new stuff with the PC.

Before trying to do the update, everything was working perfectly. Windows update didn't indicate that any driver was obsolete, still I insisted on using that program to update my drivers.

Which brings us to this Warning.

If your PC is working fine, and Windows update doesn't indicate that there are obsolete drivers, do not try to use any driver tool to update.

You may download unsigned or unsupported drivers which may negatively affect your system like it did mine.

Always use windows update to check if there are any updates for your system. If not, it means your system is up to date to the best it can possibly be at that instant.

If you really need to download a particular driver, then it's very important you go to your system's manufacturer's website. Anywhere else may prove problematic.

Anyway, I opened the DriverPack Solutions program and started the updating process. It showed me the drivers that were presumably outdated and I clicked 'update all'.

After the updating process completed, I restarted the system. That is when the problem began. I noticed that my system was now significantly slow. I couldn't run games or some big programs. Everything was slowing down very significantly.

I opened task manager and checked what was consuming my PC resources. That is when I found this 'System Interrupts' thing.

It's in everyone's PC, but at less than 5% of PC processor usage. But mine at that time was up to 65% of total processor usage.

My PC then was almost useless to me since I can only do basic things which can consume only up to 35% or less, also considering the fact that other background programs still had their own share of the processor to use. To make matters worse, my PC is an AMD dual core 1.3GHz

I tried using google search to look for solutions. I checked Microsoft's help page and other windows forums. I tried a lot of the instructions I found on all the sites. I couldn't understand some of the instructions on some of the sites.

One easy way of course to fix this problem was to do a system restore and restore the PC to a previous point in time when I hadn't done the driver updates. But unfortunately for me, that wasn't working.

I had formatted and was now using the Recovery drive for my personal files.

I could reinstall windows entirely, but that would involve losing all my installed apps and other vital information. I didn't want that.

I knew I could find a solution if I kept looking.
Almost a week or more had passed. I was growing impatient.

A lot of the sites I visited kept telling me that System Interrupts involves a software or driver not fully supported by a hardware component of the PC. It was either this explanation or a more complicated version of it.

One page then instructed me to keep disabling my drivers one after the other to troubleshoot which driver was causing the problem.

I did exactly that and discovered that it was the Synaptics Touchpad driver.

I promptly went to device manager and rolled back the driver, and BINGO... the system interrupts was gone.

So, If you encounter a problem like I did, try the solution that I tried.

First try to restore your PC. If that doesn't work, try rolling back all your drivers one at a time, or try uninstalling the last program you installed before the problem started.

One of these will very likely solve the problem.
