The US Air Force hired Galpin Auto Sports to transform Dodge Challenger into a serious supercar.The result,a Dodge "Vapor" Challenger.

It had previously commissioned the “X-1” Mustang, which saw the regular Ford cabin swapped out for a fighter jet cockpit, ejector seat, and flight stick included. Stepping up its own game, in 2009, the Air Force presents the Dodge Vapor: the Challenger you’ll never see/feel coming.

The Dodge Challenger toured the U.S. for more than seven years(2009-2016) with the Air Force Recruiting Service, educating the public on opportunities for officers and enlisted airmen by showcasing U.S. Air Force ingenuity, state-of the-art technology, and innovation.

The stealth-black Air Force Challenger ‘Vapor’ features a biometric access to open the vertical doors, a custom stealth exhaust mode that allows the vehicle to run in complete silence or the headers can be opened facilitate the aggressive sound of the engine.

The vehicle also boast of a shaker hood, radar-absorbing paint ,proximity sensors and a 360-degree camera with a quarter-mile range.

Interior
The Challenger ‘Vapor’ interior features aircraft style controls, a passenger side steering wheel, GPS tracking, night and thermal vision via a film on the front windshield, and the most technologically-advanced computer system with remote control UAV-type access from anywhere in the world utilizing the Internet. The ‘Vapor’ also comes with two custom flight helmets in line with the Air Force theme of the vehicle.

The Challenger Vapor is now on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
A major part of the museum’s mission is to inspire the youth toward an Air Force or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) career, and the supercar is an assets been utilize to help them accomplish that goal.

I know most of us are likely to have one or two things that turn us off when we see a lady.

For me, I am not perfect and am not saying all ladies should be perfect, one of my turn off is a lady that looks/ behave like a man. It's a great turn off for me.

Secondly, extremely flat chest is also a big turn off.

Thirdly, I also dislike the opposite of flat chest which is excessive boobs, I mean over sabi boobs walahi na turn off oo. Am sure you guys have one or two to say.

You can't spill BS on the cyberspace and refrain others from qouting you. No one is taking anything personal here. You've never studied at Unilag but you're convinced you've done a lot more than you counterparts in Unilag. Does that make sense to you?

Now, I've never been to Babcock but on this same forum, one of you colleagues wouldn't cease to bore us with epistles of injustice being melt upon you all and the way the management is being dubious with the NUC accreditation team by halting some bona-fide students from attending classes till after accreditation. The guy was pained and full of regrets. How unfortunate! I can help you with the source as soon as I return from church. I know it wouldn't change much either, you've got to defend your frail school.

Happy Sunday bro! Cheers.


Well, it makes sense because i applied the same time with other people. And we interact and discuss how far we have gone

As far as i am concerned. The accreditations took place during the examinations. And no one had lectures. Maybe its the fault of one lecturer. But i aint gonna go off topic

You know Unilag didn't offer you admission. Please, accept my condolence. Persuade yourself all you can by saying you are ahead. Equally let the world know you're ahead just by the academic calendar and nothing more. How would you opt for that Seven Days Adventist school to face hell for four years and at the end, have nothing tangible to show for it? If you had written Covenant, I may have kept my cool but Babcock? You know you aren't enjoying that hellish experience right now.
I dont know why you re taking this personal. I just stated what happened. Some people can be argued with. But i cant argue with someone like you. It would be fruitless.
Have you attended babcock or you re just speaking from what you read online or what someone told you?

I am enjoying my life in babcock. And i have done a lot more than my unilag counterparts.

Science/Technology / Re: Most Common Passwords 2017 by NigerianScholar: 4:01pm On Dec 22, 2017
This is location dependent. I am guessing most of these passwords are from america. Wish we could get the statistics of the passwords nigerians use
sainttobs:
Every year, the most frequently leaked passwords are released, and 123456 has long been at the top. Hence, today in this article we will show you the most common passwords of 2017. SplashData had gathered the passwords by looking at more than 5 million passwords that were made public following few data breaches in 2017.


Most Common Passwords of 2017


We are already at end of 2017, and if we talk about security, then it will be good to hope that we’ll get a bit wiser, too. According to a new survey from password manager and digital vault company Keeper, the 2017’s most common passwords will shock you!


Keeper has revealed 2017’s most common passwords, and once again the reports don’t seem to be on the safe side regarding security. The numeric combination of ‘123456’ was the most common password of 2017.


Keeper had gathered the password by looking at 10 million passwords that were made public following few data breaches in 2017. Previous year 123456 was used by nearly one in five users.


The reports from Keeper also states that four of top 10 passwords on the list consists of six characters or shorter, passwords like ‘12345678’, ‘111111’, ‘1234567890’, ‘1234567’, ‘password’, ‘123123’, ‘987654321’ are among the top ten list.A study by multiple web hosts revealed that most passwords were extremely week. If using a simplified password for your SME website try using Bluehost’s automated website password protect system.


According to Keeper Security “This is stunning in light of the fact that, as we have reported, today’s brute-force cracking software and hardware can unscramble those passwords in seconds, Website operators that permit such flimsy protection are either reckless or lazy,”


“Nearly 17 percent of users are safeguarding their accounts with ‘123456’. What perplexed us is that so many website operators are not enforcing password security best practices”.


Every year, the most frequently leaked passwords are released, and 123456 has long been at the top. This year was no exception: here are the 25 worst passwords to use, while the famous six-number sequence is still the most common.


The list was made by security company SplashData, which collected more than 5 million leaked passwords to identify the most popular. Usually, a popular password means a bad password because it is the first choice of malicious people to try to hack into your account.



Check out the passwords that you should avoid at any cost in any login (and ranking variation):-



123456 (did not change position)

Password (not changed)

12345678 (up one position)

qwerty (rose two)

12345 (lose two)

123456789 (new)

letmein (new)

1234567 (not changed)

football (lost four)

iloveyou (new)

admin (has climbed four)

welcome (has not changed)

monkey (new)

login (lost three)

abc123 (lost one)

starwars (new)

123123 (new)

dragon (rose one)

passw0rd (lost one)

master (has uploaded one)

hello (new)

freedom (new)

whatever (new)

qazwsx (new)

trustno1 (new)


In general, passwords are obvious, and: have no variation of uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters; or are very short. Have you learned here in 9jatechguru that one of these two criteria should be used to create strong passwords.


If you want to continue using easy-to-remember references to your passwords, such as Starwars, an alternative is to create little phrases like “I love Chewbacca!”, Which are incredibly difficult to guess (5-year-old to be precise), but you can remember easily.


In addition, I can not fail to recommend a password manager, such as 1Password, and enable two-step verification of the main services that you use. So even if a hacker sets the password, he will not be able to log in.


Lastly, under no circumstances repeat the same password in several services and, if a login is leaked, change the password quickly and stay safe.


So, what do you think about this? Simply share your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

Religion / Re: 10 Ways To Enjoy Christmas When You Are Broke by NigerianScholar: 3:58pm On Dec 22, 2017
This is surviving not enjoying
deturla:
First appeared on Deedeesblog.com:

Okay so, there is heightened anxiety for you. You are stressed and wondering how the Christmas will go when you have little bucks in your account. Your friends are busy displaying their heavy financial status by pre-ordering and ordering Christmas gifts for loved ones. Colleagues are busy talking about the shows, and the monies they will lavish when the yuletide day comes up.

What will you do?

Suck? Feel unhappy? Or agitated that your Christmas will not go the way you earlier planned? There you got it all wrong, you can have fun and still rock your Christmas season even if you are BROKE!

Now I can see you shifting at the edge of your seat (phone). Yes! Sure! You can have the fun of your life with little or no money in your account!

Christmas is unarguably the most festive season of the year and its celebrations are always off the hook. It takes an awful lot of planning, and if executed well brings flawless and soothing results. It is indeed a time to spread love; not the kind spread in the valentine season but a different kind. It’s also the time most rekindle their church going streak (especially in Africa) which may have been lacking for some time; and also the season when old tunes probably as old as our ancestors (maybe even older) come back in vogue and seem to have never lost their appeal.

For most people, Christmas season is the best time to spoil one’s self silly, dine in the most expensive restaurants, visit the biggest shopping malls, buy tickets to go see the biggest music concerts of the year, take soothing trips and most of all, spend every waking moment at the cinema seeing the biggest Christmas blockbusters.

But, is Christmas season just about spending a whole lot of money? Yes, you need money to have an ideal good time but certainly not tons of it.

But Hey, you can have a very fulfilling Christmas without money on you. You’d be surprised at just how you can achieve spending Christmas on a zero budget.

You want to ask me how? Let’s get to it then! I’ll show you.

First off, I’ll divide these 10 ways to enjoy Christmas when you are broke into two categories; Go Cheap, and Go Creative.

GO CHEAP

1. Have a sale:

Hey, there is absolutely no shame in sourcing for a little cash especially when there’s none. What’s the big deal? It’s just a yard sale.

Well, you probably have a couple of items that you haven’t used in a really long while that have not lost their value. You could do a check to see what those items are and if you can really afford to not use them any more before you put them up for sale.

It’s also best to check what best price to place on those items to avoid them remaining unsold. Listen, it’s easy money and it’s yours if only you can swallow your pride already and have a yard sale. Who doesn’t love a cheap valuable sale? Well, don’t answer that. I know I do. So, go on, get them together before it’s too late, put a placard up that says “On-going yard sale; lowest prices ever” and make that cheddar. You’d be surprised at how much you could make to spoil yourself silly.

2. Re-Use Decorations:

Indeed, the true beauty of Christmas is in the decorations we put up everywhere. Each year, people (especially neighbors) try to outdo each other. We all want the most beautifully lit front yards, the most decorated Christmas trees drowning in glittering ornaments and priceless designs. We want it all. But, must we buy new decorations each year? Must we shell out a whole lot of money to buy what we already have just because we feel we want new ones? Isn’t that excessiveness? Believe me, it’s another word for it. Well, newsflash, plastic bottles aren’t the only things we can reuse, decorations are too. So go on, bring out those old ornaments and crystals, pull out that old lighting, plug it in. I’m sure it still shines as bright as a new one. Hang it around the house, use it even to create fun glittering words that inspire the true spirit of Christmas. Make sure your neighbors see it, if they don’t, then its use is wasted. Again, you’ve got nothing to be ashamed of, it’s Christmas.

3. Create A Budget/Plan:


Everybody on a steady income knows that the most effective way to manage money is to create a budget for it. I once had plans to pay off a few debts and I had a particular amount of money to do that and I needed a little more to meet my payment plan. I made an estimate of how much I would get to complete it because I felt it was inevitable that I would get the rest of the cash. But along the line, I forgot to make plans on how to start with the amount I had at hand. I felt I could maybe hold on to it, or even take a few off of it believing a replacement would happen when the new cash came in; so I spent some of it and the replacement plan never happened. Then slowly, I spent more of it till it was all gone. Was it stupid of me to believe that I’d get more money later? No, it wasn’t. Was it also stupid not to budget the little bit I had already so i could use it efficaciously? Yes it was.

No income earner is ever really flat broke. We always have a little something stashed away, no matter how little. So I say, create a list of everything you need to get, cross off the irrelevant, and make the most pressing or easier-to-get ones a priority. Estimate how much each priority would cost and allocate a particular amount of what you have to each. This will help you gain more with what you have already. Feel free to cross off an irrelevant trip to the spa and replace it with the purchase of comfy slippers as an achievable priority. It can even be a much better gift to yourself. I’m just saying.

4. Shut Out The Temptation:

It’s everywhere, on every turn, all up in our faces, ideas of what things to get ourselves for Christmas. Tempting us badly cause it obviously has the upper hand. It has our undivided attention. They are mostly very excessive things that we don’t need at all, but because everyone is talking about it, the want for it is heightened in us. I remember wanting an iPhone for Christmas just because most of my friends had gotten one for themselves.

They obviously had planned it along while back, but me, I just wanted to get one for myself because it looked good when they showed it to me. So try your best to shut out the screaming temptation. Avoid commercials on cable TV. Do not, I repeat, do not go to the mall, some things there, you can never un-see. Rather, busy yourself with other time fulfilling activities and you will surely testify when Christmas is over.

5. Buy Smaller/Less Expensive Gifts:

Due to the little budget you have, your purchases must march what you need. Don’t go breaking your neck buying a huge baking oven when you can easily get a micro wave. The idea of getting smaller and less expensive gifts is to work around your budget and save a few bucks. After all, you’ve got very little, why try to pull a Mayweather when you know you can’t afford to. He can easily afford that, you can’t.

6. Have A Small Get Together?

If you are one of those people who can’t eat alone and enjoy having friends over to dine with you, then you have nothing to worry about. But you have definitely got to think small though. Forget about what you’re and how you used to do it. You can still have friends over, yes, nothing more than five persons though. Six upwards may be a bit excessive and believe me, you may not be able to afford it.

You could put together a small dinner without breaking a sweat. Yes, you can get a good cheap turkey, make some salad, cook some food with the ingredients you have (you’ve got to be a good cook though to pull it off) and get some juice. Then dinner is served. You could all watch a movie on your TV later. You see? Effective.

7. Going Out? Think Small:

You obviously can’t afford to afford to take yourself on an expensive outing because, duh! You’re broke. So here’s what you could do instead, google cheap places to have a good time; it could be a random karaoke bar that also serves a good meal or even, you could go bowling. You could even go to the beach with some friends and take your own food along. There are so many interesting places to visit that don’t come with huge price tags.

8. Go Visiting

It’s Christmas, the best time in the year to give and also to share. I’ll let you in on a secret, Christmas season is also the best time to ask for things and not seem like a beggar. You could easily ask a friend for an invite to have Christmas dinner with him/her. Believe me, they’d be happy to have you except you’ve got stingy friends. So go on, give it a try, it’d be fun.

GO CREATIVE

9. Make Your Own Decorations:

How handy are you around the house? How creative can you be? The easiest way to save money you don’t have is to create your own stuff and not buy them. You could hack down an old tree, decorate it with some shiny old jewelry and put it up in the house. Hang some socks around, cut paper into certain decorative pieces (say the ginger bread man or maybe greeting cards) and hang it up too. You could also wrap a few boxes and place them under the tree. Trust me, you’d love it when you’re done.

10. Make Your Own Gifts:

This is another totally money free way to join in the Christmas fun. You could knit a few sweaters on your own if you can, effortlessly design your own customized cards for friends and family. You could even wrap up a few gifts you haven’t used before and give to someone who needs it.

You certainly can’t miss out on the Christmas fun because you’re broke. Make what you have work for you.

Dapromzy333:

The need for high JAMB score in your quest for University admission cannot be overemphasized. The question now is, how can I score very high in Jamb 2018?

The answers are;

Early Preparations.

Get the right textbooks.

Develop a study habit.

Use past questions.

Identify your weak point.

Understand the association connection.

Learn the exam strategies

Study read.

Be Up to date.

Learn basic concepts in computer.

1. EARLY PREPARATIONS

Don’t wait for the exams to be close before you start preparations. Early preparation gives you an edge; don’t think that there is still time.
Live your life with sense of urgency. Have the mentality, ” I am behind schedule”. Begin to set targets because it will give you a powerful drive towards the exam.
Do you want to score 350+ in Jamb? It all begins from now. Remember, a man who fails to plan is indirectly planning to fail.
Joshua Abuwa said, “The problem with a lot of young persons today is that they don’t have visions, they only have television”. In your quest for university admission, what can you see?. Your worth in life is tied to the quality use of your mind.

2. GET THE RIGHT BOOKS

Empty the coins in your purse into your mind and your mind will fill your purse with gold. Reading quality books for your examination will give you nothing, but quality grades.

For every examination, there is a course outline. This guides you on the topics and parts of the topics to cover. It is essential you get the books that cover the required topics and sub-topics.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) usually recommends texts. Get them and start studying as soon as possible.

3. DEVELOP A STUDY HABIT

Your habits determine your habitat. It is high time you develop a solid study habit. Need help? here is how to start. Before you study, make sure that you are relaxed physically, emotionally and mentally. The following study practices might be of good help to you.

Study in an environment that is best conducive for you. It doesn’t really need to be calm; if a noisy area is OK for you, go with it.
Read with revelation. Draw a plan of what you should achieve after the study.

All materials that guarantee smooth learning must be ready to avoid searching in the midst of learning.

Get a Jotter to put down salient facts.
Don’t skip any part of the material if you don’t understand it.

Prepare a study time-table and follow it consecutively.

How to remember 90% of what you have read

4. USE PAST QUESTIONS

Past questions are the picture of the future. The future here speaks of the exam you are preparing for. Studying with past questions will act as positive catalyst for your exam. The importance of past questions is they help you to br /> Know the nature of questions to expect.
Identify the dark spots in your text books
Take note of the frequently asked questions.
Examine your level of preparation by putting yourself in the exam condition.
Boosts your confidence.

Note: Most past questions pack have answers at the back. Do not check the answers before you solve the problems. Just make sure that you understand the questions.

5. IDENTIFY YOUR WEAK POINT

Like I always say, “telling yourself the truth is honesty but telling others is integrity.
Find out what works for you and what doesn’t. Find that the subjects and topics you find very easy to learn. In addition, don’t run away from the ones giving you tough time.
Do everything possible to give them tough time too. Just imagine losing 80 marks in mathematics just because you fail to fall in love with it. Handle your weakness or your weakness will handle you.

6. THE ASSOCIATION CONNECTION

Who you associate with determines whether you will dissociate or appreciate. There are people who add to your life, those that subtract from you, those that divide and those that multiply you.
Identify those who add to and multiply your success. There is no where you want to go that people haven’t gone to. Look for people whose realities are your dreams.

7. LEARN THE EXAM STRATEGIES

There are things that don’t seem reasonable but are capable of making you responsible. Understand the following strategies

Any question you get wrong, there are people who will get it right.

Some answers follow a pattern. This pattern can help you get the questions you don’t know the correct answers to.
After every 30 minutes go back to the questions you think you have answered to be sure if you actually answered it correctly. Sometimes the brain deceives.

Increase your speed and don’t leave any option blank.

8. STUDY DEEPLY

No matter the motivational books you have read on exam success, the efficacy of hard work cannot be over emphasized. Don’t study for exams the way you study newspapers. Put in effort in your study. Study, but study wise.

9. BE UP TO DATE

Be up to date on your exam date and procedures. Don’t fail to read articles relating to exam success as well. Visit SolutionClass.Com.Ng for news relating to your school.

10. LEARN BASIC CONCEPTS

Learn computer since most of your exams will be computer based. Make sure you click the answers and also confirm that you have actually ticked.

Webmasters / Re: Should I Quit Blogging? by NigerianScholar: 9:13am On Dec 13, 2017
Vibesking:
I lauched my blog 8 months ago and I was quite aware it wasn't going to be easy coupling my day job with writing articles.

I try to maintain some level of consistency by at least posting once/twice a week. But my efforts seems to be falling to the group.

The traffic is pathetic! It shatters my heart and eats up any form of motivation when ever I look at it. I get an average of 20 views per day. I've applied and tried basically all I know but the growth appears static.

How long did it take before you started getting good traffic to your blog?

I blog about computers and honestly, I doubt if am going to renew my hosting package.

Any thoughts?


Yes, you should quit?


I am not being wicked. I am saying so cos i have been there. You are well past your prime

2. Many stories about SARS are all lies: I wonder what some people derive in tarnishing the name of the Special Anti Robbery squad. Mnay people have been faking horrible stories about SARS just to be relevant. The government should look into this and fish out the culprits.

Phones / Re: Things To Consider When Buying Smartphones. by NigerianScholar: 4:53pm On Dec 03, 2017
Some of the points you mentioned are not accurate scientifically. A bigger battery doesnt always mean the phone will last longer. I believe the most important factor is after sales support. All in the name of loyalty. I got a blackberry dtek 50. Great phone. Until i broke the screen. Searched the whole of computer village and online repair shops. I couldnt get it fixed. That was since last year september
basidoo:
There is no need to keep wondering, asking people, or searching the internet for different models of smartphones and then pestering on which one to buy.

1. OS Version: Check the phone out if its OS version isn't one of the latest in town, don't even risk it because it doesn't worth it. As of the time of this post writing Android version 8.0 is the latest so a version of 4.4 below is considered to be outdated and insecure.
2. Security/Extra Features: [/b]Most smartphones these days have started coming with extra security features such as fingerprint sensor or even iris sensors. These are not just to lock/unlock a handset but as a password to access certain files, documents or apps. You should chose a phone with advantage over your friend's or boss or even your co-workers phone.It's preferable to buy a smartphone with these extra security features since most of us have personal information on our handsets these days.
3. [b]Battery:
Gone are those days of using phones with 1,300mAh, an average/light internet user should consider buying a phone of at least 5000mAh which could last a day. But if you are the heavy user type, i would suggest you buy a 10000mAh (cool isn't it). And also you don't just get to buy a phone with large battery capacity but slow charging. Things won't get done.
4. Camera: If you are the selfie type you should also consider your camera since its essential in your selfie life. Just having higher number of megapixels does not mean that the smartphone camera is better. Several specifications such as camera aperture, ISO levels, pixel size, autofocus and more are essential as well. A 16MP rear camera does not necessarily be better than a 12MP camera. Same theory goes for the front-facing camera.

Higher number of pixels mean that the size of the image is bigger, which becomes more sharper when seen on a small screen. A photographer enthusiast might want a camera with 12 or 16MP sensor under f/2.0 or lower aperture for speedy shots even in low lights. A casual shooter can go by even with an 8MP 0r 12MP camera with f/2.0-f/2.2 aperture.
5. Storage: Your storage spec does matter when it comes to choosing a phone for yourself. Firstly you need a phone of at least 1G ROM and up to 32G SD Card. A 16GB/32GB/64GB or more don’t really come with exact mentioned space. If you like to keep less number of apps on your devices, you can go for 32GB storage.

Users who like to keep larger number of apps can go for 64GB or 128GB variants. You can also buy a 16GB model that supports microSD card as well.
6. Processor: The processing power of a smartphone varies from one device to another depending on several factors such as OS version, UI, bloatware and more.

If you are a heavy user who need to edit images/videos/documents online, play heavy games, stream videos or often use apps in split screen mode, then smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or Snapdragon 820/821 should make multitasking fluid for you.

Light users will be happy with handsets that come with MediaTek processors.
7. Audio Quality: Speakers and the quality of audio coming out of it can be an important parameter for those who rely on heavy video streaming or video conferences. If you like entertainment-on-the-go, buy a handset that has front-facing speakers. This gives clear sound even while holding the smartphone in landscape mode.

If you don’t indulge in video streaming or video conferencing much, then a regular handset with bottom-firing speakers should be just fine. Those with speakers placed at the back are also fine.processor

I hope you find the best amongst the best of phones.

Romance / Re: Somalian Mother Of 4 Shares Her Nude Photo, Talks About Body Insecurities by NigerianScholar: 8:33am On Dec 01, 2017
Drinokrane:
A Somalian mother of 4, Kokobie took to her Instagram to share her nude photo as she talks about how ‘Perfect is unattainable’.
She also revealed her past insecurities about her boobs.

She wrote;
“I always had big boobs for the most part of my life like DDD.

I had my first child at the age of 18. I #breastfed and pumped for a year and half. I have had #momboobs for the last 17 years. They changed with every child.

I have 4 kids and I breastfed them all about the same time. I’m actually still #breatfeeding
and until recently I was sure I was going to get my brest done once I was finished having babies. When I was younger I was super insecure about my boobies. I just wanted them small so I can go bra free. Today I don’t feel the same about them at all.

I L VE them! They have been supplying an abundance of milk to my children and they still are. They are a big source of comfort to my babies and my L VE adores them. I totally respect any woman’s decision to get plastic surgery. But for me, thank God, I didn’t go through with it! We, as women, do a lot to ourselves to fit in that perfect box. According to society, we all are imperfect.

Unfortunately, most of us buy that shit! Perfect is unattainable. As a result, we pick ourselves and each other apart. What for? Why can’t we just be naturally beautiful? Whatever we choose to do to our bodies should be respected. The human body is mindblowing. It’s beautiful. It’s sacred. It’s the only one we get. I choose to #respect #nourish #appreciate #adore and #celebrate #mytemple just the way it is. Any and all negative comments will get you blocked. #motherof4 #mother #woman #LOVEmybush #natural #naturalbeauty #wild #wildwoman #feelfree #livefree #freedom #LOVE #selfL
VE #selfcare”
