Point of correction. Epub is a file format. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB)

Hahaha. I guess you are referring to this:


"EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension.epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers. It is a technical standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum(IDPF). The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub."
On wikipedia abi?


Would you also say that their is an "ebook file format?"
Generally speaking, yes, there is an ebook file format, but technically, no such format exist; just like epub.
Rather. Epub is a term used by IDPF to describe files that can be read through e reading devices like kindle/nooks, ipad, android etc .
Continue your research, cos I stand to be corrected.

ferhyntorlah:
I need to correct a misinformation in your comment.

epub not epup is an eBook file format just like mobi, pdf and the rest of them.

There's no need to convert doc/docx files to mobi/epub/pdf to upload to Amazon. Amazon does that for you automatically when you upload a formatted word file.

sorry, is typo-error: epub is right. Now let me teach you about "epub" meaning electronic publications. Online videos, images, books are called "epub.". It's. Not a file format. Many epub comes in the following formats: mobi, pdf etc.
On amazon format, I agree that amazon accept doc/docx, rtf, and pdf files, however, the files are converted for you to mobi format, which is digital format for kindle readers. If you're publishing for createspace print on demand platform, no problem; but not best for KDP.
When amazon converts your files, you do not have control of the final outcome of the page. But if you do the conversion yourself, you can tell exactly how you pages will appear on kindle reader. Do more research or download kindle reading app to see how the book you uploaded in doc format actually appear. We are all learning though, thanks.

Hello good people, truely i got to know Amazon and even brought it to my friend's knowledge sometime back but when it got to publishing point and I inquire from some friends, those whom have heard of the site but they told me not to trust Amazon and it likes that they aren't real, that all they do is make a bloody living out of once hardwork while the author languish in poverty.
The question is, is it true or false

Don't worry, she can make a call if you are at work. It's not like nollywood portray it.

alright, thanks

mcdokwe:
I will tell you what helped when my daughte was born..

Her mothe read a lot and learnt almost all the signs, what to expect and all that. So when the edd drew near, the panic wasnt dear when she started feeling those apprehension but only prepped and went to the hospital. She was quite impresive for a first-time mum. Reading and mastering those signs by both of them would help a lot. Congrats ahead of you safe delivey of a sweet baby abi na triplets?

yes! that is what I told her to be doing

cococandy:
Have a bag packed and ready to go invade she goes into a labor at night. That will ale you feel more comfortable.
If this is her first child, the likelihood that she will go into impromptu labor is slim. Most likely it will happen one day before or after her scheduled due date. Usually after the given due date. Have no fear. You won't be rushing to deliver a baby by yourself in the middle of the night because your wife suddenly went into labor.

very useful comment here. Thanks dear.

eyinjuege:
He should go online and Google what to expect/do during labour. Or Google how a husband can help during labour.
Um sure there'll be loads of articles on that. That'll help him to be prepared a bit. He needs to be calm, so he doesn't be a nuisance on that day. I'm sure there'll be you tube videos of people in labour.
A lot of activities to do to make the time pass, how to do breathing exercises, how to be a source of support for the wife in that day instead of being a source of worry.
Once again, a clear, focused mind is needed. Even if he's anxious, he shouldn't project it on his wife

well understood. Thanks

You might be helping a soul with ur advise

Divinehealer:
Just breathe and relax. Think about the good times you would have with the baby.

ok, thanks

Hi my lovely and respectable nairalanders, I need us to help this young husband manage this childbirth anxiety. His wife is pregnant and is more than 35 weeks now, so the midwife has already told them to start preparing for the child's delivery.
Interesting thing here is that anxiety has taken over him as his wife look restless each day that passes, with either complain of waist, weakness, painful joint or an urge to throw up..
He feels helpless at each occasion, not knowing what to do, sometimes in the middle of the night. Though midwife says her situation is perfectly normal.
The problem is that he has heard of men who have had to wake their neighbors at mid night to seek for help simply because their wife is in labour.
Such an experience look very scary for him since he love his wife so much, and he just could not wait to see her deliver safely.
In the light of this, is their anything he should do that will help him prepare for this and possibly overcome this anxiety.
Fathers in the house, what was your experience with your wife's first childbirth and how did you prepare and managed it.
Even when he goes to work, he kept thinking that, perhaps labour may start in his absence, since he is not sure how women feel at such moments: not sure if she will be able to call him on phone, as it's only her at home most times.

Candid opinion needed pls

Has anyone checked and confirm any Bayelsa state number here, because all the ones that I have been checking is "invalid/wrong number" including mine.

MMM reacts to public scrutiny, re-opens accounts, existing members lose 80% of their money

Earlier today, MMM East Africa, MMM Global Zimbabwe’s parent organization, released a public statement on its website.
The statement gave notice to all members of the immediate suspension of its account freezing process, 9 days earlier than initially scheduled (accounts were to be reopened on the 15th of September).
The statement read:
MAVRO FREEZING IS CANCELLED!
05.09.2016
Dear participants!
We are glad to inform you that from now on, all the types of Mavro freezing are COMPLETELY CANCELLED – both the freezing of bonus Mavro (except Registration Bonus and Bonus for Testimonial Video) and the freezing of the contribution itself! Your bonuses and contributions are available for withdrawal instantly upon confirmation.
advertisement
Things are going so well in the System that there is no need in Mavro freezing any more.
Yours sincerely,
Administration
Together we change the world!

The suspension of the account freezing process comes off the back of increased public pressure, government scrutiny, and mobile money platforms distancing themselvesfrom it.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued a press statement warning the publicnot to get involved in schemes like MMM citing that in the case of loss of money, they had no legal precedence to assist affected members.
This was followed by a press statement from Econet’s EcoCash (mobile money) division effectively distancing themselvesfrom MMM and any other illegal activities its users participate in.
The move by MMM East Africa has created a fair bit of panic and confusion within the MMM Global Zimbabwe ranks.
Unfreezing of accounts could lead to a chain reaction of panic withdrawals as MMM members continue to grow speculative and frustrated with the system.
Also, there have been reports that the exchange rate of Mavro-to-USD has been affected, changing from $1-to-1 Mavros to $1-to-5 Mavros.
Mavros is MMM’s digital currency (your Mavros are calculated
We suspect the change in exchange rate is meant to prevent people from withdrawing as they could face massive losses of up to 80%.
But on the other hand, the change in the exchange rate could be to lure in new members promising that the exchange rate will stabilize back to 1-to-1 by the 15th.
Some existing members are crying foul calling this drastic measure unethical as new members are being offered free money while they are stuck in the system due to their accounts losing 80% of its value.
An old member who put in $100 and got 100 Mavros is not the same as a new member putting in $20 and getting 100 Mavros.
An unverified MMM East Africa Administrator statement read as follows:

Dear participants!
First of all, we inform you about the immediate release of Mavros bought till August 10. The situation has become more stable so there’s no need to wait till September 15 and we can release Mavros now.
However, as the participants aren’t calm completely the early release will surely lead to the sharp increase in withdrawals that will put additional load on the system. It should be clearly understood. So, it’s necessary to take some stabilization measures in order to reduce the load.
That’s why, the discount rate has applied for Mavros bought till August 10. What does it mean? It means after GH request the participant won’t get the whole amount but the amount with this discount.
For this moment, the discount rate is 20% (0.2). For example, if the participant withdraws 50 Mavro-USD he will get 10 USD.
Once again we remind you once that this measure is temporary and required by the current situation. The discount rate can be changed or cancelled at any moment. In other words, the participants have a choice to get help instantly and get it with the discount or wait till the discount is cancelled for receiving the full amount. It’s up to you! Probably, you should wait. However, take into consideration that the rate can even be decreased (if the number of requests to GH will increase significantly).
The discount isn’t applied for Mavros bought after August 10. So, keep calm, keep on participating, providing help and inviting new members to MMM!
MMM paid before, pays now and will pay in the future! Together we are changing the world!
With hope for understanding,
MMM East Africa Administration
We suspect that MMM unfroze accounts due to pressure, but found a loophole to keep people waiting.
September the 15th is still D-day for MMM Global Zimbabwe.
Signs of its collapse are becoming more evident by the day, as we await what could be the final nail in the coffin come 15 September.

As a regular driver on the road. Do you drive with your original driver's license in your pocket, even when you have a laminated photocopy with you? Or you drop it at home? Assuming you have it in your pocket and you did not commit any offense and your documents are complete; but your instinct tells you that this police team or even road safety officials want to extort money from you. You will give it to them abi?
Because they 'v checked your vehicle and have not told you of your offense but insist that you submit your original Driver's License, which is unusual though.
But again what if you left it at home, what do you do, as they may brand they photocopy as fake.
In the light of this, do you drive with it or leave it at home for fear of losing it to day to day hustling?

cheehummer:

@all, thanks. He really appreciates ur candid advice.

Project400:
Is he self-employed? What's the nature of the job?

he is self employed. But d issue is nt wheda it's good 2 work or not, or about nature of work. It's about saving the family from financial crises

5minsmadness:
She's being a woman, that's all.
She misses his company and her emotions are going haywire now that she's pregnant.
He should reassure her and spend some extra time with her whenever he has the chance, but he doesn't have to stop working on Sunday.

you've really spoken like a real man. Thanks

PresVA:
So he makes money for rent only on Sundays Smh...

Oga, you have to find a balance. .. Make out time for your family, simple...

EOD abeg...

thanks for the advise. He likes it when people talk of balancing work and family. That is what he has been trying to do for sometimes now but the need to increase income to ofset accumulating expenses is makin him sad.

crackhaus:
What kind of work demands his commitment even on sundays, every sunday?

this is a good guestion, U know that some business gives more money weekends, including sundays, than working days. His nature of business is also a factor

PresVA:
How much money is it you make on Sundays that you can't dedicate it to God/staying with your family?
Is staying with your family ONCE a week too much to ask? You have to find a balance between work and family life; really have to create time for your family...You wouldn't enjoy whatever money you make if your family isn't at peace...
You're lucky you have a wife that wants you around her....

Bottomline: I don't think your wife is "foolish" for asking you to stay with her just ONCE a week....
All d best...

u are right. But i guess nobody lov work more than relaxation. As a low income earner, assuming he listens to her. What wil she do when landlord comes knocking, and d money is not their. Like she'll say 'God'll provide' abi?

1kjobs:
He should skip church, stay at home with his wife and then go to work later in the day

she would not lik that option, cos it's a christian home. Though goin to church is not affecting him. 9a.m church is over, he goes to work at about 11a.m

With the current economic hardship, he goes to work on sundays, after church. But his wife wants him to stop working on sunday, because she feels lonely at home and thinks that it's not right as a christian. But he had to take care of the accumulating bills, especially now that she's pregnant. Pls is he being insensitive to her feeling or is she just being foolish as she's not working herself.
