You're a good wife material by this comment������


[1quote author=virginprincess post=112570450]Honestly, pregnancy is not easy, it has disfigured some women but it has also makes some women look more beautiful, men should learn how to respect and appreciate women especially their wives and mothers because it is not easy carry pregnancy for good 9months.










Modified: cheesy cheesy cheesy, I don't know why most nairaland men are pained by my comment, for those of you asking me what's stressful about carry a baby, I'm sure you have mothers, sisters and wives, you guys should go ask them, honestly I don't know why you guys are attacking me it was just a harmless comment .

Are you one of 15 PhD students who will create reliable AI for underwater robots in exciting European network?
The European Training Network REMARO on Reliable AI for Marine Robotics is searching candidates for 15 PhD positions. We seek candidates with interests in artificial intelligence, robotics, and software safety and reliability (software engineering and formal methods). There are 15 different research projects available with different prerequisites and focus, located in Copenhagen, Oslo, Porto, Bremen, Aachen, and Delft.

REMARO is a team of experienced researchers in marine robotics, AI, software testing and verification opening a PhD program with research topics on reliable autonomy for underwater applications. Nine academic research labs and five companies from five countries operate the network supported by a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant from the European Commission.

Autonomous robotics underwater is still a dream. Most robots are remotely controlled and need complex infrastructure. The objective of REMARO is to make underwater robots more autonomous. We want robots to be able to perform complex underwater missions independently, without causing harm to themselves or to the environment.

If you are interested in Robotics AI, the following research areas are for you:

Cognitive mission planning (Positions #6, #cool
Knowledge service (digital twin) for submarine inspection (Positions #10, #11)
Vision-based and sonar-based localization and navigation (Positions #2, #3, #6)
Machine learning for perception and vision (Positions #1, #2, #3)
If you are interested in Software Engineering, Formal Methods, Testing or Verification consider the following research areas:

Probabilistic model-checking, and verification for planning (Positions #9, #13, #14)
Continuous Quality Assurance (devops) for controllers with dynamic knowledge (Positions #8, #15)
Probabilistic testing, model-based testing, and property-based testing for AI controlled systems (Positions #4, #7, #12)
System-level safety analysis for robotics and AI (Position #5, #8, #9)
The recruitment for 15 PhD positions on topics from these areas is joint. To increase your chances to get a position in an area of your interest, please choose and prioritize three topics from the detailed list at https://remaro.eu/index.php/positions/. You are encouraged to contact supervisors of the individual projects with technical questions about the planned research and practical questions about the hosting university and the local working environment.

What are the benefits of being a PhD student in our research network?
You will benefit from the collaboration with multiple universities, internships with high-tech companies, and training in scientific and general skills including a PhD school every semester. All these activities will prepare you for a successful career both in academia and in private sector. All 15 students will form a distributed team, that can collaborate and offer mutual support. All will work with experts in diverse fields of REMARO. The research projects come with budget to access equipment, labs (including underwater robotics labs), training sites, and research dissemination events (conferences). Do you want to join this effective and visionary team?

In my polite way, I feel you should have already done a thorough survey on the University and the major course of study at the University before applying for a PhD study...your question should be directed to the cost of living, access to fund or grant, lifestyle of foreign PhD students in Turkey, etc...Is good we're guided the way we present or ask questions as a prospective PhD applicants. Thanks!

You're on point bro. I lived in the East for more than 15 years; I can boldly say they CAN NEVER employ a non-indigene to their job. It's a clear indication that she controls the husband alot like a toy, imagine someone who still bears her father's name with her husband own...May Ondo state don't experience pain!


flokii:
Well Mr. Akeredolu, it's your own side of the story you shared, we haven't heard those of other parties involved. You have been accused severally of being a simp that take orders from his Igbo wife to favour Igbos over Ondo indigenes. A good example is the young ex Corper lady from Imo state who never lived in Ondo that you appointed as Special Assistant when legit Ondo born full ground. If that's not FOOLISHNESS then I don't know what else to call it, sorry for the language but it is what it is. That you are a governor today is because you are an indigene of Ondo, so don't insult other indigenes like yourself to please your wife and her relatives.

Now that you've won, we expect you to retrace your steps, make peace with your kinsmen and give Ondo people what is rightfully theirs. Igbos don't employ or give appointments to other tribes in Igboland so stop creating bad blood around and do what is right.

Crime / Re: We Don’t Need Bank Insider To Transfer Money From Victims’ Phones ― Suspects by speakout2015: 12:37pm On Aug 28, 2020
Exactly. They've an insider working with them. No software anywhere in the world can generate your pin or password except been disclosed or hacked directly when the users of the phone or any computerized system is actively online...I guess they are under some oath not to confess or disclose the insider info. It's well!!

Lets keep disgracing ourselves as a country and continue to be a mockery to the entire world...even if 4 PhD and 200 Masters applied for the job, should you state it or declare their status...The government should be crying rather than laughing with their yansh been opened to the world...I pray God should have mercy on us in Nigeria!!!

The journalist hold him no apology. Quite unfortunate he is apologizing..The journalist done nothing wrong by asking such question. If FFK claims to be a sensible and responsible leader, he should have answered the question in a polite way even in a technical form by throwing questions back to the Journalist to know his motive of asking such questions rather than disgracing himself publicly to the world. Quite disappointing!!!!

Little would I imagine how affected the mental reasoning of this current generation of youth we have...This is a matter that solidly affects us all; instead for us to show encouragement and believe in the lawyer who has come out boldly to sue the federal government, we're shouting the guy is hungry, the guy wan trend like Festus Keyamo...is well...May our right and freedom never turn to bondage and sorrow to us soonest..let's keep watching!!!

Nigeria tossed same Coin years back and now they are reaping it...Just about the law of retrogression. Is better we accept the balance as African irrespective of our dispute and differences so that we won't continue to be a disgrace to the world and to ourselves as Africans. Am defending no one here just sharing my view.

I wish the Ghanaian government and their instituted law best of luck but they should know that is matter of time; whatever anyone or government is sowing now, they will definitely reap it soonest. I strongly believe Nigeria image and glory shall be restored soonest!!!
