A housewife forgot her Bank account PIN CODE which is a 5 digit
number,but luckily she remembered some hint on how to recall this
PIN CODE
(1)The first digit is the square of the second
(2)The sum of the second and third is 10
(3)The fourth is equal to the second plus 1
(4)The third and fifth makes 14
(5)The sum of all the digits is 30
What's the PIN CODE

One word for this guy that came up with this pathetic post.

Ellie Lobel was ready to die. Then she was attacked by bees. Christie Wilcox hears
how venom can be a saviour.
Ellie Lobel was 27 when she was bitten by a tick and contracted
Lyme disease. And she was not yet 45 when she decided to give up
fighting for survival.
Caused by corkscrew-shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which
enter the body through the bite of a tick, Lyme disease is diagnosed
in around 300,000 people every year in the United States. It kills
almost none of these people, and is by and large curable – if
caught in time. Antibiotics can wipe out the bacteria quickly before
they spread through the heart, joints and nervous system.
But back in the spring of 1996, Ellie didn’t know to look for the
characteristic bull’s-eye rash when she was bitten – she thought it
was just a weird spider bite. Then came three months with flu-like
symptoms and horrible pains that moved around the body. Ellie was
a fit, active woman with three kids, but her body did not know
how to handle this new invader. She was incapacitated. “It was all I
could do to get my head up off the pillow,” Ellie remembers.
Her first doctor told her it was just a virus, and it would run its
course. So did the next. As time wore on, Ellie went to doctor after
doctor, each giving her a different diagnosis. Multiple sclerosis. Lupus.
Rheumatoid arthritis. Fibromyalgia. None of them realised she was
infected with Borrelia until more than a year after she contracted
the disease – and by then, it was far too late.
“I just kept doing this treatment and that treatment,” says Ellie. Her
condition was constantly worsening. She describes being stuck in bed
or a wheelchair, not being able to think clearly, feeling like she’d
lost her short-term memory and not feeling “smart” anymore. “I
would get better for a little while, and then I would just relapse
right back into this horrible Lyme nightmare. And with every relapse
it got worse.”
After 15 years, she gave up. “Nothing was working any more, and
nobody had any answers for me,” she says. “I didn’t care if I was
going to see my next birthday. It’s just enough. I was ready to call it
a life and be done with it.”
So she packed up everything and moved to California to die. And
she almost did.
Less than a week after moving, Ellie was attacked by a swarm of
Africanised bees.
Swarm saviour
Ellie was in California for three days before her attack. “I wanted to
get some fresh air and feel the sun on my face and hear the birds
sing. I knew that I was going to die in the next three months or four
months. Just laying there in bed all crumpled up… It was kind of
depressing.”
At this point, Ellie was struggling to stand on her own. She had a
caregiver on hand to help her shuffle along the rural roads by her
place in Wildomar, the place where she had chosen to die.
She was just standing near a broken wall and a tree when the first
bee appeared, she remembers, “just hitting me in the head”. “All of a
sudden – boom! – bees everywhere.”
Her caregiver ran. But Ellie couldn’t run – she couldn’t even walk.
“They were in my hair, in my head, all I heard was this crazy
buzzing in my ears. I thought: wow, this is it. I’m just going to die
right here.”
Ellie, like 1–7% of the world’s population, is severely allergic to bees.
When she was two, a sting put her into anaphylaxis, a severe
reaction of the body’s immune system that can include swelling,
nausea and narrowing of the airways. She nearly died. She stopped
breathing and had to be revived by defibrillation. Her mother drilled
a fear of bees into her to ensure she never ended up in the same
dire situation again.
Strong sting
Bees – and some other species in the order Hymenoptera, such as ants
and wasps – are armed with a potent sting. This is their venom, and
it’s a mixture of many compounds. Perhaps the most important is a
tiny 26-amino-acid peptide called melittins, which is responsible for
the feeling of burning.
When we experience high temperatures, our cells release
inflammatory compounds that activate a special kind of channel,
TRPV1, in sensory neurons. This ultimately causes the neurons to send
a signal to the brain that we’re burning. Melittin subversively makes
TRPV1 channels open by activating other enzymes that act just like
those inflammatory compounds.
“I could feel the first five or 10 or 15 but after that... All you hear is
this overwhelming buzzing, and you feel them hitting your head,
hitting your face, hitting your neck,” says Ellie.
“I just went limp. I put my hands up and covered my face because I
didn’t want them stinging me in the eyes… The next thing I know,
the bees are gone.”
When the bees finally dissipated, her caregiver tried to take her to
the hospital, but Ellie refused to go. “This is God’s way of putting me
out of my misery even sooner,” she told him. “I’m just going to
accept this.
“I locked myself in my room and told him to come collect the body
tomorrow.”
But Ellie didn’t die. Not that day, and not three to four months later.
“I just can’t believe that was three years ago, and I just can’t believe
where I am now,” she tells me. “I had all my blood work done.
Everything. We tested everything. I’m so healthy.”
She believes the bees, and their venom, saved her life.
The idea that the same venom toxins that cause harm may also be
used to heal is not new. Bee venom has been used as a treatment in
East Asia for centuries. In Chinese traditional medicine, scorpion venom
is recognised as a powerful medicine, used to treat everything from
eczema to epilepsy. Mithradates VI of Pontus, a formidable enemy of
Rome (and also an infamous toxinologist), was said to have been
saved from a potentially fatal wound on the battlefield by using
steppe viper venom to stop the bleeding.
“Over millions of years, these little chemical engineers have developed
a diversity of molecules that target different parts of our nervous
system,” says Ken Winkel, Director of the Australian Venom Research
Unit at the University of Melbourne. “This idea of applying these
potent nerve toxins to somehow interrupt a nervous disease has been
there for a long time. But we haven’t known enough to safely and
effectively do that.”

There would be a run-off election within 7 days. This time, the other 12 contestants will be excluded; it will strictly be PDP v APC.

Thanks Bro!!

Pls guys, What if Buhari has the highest number of votes but has less than 25% in 2/3rds of the states, and GEJ has 25% in 2/3 of the states but has less votes. Who will be declared the winner??

There are more beautiful girls than her in my department at school. Not to talk of the whole state or country

It's Arsenal's turn to leave the tournament. FT Arsenal 1, Brighton 2

hehe. Liverpool seriously putting pressure on Chelsea. Oya, Make dem score one sharp sharp and level the game oo

Jchi9876:
How much you stake?

Nothing oo.

Liverpool 2 Chelsea 0. Quote me after the match

Nice points. Foreigners inductively categorise all Nigerians as scammers while Nigerians take turns in shifting the blame to our Igbo brothers. Nigeria stands as one, but, it's rather pathetic that some Igbos on nairaland (and even their Yoruba brothers) are tribalistic.

It's a primary school routine to shout "ONE PLUS ONE. TWO....." During maths class. Now, prove that 1+1 actually equals to 2.

Simply visit our nearest service center with your valid ID, 5 frequently dialed numbers, SIM registration details and other relevant information.

I've done that. I retrieved the sim with #900 at the mtn office here in abeokuta, and when I inserted the sim, I met just 13 naira there. I need an explanation on that ridiculous amount I met.

Pls, I want to retrieve my mtn sim. How do I go about it?

quivah:
nice writeup op!..

but I disagree with 3 and 8..for me

emoticons;

I use emoticons always, to describe my mood.. either am feeling you or not..
when I'm angry, I use it
when I'm smiling, I use it
when I'm blushing, I use it
when you are saying rubbish, I use the appropriate smiley etc
so it depends on my mood and not cause I'm digging you.

they say goodbye first;

maybe not me.. I hate to say goodbye or hear it even when there's no more topics to discuss, I won't wanna end the chats.. lets just keep talking please. I can count the number of times I initiated the 'bye ttyl' msg with my bf.. it has always be coming from him, which normally hits me with a little touch of pain..but it has to happen na


number one just describes me, but I'm beginning to read some other meaning to it, and might soon stop


PS; I was like na when this op interview me fa still I saw the disclaimer

lol Maybe I should reduce them to 7. It seems people are not agreeing totally with that no 8.

Instant Message Flirting; How to Tell a Girl Likes You Online and Through Text Messages

With the advances in technology over the years, the mediums for flirting have changed. No longer do you have to meet in person or make a phone call to flirt. Thanks to instant messaging, text messaging and social networking sites, it’s easier than ever to charm a girl.


Instant messaging has introduced new methods
of flirting. However, many guys, such as myself
have trouble picking up on flirting when it’s in
person. It’s even harder to pick up on these
signals online. So to help you out, I have consulted with a number of trusted women to help you find out if a girl is actually interested or if she wants nothing to do with you. I consulted some good friends Ishilove, Mukina2, Farano and others.

THEY INITIATE THE CONVERSATION

This seems fairly obvious but it needs to be said. If you are always the one initiating the conversation, that’s not a good sign. She needs
to IM or text you initially at least some of the
time. However, don’t expect that too often because even if she likes you she may not want
to come off as desperate and will wait for you to start the conversation.

THEY SEEM INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU
HAVE TO SAY

This is another fairly obvious one but if she asks a lot of questions and has good responses to your comments, than you might be in luck. If you are the one always asking questions and trying to keep the conversation going, then you should probably try your luck elsewhere because you aren’t her anytime soon.
Here’s what Ishilove had to say on the matter: “A
good sign would be if a girl is constantly engaged in the conversation (i.e. “brb” is a BAD thing) and writes fairly long, but not too long, or too short messages. Too long and they may just consider you a friend; too short and they are just not interested.”

EMOTICONS

Emoticons are always a good sign. The more, the better. Big smiles and laughs are always good when flirting in person. Online is no different.
Here’s what my friend Mukina2 had to say:
“Without a doubt, the wink or grin is super
important when flirting over aim and
texts. .”
Quivah agrees: “I do send quite a few of
the emoticons as well, usually the winky
one, the blushy one, or the
big smile one.”
and Prexxy1 … “The winking face is a definite
flirting tool, and general teasing of
whoever I’m flirting with.”

EXCLAMATION POINTS

Exclamation points are a great sign. Hey! Is
better than Hey. What’s up!? is better than
what’s up . It shows they are genuinely excited
to talk to you and not just being polite.

ADD-ONS TO A GREETING

Any sort of add on to a greeting is usually a
good sign. For example, instead of saying Hey,
they say Hey there! or Hey babe .
Here’s what Rocktation had to say: I’d also start
off with “hi handsome” and end with “bye
babe”

EXTENDED WORDS

Any sort of extension to a word is good. For
example Heyyyyyy or Byyyyee are always
good signs.
Other words used are ; “greeeeatttt!” or
Hiiiiiiiii! or Byeeeeeee or I knowwwww "

CAPITAL LETTERS

Capital letters that accentuate a point are good
as well. Once again here’s what a friend
noticed when digging through some old
conversations:
“I always seemed to be really excited
about anything that you said. CAPITAL
letters and all WOW nice! to anything that
you said whether I understood it or not.”

THEY SAY GOODBYE FIRST

This was another one I was unaware of before
starting this post. I had multiple responses from
my “focus group” saying they always would try
to sign off first. Apparently they want to make it
look like they are busy.
This is what my Farano had to say: “I also
tried to come off busy and tried to end
the conversation first. I would always say
I was going out with friends or somewhere else
and if he wanted to stop by that, that would be
cool. I would say all sorts of things to
show him that I was busy and would not
be waiting around for his next move.”
This could get confusing since a girl who is not
interested will likely sign off first as well. This is
why you need to pay attention to the other
flirtation signals listed above.

If you get an
extended goodbye or an add-on than you might
be getting lucky really soon.

Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for
a second term, has an even older Twitter account
than President Jonathan’s, but although his account
was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188
followers. .

dwilliams:
No fear my Comrade,we will Ping him out of government,that statement is his downfall.

Exactly Bro

The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of
General Muhammadu Buhari, the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), has
amassed over 45,000 followers in just
four days.

By contrast, President Goodluck
Jonathan’s @JGoodlucktweets, which is
four years old, has just about 40,000
more followers.
Jonathan created his Twitter account
exactly 1,635 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has
84,800 followers. The account appears to have
stopped growing, as it has been in the region of
84,000 since he declared his run for a second term a
few weeks ago.
Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and had by
the afternoon of December 26, Eastern Standard
Time, amassed a following of 45,200.
It is also of interest that in the past four years,
President Jonathan has tweeted only 129 times, about
two tweets per month. His last tweet appeared on
November 11, 2014.
In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55
times in his four days on Twitter, his last one
appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014.
Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo,
also got into Twitter two weeks ago, on
December 10, and his followers are now up to 25,000.
Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for
a second term, has an even older Twitter account
than President Jonathan’s, but although his account
was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188
followers.
When running for office in 2010, President Jonathan
was very active on Facebook and Twitter, which he
used to lure younger voters.
After the election, when the same
supporters, some of whom said they had voted to him
but not the PDP, began to demand accountability and
productivity, they were quietly ignored by President
Jonathan.
As their agitations mounted on social
media, in August 2012 President openly denounced
them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who in an
article called them “army of sponsored and self-
appointed anarchists,” competing among themselves
to pull him down.
Jonathan included in the demographic “all the cynics,
the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting, self-
appointed activists, the idle and idling, twittering,
collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of
Facebook addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips
of Nigeria.”
It is an assault the very vocal group does not seem to
have forgotten.
