US Govt claims exclusive ownership of Ebola and registers Patent. https://www.nairaland.com/1844641/u.s-government-claims-exclusive-ownership#25259211 |
I just came across a story of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control owning a patent on a particular strain of Ebola known as "EboBun." It's patent No. CA2741523A1 and it was awarded in 2010. Here are extracts from the story. Harvesting Ebola from victims to file patents U.S. Government claims exclusive ownership over its "invention" of Ebola No medical reason to bring Ebola to the United StatesFull details here: http://www.naturalnews.com/046290_Ebola_patent_vaccines_profit_motive.html Patent: http://www.google.com/patents/US20120251502 ******************************************* Edit Guys, what do you think of this.

Capnd143: thanks, bt i am using VS 6 FOR learning only, tried it out becos its a good begginers tools, and i am not knowledgable on the best tools, would be glad if u helped me outVB 6 is good as a 1st language, but you should consider learning the latest version which is VB.NET. Most VB6 programmers found it challenging to port to .NET, so it would be wise to just learn .NET at once. |
I'm not into mobile programming (yet), but I would advice that you avoid tools that are too old (like Visual Studio 6). |
Software that has value (solves problem that non other solves or solves it better) would sell. But since the major investment for software is mostly intellect/time (not necessarily cash in most cases) almost anyone can afford to make software. The result is that there are so many software out there doing the same thing or at least claiming to do the same thing. With so much competition, the prices come down. Some get so desperate and after so much frustration to sale (as there are so many options for the buyers), they begin to give off their software for free, just to prove that they are good at what they do hoping to build loyalty hoping to reap from the good will in the future. Everyday there is someone out there who reduces his price or even gives off for free with such hope. So that those who have built the good will and proven themselves would still be competing to sell against free software. You know what, free often has an edge. With this scenario especially in Nigeria where people mostly use pirated software they got for N150 or N200 people tend to think that is the real value of software. But they know that anyone selling a new Samsung S5 for N30,000 must be a thief. So in the end, it would need your software to have a serious edge over others by being significantly better and good customer support for you to have a break. The truth is, if you are good at what you do, it's only a matter of time, you will make it. Others are making it. For instance my coy has a software product that is competing against so many others in the field. But more than half of our existing clients are those who abandoned another product for ours and they are paying even higher than the one they abandoned. Software pays if you are good and you are solving a problem that bothers many. The more the number affected by the problem and the more the challenge the problem poses, the better the chance of selling a good solution for the problem.

Would you mind a text? |
Too bad |
nedu2000: ur dad really tried,but to be sincere lemme wash a lil' dirty linen in public,the parents are to the largest degree response!!the dad is hated by the rest of household for being a womaniser,the wife is so lazy that when he was schooling in onitsha she all gave reasons why she doesn't 'ave time to attend her own son's open day,by the time he was thrown out this housewife never set foot into her child's school twas always the dad!!,when she came to collect the child after the latest setback,my mum really blasted her for her nonchalant attitude in terms of the boy's education. So to a larger degree,its the parents. But after an extended family meeting both parents 'ave decided to turn a new leaf in terms of focusing on d boys academics & future but I hope its not too late,he's 16It may be more difficult now, but I won't say it's too late. One just needs to be careful with the approach as I mentioned earlier. Both parents decision to turn a new leaf is the 1st step. Next is to talk to the child. Likely the child is displeased with his academic performance but must have given up. He needs to be encouraged and made to understand that it's not too late. All parties should read the book "Gifted Hands" and review together. If the boy finds it difficult to read it, he can be made to watch the video version (not sure he has as much details as the book as I couldn't be patient to watch it having already read the book). Prayers can also be of help. With God all things are possible. |
If the governor wants the current panel to continue, it must be he is sure of a favourable outcome. I had been wondering if the constitution gave power to the CJ to disband the panel as requested by the law makers. Their only option would be to go to court to prove the how the panel constituted by the CJ did not meet the expectations of section 188(5) of the constitution. Impeachment prolonged.

nedu2000: I know most parents talk about how their kids finish 1st in class then who's the child that finishes last!!I was once such a student who was not doing well in my most early education years. In my Transition class I remember being locked up in class along with another student for not being able to come up with any English word that starts with the letter 'Y'. The other buy later repeated several classes and was known as the dumbest kid in school. But to the shock of me and many others I got to be 12th in class in Primary 1 in the first term and 1st by 2nd and 3rd term. Primary 1 was the immediate class that followed Transition. Since then I'd been either 1st or 2nd. In JS1 I was 2nd in all 3 terms, but I began to be an average student and out of the 1st 10 positions from my JS2 when I got introduced by my parent to be friends with a non-serious cousin of mine. This was to help me stay in school (as I was mostly a loner and so bored of school). I picked up again when I changed school in my SS1 where I ended my SS3 as 2nd overall. I never understood the sudden change in my academic performance in Primary 1 until I read the book "Gifted hands" by Dr Ben Carson. The author was the dumbest kid in class who became the best and later an acclaimed world best neurosurgeon. It was when I read how the mother of the Dr had prevented her two kids from playing, instead forced them to be going to read books in the library and provide reviews each day, then I recalled that my late father had done similar thing to us (with more focus on me, being that my only brother was doing well). I could remember how my father (a former maths teacher, then a banker) would have us locked in the house and given some homework to do on our own. I remember more of how he taught me how to study maths on my own using maths text book. He would make me learn to solve new maths problems on topics for the next term on my own and I must complete all the exercises that accompany the topics. He would show me how to solve the ones I couldn't solve when he comes back from work. It wasn't interesting at all as our friends would come to mock us through our house window. Each day we would study from about 8am that my parent leave for work till 12pm when my Aunt would come and unlock the door for us to join other kids to play. Mum (a teacher) would be back around 2pm and you have to go to bed around 3pm. My dad seriously frowned at playing football and till date I and my only brother don't play nor have interest in watching football. In summary I would say such corrections are best at the early formative years of a child. That is when it is easiest to help a child develop the habits and attitude you want to see in them. It is best time to influence a child and get them to grow with that influence. This becomes increasingly difficult as the child grows older. With my experience I'm sure that a child can be influenced to improve in almost any area (academic or otherwise). But I'm not sure how effective such measures may be for a child who has gotten to his/her teens. The best way to know is to try but at this age you must be very careful of being overbearing on the child which can result in depression, attempt to run away from home and in worst case suicide attempt. A teenage is more intolerable of parents interference in their lives, so any efforts must be done with much caution and more especially with the consent of the child. I would seriously recommend the book "Gifted Hands" for the parent and the child. The child would see from there that his/her case is not hopeless and would likely be more willing and cooperative with the parent on the measures to be taken. He or she would understand very well that the parents are doing it for his/her own interest and would reduce the change of the child viewing it as punishment. That's my submission. Wish you the best in this.

Not again. |
My regular MTN SIM was cut to as far back as 2008 or 2009, but the outer enclosure of the SIM contacts was not broken and was stored safely. I'm still using the same SIM today on a regular SIM slot. I simply placed the cut out SIM contact part into it's outer enclosure and fit it into the phone and I've been using it like that.

EasternLeopard: Misplaced priorityDo you know if these universities were built? |
Sorry guys, nairaland spambot had banned me on this thread for a few days for no reason and also hid my response. Ban was lifted yesterday. Thanks for all the information provided. I don't know what triggers it, so I would avoid asking re-posting what I had posted or adding further questions. Thanks guys. |
This is now 2014, any update on this? Has the 3 Universities been setup? |
