efficiencie:Whoever you are and where ever you are God bless you. |
Apitch: |
I've never watched a movie so horrible like 'saw' |
Kudos to you |
can't we have a watsapp group?
Please !!! |
But nobody is even asking why Sahara reporters are not painting the country in good colours every time, they always have bad news of Nigeria. |
Pavore9:I've sent it Sir, two messages |
I've also sent you a mail before.
thought I'll resend it now. |
Please Pavore I need your help seriously in this. |
Am a Corper here, I just want to ask how much they lease land here and how interesting there ADP is, am also interested in getting Watermelon seed and cucumber, am in Anaocha LGA. I'll be glad also if a watsapp group is formed for us all to interact. Thanks for this thread. |
Baadal:your price and where you are. thanks. |
The tension between the two countries is getting more deadly day by day. |
I just load the page now, it's working. |
but this one contradict what was said by his media publicity that he was not attacked. |
Nice write up |
I also need a copy sir.
Thanks in advance |
The price |
Swiss Professor Jean-Pierre Wolf is pioneering
the use of lasers to affect the weather
He suggests lasers could also be used to limit
the impact of climate change Is there anything laser can't do? From cutting diamonds to preserving endangered sites , all the way to building terrifying weapons and turning your eyes from brown to blue , there is apparently no end to the list of applications for laser. Swiss physicist Jean-Pierre Wolf is working on yet another impressive addition to that list: using focused laser beams to affect the weather. It sounds like black magic, but it's actually a cleaner version of cloud seeding, a form of weather modification that has been used for several years -- most famously by China in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, when they launched rockets to seed the clouds and prevent rainfall during the opening ceremony. But it's hard to tell how effective cloud seeding actually is, and it involves the spraying of chemicals into the atmosphere, something which it surely doesn't need. Laser is therefore a completely clean alternative to traditional cloud seeding: it's light, and nothing but light. A terawatt of power How does laser actually affect the weather? Just like cloud seeding, it can create new clouds where there are none, by inducing condensation: naturally occurring water vapor is condensed into droplets, and ice crystals form, mimicking the natural process that creates clouds. That way, rainfall can be triggered to "empty" the atmosphere and increase the potential of dry weather later on: "We did it on a laboratory scale, we can already create clouds, but not on a macroscopic scale, so you don't see a big cloud coming out because the laser is not powerful enough and because of a lot of technical parameters that we can't yet control," Professor Wolf told CNN's Nick Glass. The laser during a test in Rome, in 2013. That is not to say that the laser he's tested isn't powerful: at one terawatt, it has the same energy produced by all the nuclear power plants on Earth: "Of course, it doesn't last very long," Wolf said. The technology is still in its infancy then, but once it's perfected, it could help us modulate the weather in areas of high contrast, such as California or Chile, where flooding and droughts occur in extreme vicinity. Through lasers, those effects could be smoothed to have less rain in flooding-prone areas and more rain in drought-prone areas: "You can transport the water to a different location," Wolf said. Taming lightning Laser seeding can make more than clouds: it can also trigger lightning. "We also showed that it's possible to trigger lightning in clouds, within clouds, but not to the ground, yet." Recent tests have shown promise: " A few years ago, in New Mexico, we moved our big mobile terawatt laser to the top of a mountain and we shot it up into the atmosphere, trying to trigger lightning. We didn't, but we could see some small discharge, lightning, within the cloud. You know, 90 per cent of the lightning discharge are intra- cloud, not against the Earth. So, we are still working on that, but there is hope." Controlling lightning, or facilitating its discharge in a desired location, would help reduce the costs associated with lightning damage -- they run into the billions of dollars each year, adding to thousands of people injured or killed by lightning strikes. Dreaming big Affecting the weather could also turn out to be one of our best bets at limiting the impact of climate change. Every time you think you have done everything you can with lasers, something new comes up Jean-Pierre Wolf Professor Wolf reckons lasers could be used to "repair" the weather, reducing the occurrence of hurricanes, thunderstorms, flooding, and drought. But his laser technology can look way beyond the clouds: "There are potential applications in the biomedical field: by changing the color of the laser, we could identify and selectively kill cancer cells, with little or no collateral damage." Yet another potential application to add to that list: "Every time you think you have done everything you can with lasers, something new comes up: it's quite amazing."

There is something in this world we called `being. Smart' the father should have carried the boy in his shoulder and use the umbrella to cover the two of them, I've seen it before, I think I've done it also, and am sure I've seen mother's do that. Kudos to the father |
me too o
I think coup is no more in the dico, this one resuscitate it. |
I love pray for me by darey |
lezz:. you're really one in a kind, if Nigeria has a lot of you at the height of power, this country will progress, but you should also know something, this biafra and zoo issue, I smell foul play sometimes, my mind use to tell me that there are some people hiding under there keyboard to perpetrate this things, God knows them, I don't. they are not really who you think they are. God bless Nigeria |
I don't really know what to say, am short of word. |
1. Phantom of the Opera. 2. We were soldiers 3. October 1st (Nigeria) 4. Evita (South America) 5. Fanaa (Indian Movie) 6. Saving Gen Yang (Chinese ) |
the issue of adding colouring to red oil has been in existence for awhile, only God can save us in Nigeria, even if NAFDAC want to stop it, I still can't think of how they will stop it, mind you red oil is not made by a company o, everyone came with her own to the market, like i said, only God can save us. |
I welcome this idea, I've been looking for a layman interpretation of this TSA issue, I think it will go a long way in curbing embezzlement. |
OK.
I don hear |
sulmeza:Am a Christian, you're right, children can't be judged so far they are innocent. |
Wow !!! |
