It's more complex than that. It depends on the agreements and relationship between the photographer and Kim kardashian. Any other photographer without permission from Kim cannot take a photo of Kim and claim to own the rights.

I had a neighbour who had a very beautiful daughter. The daughter was used for banner adverts that was pasted all over Ikorodu, without the permission of the parents. The mother stormed the school threatening to sue. Omo after consulting the school lawyer, see begging. Eventually, the school agreed to waive the next session's school fees as compensation.

It seems most Nigerians don't know their rights.

Vindman basically admitted he’s the source for the whistle-blower. He says he told someone in the intel community about the call. Schiff interjects and claims he’ll reveal the whistleblower.

Nunes: Did you discuss the July 25 call or July 26 call with anyone outside the White House?

Vindman: George Kent, and someone in the intelligence community I'm not going to name.

Schiff interrupts to "protect the whistleblower."

Recall that Vindman testified under oath last month that he didn't know who the whistleblower is. Vindman lied last month!! This dude committed a crime
With the hundreds of crimes commited by Trump including lying to Muller, it is this one you can latch on. Trump's hold on you guys is uncanny, it's magical or even jujucal. Anyone that says anything against trump or that he does not like is attacked.

For your information, whistleblowers are protected by law. So he is legally not allowed to supply the name of the whistleblower, assuming he even admits he knows the whistleblower.

and your too blind to see I was talking about the both. Both theories are dealing with motion. It is you who is ignorant after studying all your so called physics text books and yet can't identify relativity when you see one.

Let me state it again, Einstein theory of relativity provides that motion is relative to the observer( general relativity) I. e from the perspective of the sun, the earth is moving and from the perspective of the earth the sun is moving. Also it provides that when one is falling it can be said that the person is not falling but the ground is rising to meet with a person when he jumps. from this theory how can one establish which is which?. What are the experiments conducted to prove gravity or relativity? If not mathematics, how does mathematics prove relativity or gravity?

If this is what a person upholding as proof for gravity then that person is only insulting his mentality.

Einstein never conducted any experiment to prove his theories, all were based on convulated mathematical models. He was a fraud who plagiarized the works of other scientist. Poincare was the one who first espoused that e=mc2 not Einstein. So as you can see I can very well educate you in this field. And pls don't shy away from the other questions as I see your doing so.
Face palm. I am ashamed on your behalf. What you stated above is newtonian mechanics, more like the third law of motion, which states action and reaction are always equal and opposite. It nothing to do at all with Einstein's laws of relativity.

I have never heard such rubbish as this in my whole life; " Einstein theory of relativity provides that motion is relative to the observer". The very basis of special relativity is that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed of the observer.

I am tired of discussing stupid jibberish. It's like arguing with a 6 year old child.

there is no single experiment that has proven relativity. why will newtons definition be over taken by Einsteins definition if newtons definition of gravity was true. This is a clear indicator that all this gravity stuff was just made up in their heads. If what newton stated was a fact then their is no way it will be over taken by Einstien's, You lack common sense and uphold theories as fact.

Einsteins theory of relativity provides that motion is relative. I. e from the perspective of the earth the sun is moving but from the perspective of the sun the earth is moving. So you can see that with this theory there is no way to establish which is actually moving.
And let me educate you the theory of relativity was proven wrong by George sagnac and Einstein was exposed as a fraud.
So the theory of relativity you hold unto is nothing but a fraudulent hocus pocus with no proof and an insult to any body with a brain in their heads
More display of ignorance.
Einstein propounded 2 theories of relativity. Law of special relativity was the first which dealt with the speed of light and eventually lead to the famous equation E=MC2

The second theory was the law of General relativity. This dealt with Gravity and its relation to other forces of nature.

Educate me on the laws of relativity when you have absolutely no idea of what they entail. Did you even do physics in your Senior secondary school? because the way you yap nonsense, it seems you have never opened a physics textbook in your life.

I do not doubt this. Wish I could do the experiment myself or probably be in that chamber in a pressure suit or something.
That's the laziness of ignorant but arrogant religionists. They don't perform any experiment, but wait for scientists to spend billions to prove their theories, and then look for the stupidest excuse to disregard the whole experiment.

What's so difficult for flat earthers to build a vacuum chamber, and then throw down a lead ball and a feather together and prove that the lead ball will fall faster than the feather.

He is here making the absurd collusion that because this experiment was shown in slow motion, therefore it is wrong. This is a fall of a few seconds. If the fall was shown in real time, he would still say, he could not see it because it is too fast, and then demand it should be shown in slow motion.

This dropping of objects in a vacuum had been done many of times, and the results had always been the same.

See this experiment of trying to fly a drone in a vacuum. The drone cannot fly in a vacuum because air is needed by the propellers to oppose gravity. Same thing like air is needed by the falling feathers to oppose gravity and therefore fall slowly.

You are so ignorant, and yet don't acknowledge it. I really feel sorry for you guys. You live in a cocoon of ignorance.
Newtons definition of gravity had been overtaken by Einstein definition in his law of general relativity over 100 years ago, and you are not even aware.

Einstein explained exactly what gravity is in his law of general relativity and numerous observations and experiments since then had proved him right.

gravity as a force does not exist. gravity is not a force.
Yes in the strictest sense, gravity is not exactly a force pulling on objects. It's a dent in the space-time continuum. The more massive objects produces bigger dents, making less massive objects move or roll towards the more massive ones.
People are still stuck to newton's idea of gravity being a force between to objects.

Nice video.

My observation:

The gentleman in the video said this at the end of the video: "so he concluded, they weren't"

I guess he meant that the feather & ball didn't really fall.
I think that kind of contradicts the whole idea of "object falling in dent" theory of gravity. He's probably assuming that the falling objects are floating in the fabric of space/vacuum.
All the video showed is that gravity is independent of mass, assuming all other factors constant. All objects on earth fall at the rate of 9.81m/s irrespective of size or mass.

It's the air resistance that oppose gravity that made the feathers fall shower outside a vacuum.

This is where the lies of gravity is exposed which you're too blind to see....

Did you realize that if the same thing happened in the so called SPACE, the plane won't fall to earth's surface rather it will be floating aimlessly around the earth like in a orbit.



Isn't the same force of gravity that allows moon to stay in its orbit?

Why didn't the moon fall to the ground?



You claim both plane and moon are in free fall yet one fall to the ground and the other one is in orbit, then I asked, does gravity work in a mysterious ways?

Why can't gravity put the same plane in orbit rather than falling to the ground?





Why was moon free fall has to be in orbit and my own free fall has to land me on the ground?

Immediately I jumped off the cliff, why can't this mysterious gravity put me in orbit rather than pulling me to the ground?
It has to do with the velocity of the object falling due to gravity. If the object is projected beyond the Earth's escape velocity in a direction opposite that of gravity, then it will escape the Earth's direct pull and gravity will make it orbit instead at a distance in proportion to the velocity.

If the plane travels faster than 11km/s, it will escape the earth. If the engine is then switched off, it will continue to orbit the earth perpetually.

Check the diagram below for better explanation. If Vo is more than 11.2km/s the projectile will enter into orbit instead of falling to the ground.
It is still earth's gravity that will keep it in earth's orbit.

And I asked a question which you stylishly boycotted the other time,

Why would gigantic gravity allow ordinary butterfly to fly when gravity is so strong at earth's surface and ordinary Car radiator fan will suck in any flies around it?
The butterfly wings offers air resistance against gravity. The force of the air from the radiator fan sucking the flies, is greater than gravity of the earth. Remember, the flies have wings and low mass, that helps counteracts the effect of gravity. If you substitute the flies with the same volume of lead, the fan will not be able to suck it.

If gravity pulls everything to earth's surface and because I'm standing on the ground, the ground is exerting equal force, what of an airplane that lost the engine power in midair?
The plane that has lost its engine has nothing to exert an equal and opposite force, so it's in a free fall (weightless) until it hits the ground.

Why must the plane fall to the ground?

Isn't this plane supposed to be floating as a result of weightlessness due to the same gravity?
The plane falls to the ground because force of gravity is pulling the plane downwards with an acceleration of 9.81m/s/s.
Floating is not the same thing as weightlessness. The plane is free falling, but objects in the plane falling at the same rate with the plane will seem to float in reference to the plane.


The fall was it not floating around the earth like moon does or falling to earth surface? Which one....
The moon too is free falling on the earth, that's why it is orbiting the earth. The same thing as satellites above the Earth's surface.

Someone is floating around in a chamber, isn't gravity supposed to pull her to earth's surface?
As I said, the person falling in a falling plane's chamber is falling with the plane according to gravity from the reference plane of an observer outside the plane, but from the reference frame of the plane, the person is stationary (or floating )


The moment I jump off a cliff, were my legs on ground? Yet gravity pulled me to earth's surface.
You legs leave the ground the moment you jump of a cliff and free fall to the earth.

Had it been you use your common sense you would have known that.



Did you aware that no gravity in space has later been change to Microgravity?

Another aspect is, they say "the farther you are from earth the less gravitational force you experience"....which means earth gravity is very strong close to surface, yet the same weak or absolute zero gravity holds the MOON in earth orbit. How can you reconcile thathuh

If gravity is so strong to hold everything on earth surface, why would ordinary butterfly be able to to fly in the presence of gravity when ordinary Car radiator fan will suck in any flies around it?



The same elementary books you're brainwashed with.



At what point you won't feel your weight?

Isn't gravity occurred all over the earth even extended to moon?

Why should I jump up and fall on ground or an airplane at some attitude loosing engine power will straightly fall to the ground, yet all of a sudden, I won't feel my weight at a certain point? Is gravity works in mysterious wayshuh
You are so ignorant and confused that I don't know where to start educating you. It's amazing that in this era of information age, some people choose to remain ignorant.

Gravity is a force that manifest in acceleration, which means per second increase in velocity. The earth pulls all objects to it with an acceleration of 9.81 per second per second. It means you speed will increase by 9.81m per second, every second. Now, when you are standing on the ground, you stand still because the ground exerts an equal and opposite force.

In space there is no ground to exert an equal and opposite force so you fall perpetually (free fall).

Study this video, maybe you will begin to have an idea of what gravity is, instead of talking jibberish.

The earth is flat and stationary, with the sun and moon moving right over the flat earth. Most of your question I have addressed in my threads but let me give a very simple experiment to do to determine which is moving between the earth and the sun.

the shadow of an instrument like the sun dial will not bend if the earth is spinning and the sun is stationary. Now get a model of the globe earth and fix a stick on tip of it, then shine a light unto that globe and spin the globe. You will notice the shadow of the sick will not bend but move the light around that stick and you will notice the shadow moving. This is an undeniable proof the sun moves around over the earth.

Megallan went around the flat world not a globe he even used a flat map and not a globe earth map.

Who told you no gravity in space? Space itself is the creator of gravity. Gravity permeates space and time.

Should there have been anything like WEIGHTLESSNESS at all, if gravity cut across the solar systemhuh
Please grab an elementary physic or even geography text book, so you can understand some basic terms. Weightlessness simply means you cannot feel your weight. You become weightless if you fall down from a plane or even a lift. A better term is free fall.

LegendHero:
Most of you guys on here don’t get the true picture of the happenings and you’re just attributing too much power to the Fulanis or let me say Northerners in general.

The British invaded the North during those 1890s and they conquer each region one after the other. Infact the fulanis have a prophecy then that after a certain number of sultanate, the Fulani empire will collapse, that date corresponds to sometimes in 1912 or so. All these are documented in the New York Times Archives.

I have all the news when the British invade every part of Nigeria. I know how they conquered Nupes, Benins, Oyo empire, Ilorin sultanate, etc. Those are well documented in prints on a day by day basis.

The Northerners are not handed power by the whites, Nigeria constitution itself handed power to the North. North believe in homogeneity such that it’s hard to divide them among NE/NW/NC during Nigeria formative days. But the south are made up of Western and Eastern region both with the same ambition.

North controls everything in Nigeria because of their enormous population most times fake. Zik was also a part of the wrong coz Awolowo raised the alarm in 1963 census that the North rigged the numbers by giving 31million to the North but Zik was too blinded by his loyalty to the North that he looked the other way.

Check Nigeria election even within states, the majority LG always decide who rules a state. In Oyo state for example, if Ibadan people support any aspiring governor in their majority then that person is already governor.

North is ruling Nigeria not because they are wise or because they are handed by the British, it’s because of their population and because we practice this kind of democracy. The northerners also know this fact which explains why they keep giving birth to children even if they don’t have a means to cater for them. It is their best bet to survival in this entity called Nigeria.

Hear this, even if the Yorubas and Igbos form an alliance, they will still need the north. Both Awolowo and Azikwe are not stupid, they also know what we are saying now, but they are helpless. Although Awolowo is still more radical coz he fought the north till his death and he lived most of his life in opposition. Zik ambition to rule made him subservient to the north and that also affected Nigeria a lot.

The best bet is to change Nigeria way of democracy or breakup the country to break the hold of the North on Nigeria. If status quo remains, the North will forever decide who rules Nigeria and the Igbos and Yorubas will NEVER ally together in politics.
I strongly disagree that the north can defeat an alliance between the east and west. Harmony between the east and west will also bring in the south south and the Middle belt. One major problem with the east is that they have voter apathy. Their voting numbers are always very poor. In the north east and North West, the voter participation is very high, many northerners travel from from places they live just to vote. You will see kilometres long queues during elections.
If the west and East form a harmonious political alliance, the Niger delta and middle belt,especially Benue, kwara and kogi will follow them. It will make things very difficult for North west and North East.

To an extent your emotion towards Zik is not entirely out of place. Even we Igbos do not understand the rationale behind some of his political decisions. But it is now more than fifty years since the whole brouhaha, civil war inclusive. Why have the Yorubas not wrestle political machinery from the northerners especially with the Igbos out of the picture.

What are your plans to extricate your self out of political slavery and domination from people you are obviously better than. When will you say no to your future being decided at the whims of the caliphate. Zik is late God rest his soul. What is the plan of the south West? Is the situation beyond redemption?
The igbos were never and can never be out of the picture. The Hausa Fulanis need either the igbos or the Yorubas to hold unto power in Nigeria. Prior to 2015, the igbos had always aligned with the Hausa Fulanis to sideline the Yorubas. 2015 was the very first time Yorubas allied with the Hausa Fulanis in the history of Nigeria, and the igbos have since been angry about it.

The only way to break the stranglehold of the Hausa fulanis on Nigerian political power is for the igbos and yorubas to form an alliance. That's seems a very long shot. Non of them will step down for each other, each would rather step down for the Hausa fulani instead.

The Trump Hillary eelction was not rigged.
Yes the elections were not rigged significantly, but there were instances of voter suppression and gerrymandering by the Republicans and some irregular voting by the Democrats.

Yes, the Russians, in collusion with someone from Trump's office most likely leaked the Democrat emails exposing the party's perfidy....but the problem is, it is very difficult to quantify how much effect they had on the election, if any.
Not exactly, Trump went on national TV and asked Russia to find (hack) Hillary's emails. If ordinary citizens do that, they would be questioned by the FBI

The leaks did have profound effect on Hillary's votes. Many Democrats simply refused to turn up on election day, because of the email scandal. Remember Comey brought up the issue again a week to actual voting.
Especially as there were other factors.

1.Hilary did not campaign well enough in battleground states.
Agreed, she could have ran a more effective campaign

2.Job losses are a big issue in many battleground states. Trump at least, even though he was lying, talked about bringing back jobs. Hilary meanwhile was telling coal miners in Iowa that they should be ready to lose their jobs, to change. (And Iowa was a battle ground area...).
Yes job losses are a big issue in the rural and industrial areas. The problem is not necessarily immigrants taking their jobs, it's the US educational system that is lacking behind in modern skills and technology. Most US technology and innovation is being driven by skilled foreign immigrants. Silicon Valley is being driven by immigrants. The US needs to overhaul their educational system to catch up with China and other Asian countries.
Coal jobs were are job of the 19th and 20th centuries. It has no place in the 21st century. Even oil (fossil fuels) jobs will be obsolete by the 22nd century.

3.Plus, Hilary did win more votes than Trump. The problem was, in the convolouted system that America runs, it's electoral college votes that matter, not simple majorites
Agreed

4.Hilary is the husband of Bill. The Bill who, you know, signed something called NAFTA back in the 90's...that accelerated job losses in many battleground states. Many people have not forgiven or forgotten.
As I said, the US need to retrain it's citizens for jobs of the 21st century.

5.A lot of people who turned out for Obama did not turn out for Hilary at all.
As I sad many Democrats simply refused to turn up on election day.

The damage Trump has inflicted on America's image will take decades to repair.

One of the biggest criminal to ever become a United States president.
Decades is an understatement, centuries is more apt.
Trump has completely destroyed US foreign image and influence. Russia and China is becoming more influential in world affairs every day. No one trusts the US anymore.
Trump's foreign policy is as nebulous as it is crazy. It is being run by Trump, his daughter and his son in law. The state department is being hollowed out of well seasoned career diplomats and replaced by novice political appointees.

Are you a woman?
absolute rubbish. Kenyan population growth declined from 2.9% to 2.2% over a 10 year period and this lady is screaming crisis. Kenyan population is put at close to 48 million and she is raising unnecessary alarm. Maybe they should import some Hausa Fulanis from Nigeria so their population should increase to 100million over 5 years.

The reason for this slight decrease is not far fetch. Most women are moving to the cities, getting an education and pursuing a career. They are no longer in the villages making babies like rats. Educated women hardly have more than 3 children. If the women were actually being sterilized though mass vaccination as pushed by the conspiracy theory, then the birth rate would reduce drastically to close to 1%.
Another mystery is that since the vaccinations were being given to both sex of babies and children without discrimination, how come it is affecting the fertility of the women? What happens to male babies taking the same vaccination?
