Saskatchewan is also said to hav more days of sunshine than any other province making it the sunshine capital of Canada, true?

Yaa true .. the heat is pretty extreme this past weeks but for newcomers, they will probably say it's cold for them. I believe winter this year will be harsh.

As a sequel to the signature contest, here's a more challenging contest for programmers who are true computer scientists:

Write a program that will read a sound recording (mp3 format) containing at least 10 seconds of a Nigerian politician talking, and then print "Yes" to the console if the person speaking in the sound recording is President Buhari, and "No" if the person speaking is not President Buhari.

You can use any common programming language that runs on Windows 7/8/10. Use only open source libraries that I can compile on Windows.

The prize is 50,000 naira and I will award it to the first contestant whose code achieves a high level of accuracy (~90%).

Good luck!

Nice concept .. but there should be a way for the public to download and test .exe code themselves. Maybe setting up a website for this purpose will do some good. Anyways, my schedule's kinda tyte ... would have given it a try !!!

Hi guys, I'm currently studying at the U of S and truly speaking, it was a miracle. The U of S seems to be "one of" the most affordable ( of which I know of tho ) in Canada. One of it's advantage is : you dont have to pay your tuition ahead before you being granted an admission. Even when you eventually get here, the tuition is flexible. I.E, you only pay for the number of courses you wish to enroll for that semester. But BEWARE , Saskatoon is one of the coldest cities in Canada. It gets upto -50 during the winter so plan your coming.
If you need advice on the process, lemme know, I'll be happy to help.
God bless all your endeavors !!!

Sorry, like I said earlier, Just a newbie here. Still trying to settle with the features of the site.
Thank you for your assistance bro. I have not tried wakanow but will do a search on it ASAP. I'd also appreciate it if you could be of help to me.

[quote author=jengbetiele post=33845861][/quote]Hello jengbetiele;
I see you are in the UofS. I just got my visa and I am having trouble booking my flight since I am a newbie. I'd appreciate it if you can direct me on the steps I need to follow. You can also drop you number / email so we can communicate. Your Phone Number is Preferable as I am able to make free calls to Canada and also for interactive guidelines.
Thank you for your time.

try to pm jengbetiele. he is in sask.

OK, will do. Thank you :-)

Hi NLanders,
I just got my Canadian Visa to Saskatchewan and I am having a little challenge booking for my flight. With your invaluable experiences, what flight do you recommend me taking and how do I go about this process ? I am a newbie here and also a first time traveler. So do not mind my amateur questions. Thank you all for your time.

int id_col = rs.getInt("ID";
String first_name = rs.getString("First_Name";
String last_name = rs.getString("Last_Name";
String job = rs.getString("Job_Title";
String id = Integer.toString( id_col );
textID.setText(id);
textFirstName.setText(first_name);
textLastName.setText(last_name);
textJobTitle.setText(job);}
catch(SQLException err){System.out.println(err.getMessage());}

this is a typical logic error ...
i will suggest you remove the semicolon at the line : try{while( rs.next( )); ...
that while loop is a condition that returns a boolean ( true / false ). Even though rs.next() is a call to a method ( next() ) which is usually preceded by a semicolon at every call, it is not true when used as a while loop sentinel. ...the semicolon included in the while condition automatically makes it a statement .

yea, thanks for your post. But i've tried that site and it only shows their UK office . Maybe i'll go through their SA branch

i've tried surfing through the net, but to no avail . Any information will be most helpful .
