Hi Friends, Ever Heard of the word "Infrasonic" or "Infrasonic Weapon". Well such were claimed to be the cause of the collapse by a Witness in the Synagogue Building Collapse case. Since, I am hearing the word for the first time, I decided to find out more. I quickly made use of one  the most powerful instrument of information research known to the modern world, the Google search engine, and here are my findings;

Each year, Science’s editors choose a singular scientific achievement as Breakthrough of the Year. Past winners have included the discovery of the Higgs boson, cancer immunotherapy, and the first quantum machine. This year’s winner captured the world’s attention and reminded us of the immense scope of human scientific accomplishment—as well as how far we have yet to go. Below we briefly summarize the winner and runners-up and link to the expanded stories, with references, in the Science Magazine, which are freely available.

The dream of every woman is to find a man to spend her entire life with.  Even the Holy religious books have enjoined men and women, to seek each other out and cohabit as man and wife.

The dream of every woman is to find a man to spend her entire life with.  Even the Holy religious books have enjoined men and women, to seek each other out and cohabit as man and wife. But as beautiful and simple as this may sound, marriage has long gone from being a simple item on a menu, it has become a task, as finding a true life partner has become as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Barely two weeks to the close of 2014 , Ericsson ConsumerLab in its annual trend report has released ten   consumer trends, identifying the most important trends for 2015 and beyond.  The new iPhone 5C is displayed during an Apple product announcement at the Apple campus on September 10, 2013 in Cupertino, California.  While mobile   money

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!) A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has sh oulders soggy from your tears. A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

Apparently, after three decades of leading the smartphone ecosystem, the introduction of Lumia 830 flagship may be the last smartphone to wear the iconic Nokia logo. One thing is certain. Once  the branding switch to Microsoft Lumia is completed, it will bring to an end  nearly three decades of Nokia phones, a long run that stretches back into the 1980s. - See more at:  Nokia ends three decades of smartphone ecosystem

For most people, food clothes and shelter are most priorities of life. You worry about these things because their absence dehumanizes a being and denigrates standard living. But for those, particularly, living in Lagos metropolis, these, are ironically, not far fetched. No matter how poor, in Lagos, one must feed. There is food for all categories of people. Problem, is when one steps off his category to where his or her earnings can not accommodate. There is also abundant clothes to cover everybody’s nakedness. No matter the income strata, Oshodi, orile and Yaba markets, can give you what to wear. - See more at: Your phone can now help you avoid traffic

What exactly is your wife telling her friends about your sex-life!? ,  Women have been known to be the worst kind of blabbermouths – they tell each other everything and anything. “But to the point of discussing intimate bedroom secrets of their partners?” 

The armed robber takes your money from you with a gun in his hand: the pastor takes your money by brandishing a bible. Jesus berated the mercenary religious leaders of biblical days. He told them: “‘It is written, my house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” (Matthew 21:13). This word remains pertinent to pastors in the churches of today.

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on  opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next

Hello Friends, I just got this from a friends, and I feel it will be beneficial to you too. Plz read and assimilate the information, and share with loved ones!!! This is very interesting for every Car AC User, and a MUST READ , as it concerns HEALTH !... Our Car Manual instructs us to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C.

David Dubrovsky, co-chairman of the Scientific council of the Russian Academy of Sciences for artificial intelligence modeling. Cybernetic immortality – fantasy or scientific problem? I can answer that right away. It is a scientific problem – of approximately the same type as the problem of people going into outer space, which was proposed by Tsiolkovsky at the turn of the 20th century.

Russian billionaire Dmitry Itskov speaks to the Global Future 2045 Congress, June 15, 2013 at Lincoln Center in New York.   AP PHOTO/MARY ALTAFFER   A Russian multimillionaire said he would like to see the technology to allow humans to outlive their bodies made into a reality - to the point where "people" with artificial computer-driven brains and hologram bodies would exist in a mere 32 years.

This Article is in response to the post  "You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!" A Compelling Read -"  Please read it first. I read the “transcript” of your conversation with my compatriot with much intrigue. Your view of the “third world” is not only dated in nomenclature, it is also dated in reality. When was the last time you were in Zambia? The Zambia of the 1980s is not the Zambia of 2012! Zambians are far from sleepy and lethargic (though I do not see sleep or dreaming as a bad thing). Perhaps it is because I subscribe to Rabindranath Tagore’s words, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy, I woke and saw that life was duty. I acted and behold, duty was joy.”

From "Mind of Malaka".  A bracing must read for everyone who cares about Africa:   “ That’s what we call your country. You guys are as stagnant as the water in the lake. We come in with our large boats and fish your minerals and your wildlife and leave morsels—crumbs. That’s your staple food, crumbs. That corn-meal you eat, that’s crumbs, the small Tilapia fish you call Kapenta is crumbs. We the Bwanas (whites) take the cat fish. I am the Bwana and you are the Muntu. I get what I want and you get what you deserve, crumbs. That’s what lazy people get—Zambians, Africans, the entire Third World.”

 “I slept and dreamt that life was joy, I woke and saw that life was duty. I acted and behold, duty was joy.”

Wow! This is a MUST read story guys! Came across this piece online and not sure who wrote it, but it’s a great story with a solid lesson to teach and a reminder to every woman. Please continue reading and don’t forget to share…..someone out there might need this!

THE BEAUTY OF MATH PATTERNS Some people say mathematics  is the science of patterns  which I think is a pretty accurate description. Not only do patterns take on many forms, but they occur in every part of mathematics. But then again patterns occur in other disciplines as well. They can be sequential, spatial, temporal, and even linguistic.

Do you know that?.... According to Wikipedia, Mathematical beauty describes the notion that some mathematicians may derive aesthetic pleasure from their work, and from mathematics in general. They express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful. Mathematicians describe mathematics as an art form or, at a minimum, as a creative activity. Comparisons are often made with music and poetry. Do you also know that?....

The Problem with Getting Started is Getting Started

1. My character is more important than my talent 2. Failure is nature’s plan to prepare me for great responsibility 3. Failing is not the worst thing in the world, quitting is 4. It is better to more reliable than brilliant 5. Only a life lived for others is worth living 6. The best thing I can do for my fellow human beings is to love them 7. Opportunity does not stay too long, so I should make the best use of each day 8. The value I place on others is largely a function of the value I place on myself 9. Being successful is not necessarily being first or the best at something, when I give all I’ve got and I’m satisfied with what I got at the end, then I am successful 10. If I must succeed, I should give extra effort and push myself beyond my normal limit 11. A very cheap way to make friends is to be interested in what concerns them 12. If I risk nothing and do nothing; I will eventually have nothing and become nothing 13. Until I respect my own time, I can never respect ot...
