STILL THE BEST NIGERIAN FORUM...

2008-03-27T16:44:00.002Z

Some folks asking me why have I abandoned my blog for some forum;
one point before I miss it: my blog is anything but abandoned. I guess
that settles the insinuation!

It's only in a debased me-first society people do things to please them-
selves...I want to be a part of larger platform with a larger and fresher
reach; with trememdous intent at making profound impact...and I discovered
that in a forum. A forum that associates itself with the best...

A forum that carries the Nigerian colours [green and white] proudly as its
background banner...a forum that flows with green and the purity of white:
it's got to be the best forum- the best Nigerian forum.

Like before, I welcome dearest friends and well-wishers to be part of this
whole new experience of making www.nigerianbestforum.com great!

You get the Monday Jobs, Tuesday Guardian Job Vacancies, Thursday Guardian Job Vacancies,
The Saturday Jobs, Hot Jobs In Naija- Wednesday; even Thank God It's Friday Naija
Hot Jobs...and Sunday? Did you say thou shall not seek jobs on Sundays?

I did go for interview one Sunday like that! Let's look at that too...

2008-03-01T14:01:00.006Z

Dear Friends and Visitors...

I just want you to know about the most resourceful forum-
Nigerian forum with both local and global contents...

A forum that offers you the best in terms of friendship [social
networking et al], fun [entertainment and humour], freedom
[your opinion is not subject unnecessary censure...every voice
is being heard], focus [you can bring your dreams, projects and
careers here], and future [folks in this forum aren't just virtual
chatters; they yearn to share some future communion with fellow
members]...et cetera et cetera.

It is to this world I invite you all... http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/index.php?action=register;inviter=3

It's a whole different idea of what forum has been like in this part
of the clime: It's a forum that fuses hundreds of souls together...
come...let's unite our dreams, our desires, our destinies, our duties,
our desperations, our doubts, our distances, our determinations...

Many forums are run without a human face...because they don't have it.

Nigeria's best forum, http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/index.php?action=register;inviter=3 has a human face...
It cares; it dignifies; it appreciates...welcome to a new, different forum!

Join now and invite others!

Nigeria's best forum invites you all! http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/index.php?action=register;inviter=3

Nothing compares to it. [I am not paid to do this...I believe in it! ask others.]

See you there...after this time out!

Yours truthfully,
Beibee.

JOBS ARE HERE...

2008-03-01T13:48:00.002Z

Dear friends...

It's been a while. Yeah that's right. I am awfully sorry about that.

I sure hope I'll be pardoned for the silence...some things about this

blog went beyond my control; and I am saying this with regret.

None the less, since majority of the visitors to this blog have overwhelmingly

voted that job vacancies should be the primary focus of this blog...it appears

I will fail them in that resolution - but no!

For the very latest in job vacancies from Tuesday and Thursday Guardian

newspapers you can go to: www.nigerianbestforum.com

I really want to thank you all for being part of this blog...it's not over till

it's over. I've not said goodbye...and by no means do I mean goodbye

to this blog.

Till we meet again...keep the hope alive; while there's life, there's hope!

Selflessly,

Beibee.

IS TUBERCULOSIS EASY TO CATCH?

2008-02-20T15:51:00.001Z

A KILLER ON THE PROWL...
"There is nowhere to hide from tuberculosis bacteria," warns Dr. Arata Kochi, director of the WHO Global TB Programme. "Anyone can catch TB simply by inhaling a TB germ that has been coughed or sneezed into the air. These germs can remain suspended in the air for hours; even years. We are all at risk."

Before a person becomes ill with TB, however, two things must happen. First, he or she must be infected with TB bacteria. Second, the infection must progress to disease.
Though it is possible to become infected by brief contact with a highly contagious person, TB is much more likely to be spread through repeated contact, such as that which occurs among family members living in crowded conditions.

The bacilli inhaled by a person who becomes infected multiply in the chest. In 9 out of 10 people, however, the immune system halts the spread of the infection, and the infected person does not become sick. Sometimes, however, the dormant bacilli can be activated if the immune system becomes severely weakened by HIV, diabetes, chemotherapy cancer treatments, or other causes.

TB FACT SHEET

Description: TB is a disease that usually attacks and lays waste to the lungs, but it can spread to other areas of the body, particularly the brain, the kidneys, and the bones.

Symptoms: TB of the lungs can cause coughing, loss of weight and appetite, severe sweating at night, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pains.

How diagnosed: A tuberculin skin test can show if a person has been in contact with the bacillus. A chest X ray can reveal damage to the lungs, which may indicate an active TB infection. A laboratory examination of the patient's sputum is the most reliable way to detect TB bacilli.
Who should be tested: Those who either have TB symptoms or have had close, repeated exposure to a TB patient-particularly in poorly ventilated rooms.

Vaccination: There is only one vaccine-known as BCG. It prevents severe TB in children but does little for adolescents and adults. At best, the vaccination gives protection for about 15 years. BCG only protects those who are uninfected; it does not benefit people who are already infected.

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE?

2008-02-20T15:31:00.003Z

IS MONEY THE TICKET TO A HAPPY LIFE?

You may have heard about bandits who waved guns in their victim's face, demanding: "Your money or your life!" Today, this legendary demand is echoed in a challenging dilemma facing all of us—especially those of us living in affluent lands. This time, however, it is no bandit that presses the demand. Rather, it is the increased emphasis that society places on money and material success.

Such emphasis has raised a whole new set of issues and concerns. At what cost should money and material things be pursued? Could we be content with less? Are people actually sacrificing the real life on the altar of materialism? Is money the ticket to a happy life?

Among human desires and passions—legitimate or otherwise—the love of money vies for the lead. Unlike the desire for sex and food, the mania for money can be constant and unending. Old age does not seem to assuage it. In many cases advancing years may actually increase a person's interest in or concern about money and what it can buy.

Greed seems to be escalating. The main character in one popular movie said: "Greed works. Greed is good." Although many referred to the 1980's as the Age of Greed, what came before and after shows that human reaction to money has changed little through the years.

What probably is new is that so many people see opportunities to satisfy instantly the desire for more. It seems that much of the world most of the time spends most of its energy producing and acquiring more and more things. You may agree that having material possessions and spending money have become a passionate—and often most imaginative—endeavor in modern-day life.
But are people happier as a result?

LAGOS AMONGST EXPLODING CITIES

2008-02-20T15:20:00.003Z

"Humanity is on the move as never before, and most of those
who leave home seeking a better life head for a city."

So SAID the publication Foreign Affairs in the introduction to an article entitled "The Exploding Cities of the Developing World." According to that article, many people have been "lured by the bright lights, or driven from the countryside by political and economic turmoil, population pressures, and ecological breakdown."

Just how fast are cities growing? Some estimate that people are flocking to cities at the staggering rate of more than a million a week! In developing lands more than 200 cities now have populations that pass the million mark. Some 20 have reached the ten million mark! And no slowdown is in sight. Take, for example, the city of Lagos, Nigeria. According to a report by Worldwatch Institute, "by 2015, Lagos may be home to nearly 25 million people, rising in rank from the world's thirteenth largest city to the third largest."

Many experts feel that this does not bode well for the future. Federico Mayor, former director general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, warns that by the year 2035, "three thousand million more people will be living in the urban settlements that exist today." To care for this staggering population, "we shall have to build a thousand cities of three million inhabitants in the next forty years, twenty-five a year."

Experts also say that rapidly expanding city populations are having a devastating effect on cities around the world. And that includes cities in the prosperous industrialized world.

DO YOU ENJOY LAGOS TRAFFIC?

2008-02-20T14:28:00.003Z

THE TRIALS
OF LAGOS TRAFFIC

You have a business appointment on the Island [Lagos], so you leave office with what you think is plenty of time to spare. But you did not count on running into a traffic jam. As the minutes tick by and your car slowly crawls along, you begin to get more and more anxious. Finally, you make it to the appointment a half hour late.

One of the greatest frustrations of Lagos life is traffic, especially the bumper-to-bumper traffic that clogs the streets and poisons the air. Unfortunately, this daily tribulation experienced by thousands of Lagos-city dwellers shows no sign of letting up.

The reason why Lagos roads are clogged is not hard to find. Lagos keep on growing relentlessly, and it appears about half the nation’s [Nigeria] population live in Lagos; other two factors that stare you in the face are: bad roads and reckless, inconsiderate drivers. As Lagos grows, so do the numbers of vehicles. In Lagos it's like: “Too many people own too many cars, and they want to drive them in the same constricted space.”

SHAN'T WE LAUGH?...JOKING APART!

2008-02-20T10:25:00.002Z

Baby fat?
When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!" I replied, "Yes honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, "but what is growing in your butt?"

Subjects for a date
A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his father for advice. The father replies: “My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy.” The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy’s nervousness builds. He remembers his father’s advice, and chooses the first topic. He asks the girl: “Do you like spinach?” She says “No,” and the silence returns. After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his father’s suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, “Do you have a brother?” Again, the girl says “No” and there is silence once again. The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father’s advice and asks the girl the following question: “If you had a brother, would he like spinach?”

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

Another Miracle?
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, “Okay, Mrs. Jones, what’s the problem?” The mother says, “It’s my daughter Darla, she keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight and is sick most mornings.” The doctor gives Darla a good examination then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this but your Darla is pregnant - about 4 months would be my guess.” The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you Darla?” Darla says, “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!” The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out it.

About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there doctor?” The doctor replies, “No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be darned if I’m going to miss it this time!”

THE CORE RULES OF NETIQUETTE [1]

2008-02-20T10:14:00.002Z

The Core Rules of Netiquette are excerpted from the book Netiquette by Virginia Shea.
Introduction by Virginia Shea

What is Netiquette? Simply stated, it's network etiquette -- that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And "etiquette" means "the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or official life." In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online.

When you enter any new culture -- and cyberspace has its own culture -- you're liable to commit a few social blunders. You might offend people without meaning to. Or you might misunderstand what others say and take offense when it's not intended. To make matters worse, something about cyberspace makes it easy to forget that you're interacting with other real people -- not just ASCII characters on a screen, but live human characters.

So, partly as a result of forgetting that people online are still real, and partly because they don't know the conventions, well-meaning cybernauts, especially new ones, make all kinds of mistakes.

The book Netiquette has a dual purpose: to help net newbies minimize their mistakes, and to help experienced cyberspace travelers help the newbies. The premise of the book is that most people would rather make friends than enemies, and that if you follow a few basic rules, you're less likely to make the kind of mistakes that will prevent you from making friends.

The list of core rules below, and the explanations that follow, are excerpted from the book. They are offered here as a set of general guidelines for cyberspace behavior. They won't answer all your Netiquette questions. But they should give you some basic principles to use in solving your own Netiquette dilemmas.

Rule 1: Remember the human
The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people's feelings.

In cyberspace, we state this in an even more basic manner: Remember the human.
When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words -- lonely written words -- are all you've got. And that goes for your correspondent as well.

When you're holding a conversation online -- whether it's an email exchange or a response to a discussion group posting -- it's easy to misinterpret your correspondent's meaning. And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own.

It's ironic, really. Computer networks bring people together who'd otherwise never meet. But the impersonality of the medium changes that meeting to something less -- well, less personal. Humans exchanging email often behave the way some people [contd]

FOOL'S PARADISE...

welcome to fool’s paradise
where exists no parasite
about a new craze me a neophyte
of this thing called web site
first is me looking for email
that my pal me could exchange mail
to do this me will fail
for my email address reads:
fool@paradise.dontcom
to this no one hooks up
soon this email packs up

ozie says email’s nothing
that i should get something
something live and direct
to hook up with the wild wild world
ozie says web site is something
me then should get a web site
a world wide window for me a neophyte
that goes faster than email and pmail

as me finishes reading ozie’s correspondence
should me say what coincidence
i raise my head in my residence
catch sight a buxom spider spinning her own web of residence
at a conspicuous site in my residence
in my presence
elated my eyes shine bright
and my joy knows no height
i watch this spider with delight
spinning its web to fabricate
a wide web intricate
for me to communicate

this spider me removes from its site
for other sites she could fabricate
and me communicate
at every spun web this spider me will extricate
eureka! me finds a web site to participate
to the wide wild world to communicate
through this web site intricate
me then calls ozie to investigate
my exquisite site

ozie calls me a fool.com
but me likes that name
and names my web site:
www dot fool don’t com!

[wrote this poem in 2001; then i knew nothing about internet. there was this friend of mine who always told me about the fascinating net…i didn’t care much. ozie would never believe am blogging now! my friend is late!]

IS IT WISE TO INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET?

2008-02-16T09:39:00.002Z

Buying a 'Piece of the Pie'

Companies need capital, or invested money, to operate successfully. When a company prospers and requires a large amount of capital, its management may choose to offer shares of its stock to the public. One guide to the stock market illustrates it this way: "Stocks are pieces of the corporate pie. When you buy stocks, or shares, you own a slice of the company."

Invest Wisely

The apparent ease of trading stocks on-line and gaining access to information previously reserved for brokers and professional traders has prompted many individual investors to take up day trading, the buying and selling of stocks full-time. Some have given up lucrative careers to become day traders. Why? "The allure is obvious," explains Money magazine. "No bosses, complete control over how and when you trade and the potential—or so it seems—to make a lot of money." One 35-year-old man who quit his $200,000-a-year job to trade stocks at home is quoted as saying: "How else can you have no inventory and no employees, pay no rent, tap-tap-tap on a keyboard and make a living?"

Experts warn that trading stocks is not as easy as it may seem to a new investor. One psychiatrist who specializes in the stresses of trading observes: "Trading seems deceptively easy, but I like to say that it's the hardest way to make an easy dollar." The endless stream of financial news and advice has not come without side effects. Paul Farrell, quoted earlier, notes: "The relentless thrust of information racing at lightning speed at the individual players—both the individual investor and the institutional trader—is having a major psychological impact: rattled nerves, frustrations, stress."

Overconfidence can also be a snare. Financial columnist Jane Bryant Quinn warns of dangerous attitudes among traders: "You think that if you're at the helm—or at the mouse—bad things can't happen. You'll always be able to intervene in time." She adds: "Because we can access information used by pros, we start to think that we're pros, too." Despite the widely publicized stories of investors who have become rich overnight on the stock market, the trading of stocks carries inherent risks. Some investors have been very successful. Others have suffered significant losses.

Corporate Lottery?
In view of the risks associated with the stock market, is buying stock the same as gambling? A measure of risk is involved in nearly all financial investments. Some people buy real estate, not knowing if the value of a property will increase or decrease over time. Others deposit their money in a bank, trusting that their savings will be secure. While the stock market is more complicated, simply put, one who invests in stocks buys the shares of a company in the hope that the enterprise will prosper and the stocks will increase in value.

Such an investment differs from gambling because the stockholder has purchased part of a company. These shares may be sold to another person or saved in the hope of future growth. This cannot be said of a person who bets money at a casino or on a game of chance. Against the odds, the gambler seeks to predict an uncertain outcome and win the loser or losers' stakes.

PORNOGRAPHY: HARMFUL OR HARMLESS?

2008-02-16T09:12:00.002Z

"It creates appetites that should not exist, it stimulates cravings that should never be satisfied."—Tony Parsons, columnist.

JOHN never intended to become addicted to 'Internet sex.'* Like many other people who are accidentally exposed to pornography and sex chat rooms, he was using the Internet one day when he stumbled upon a site offering such chat rooms. Soon, he was completely absorbed in cybersex. "I would wait for my wife to go to work," he remembers, "hop out of bed and spend hours in front of the computer."

During marathon sessions, he would not even stop to eat or drink. "I had no awareness of [being] hungry," he says. He began to lie to his wife about his secret activities. It started to affect his concentration at work, and he became more and more paranoid. His marriage began to suffer, and when he finally arranged to meet one of his cybersex partners in real life, his wife became aware of it. Today John is being treated for his addiction.

Antipornography activists point to stories like this as proof of the degrading effects of pornography. It destroys relationships, they claim, demeans women, abuses children, and engenders a perverted and harmful view of sex. On the other hand, supporters defend pornography as free expression and view the detractors as prudish. "People should not be ashamed of their sexual orientation or desires," writes one proponent. "Pornography can be used to start and stimulate open discussions about sex."

A few even suggest that the proliferation of pornography is the hallmark of an open, healthy society. "A society mature enough to cope with the explicit depiction of sex between consenting adults is likely to be one comfortable with sexual diversity and women's equality," says writer Brian McNair.

Does society's ambivalence make pornography acceptable? Why is it so widespread? Is pornography really a dangerous pursuit?

FACIAL MARKS: NIGERIA'S FADING 'IDENTITY CARD'

2008-02-16T09:06:00.001Z

ONE morning in the late 1960's, six-year-old Danjuma approached his father and insisted that he be given the cuts that Igala citizens wore on their faces with pride. Danjuma felt that he could no longer endure the ridicule of his schoolmates who taunted him for not having the facial marks. Though the cuts were usually administered to Igala infants too young to dread the operation, the boys viewed the marks as a sign of bravery. They regarded those without them as cowards who could not face the knife.

Until then, Danjuma's father had resisted giving his son the facial marks. But that morning, pressured by his son's determination to prove his bravery, he took a knife and made three deep horizontal cuts on each side of the boy's face, slightly above the corners of his mouth.

Danjuma's father knew that the real significance of the cuts had little to do with courage. Instead, the cuts would heal into scars of identification. They would be a permanent 'identity card' that could be neither lost nor forged. They would make his son instantly recognizable to his kinsmen, qualifying him for the rights and privileges of an Igala citizen. But the marks would also set him apart from the more than 250 other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Should facial marks be [outlawed] made illegal in Nigeria?

WHAT ABOUT ONLINE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES?

2008-02-16T08:55:00.000Z

One of the largest online employment Web sites in the United States has 17 million résumés listed for potential employers to peruse and some 800,000 jobs listed for the unemployed to consider. Surveys indicate that up to 96 percent of people in some countries search for jobs using the Internet. However, research compiled among professionals from 40 countries shows that only 5 percent of the job seekers among them actually find work through this medium.

Posting your résumé online increases the number of potential employers who know you are looking for a job, but caution is in order. It also increases your chances of becoming a victim of fraud. To protect yourself from this fate, industry experts provide the following advice:

1. Read the privacy policy of an online employment agency before you post your résumé with them. Some job sites sell your personal details to mass-market companies or other interested parties.

2. Post your résumé with only a handful of reputable online job sites. It is vital to protect your personal information to prevent its being misused. Your résumé should never contain the information a thief would need to steal your identity and cause you endless financial trouble. Legitimate employers do not need to know your bank account number, credit card number, or exact date of birth.

3. Beware of vague job offers. Pam Dixon, a researcher with the World Privacy Forum, says that the more general the offer, the less valid it usually is. “Vague wording like ‘We have thousands of jobs’ or ‘We work with major companies’ is a red flag,” she states, adding: “Requests to send in a new copy of your résumé can spell trouble, too.”

Remember, even the most reputable online job sites cannot control what happens to your résumé once it has been downloaded by a potential employer or other interested party.

NUMBER FIVE: PREPARE WELL FOR YOUR INTERVIEWS

What is involved in preparing for an interview? You may want to research the company you hope to work for. The more you know about the company, the better the impression you will make during the interview. Your research will also help you determine whether the company really has the kind of work you want or is one you want to work for.

Next, think about what you will wear to the interview. If the job you seek involves manual labor, wear appropriate neat, clean clothing. Neat dress and grooming tell the prospective employer that you take pride in yourself and are thus more likely to take pride in your work. If you are hoping to work in an office, choose modest clothing that is considered suitable business attire where you live. Nigel says: “Choose your clothes long before you are due to attend your interview so that you don’t feel rushed and unnecessarily increase your levels of stress prior to the interview.”

Nigel also recommends arriving for your interview about 15 minutes early. Of course, arriving too early is not wise. But arriving late could be disastrous. Experts say that the first three seconds of your interview are crucial. During that brief time, the interviewer makes assessments about your appearance and your bearing that deeply influence his or her opinion of you. If you are late, you will make an overwhelmingly negative impression. Remember, there are no second chances to rectify first impressions.

Remember, too, that the interviewer is not your enemy. After all, he likely had to apply for his job, so he knows how you feel. In fact, he may be nervous, since he may have received little or no training on how to conduct an interview. In addition, if the interviewer is the employer, he may have much to lose if he chooses the wrong person for the job.

During the interview, concentrate on what the employer needs from you and what you have to offer. Regarding things to avoid, Nigel says: “Don’t fidget or slouch—good posture conveys confidence. Don’t be too informal or overly talkative, and definitely do not use profanity. Also, avoid being negative about your former employers and workmates—if you are negative about them, the interviewer will likely feel you will be negative about this job too.”

Regarding things to do and say during the interview, experts recommend the following: Maintain eye contact with the interviewer, use natural gestures when you speak, and articulate clearly. Be concise and honest when answering questions, and ask relevant questions about the company and the prospective job. At the end of the interview, if you still want the job, ask for it. Doing so will show your enthusiasm.
By following the suggestions outlined, you may soon have a job.

2008-02-16T08:43:00.002Z

NUMBER FOUR: PRODUCE AN EFFECTIVE RÉSUMÉ

For those applying for executive positions, compiling and distributing a professional résumé is a must.* But no matter what job you seek, a well-prepared résumé can be a great asset. “A résumé tells potential employers not only who you are but also what you have accomplished and why they need you,” says Nigel, an employment consultant in Australia.

How do you compile a résumé? Provide your full name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. State your objective. List the education you have received, highlighting any training and skills that relate to the job you are seeking. Provide details of previous work experience. Include not only what you did but also examples of the goals you reached and the benefits you brought to your previous employers.

Also highlight aspects of your previous employment that qualify you for the job you are currently seeking. Include personal information that describes your qualities, interests, and hobbies. Because companies’ needs differ, you may have to adjust your résumé for each application.

Should you produce a résumé if you are applying for your first job? Yes! There may be many things you have done that qualify as work experience. For example, do you have hobbies, such as woodworking or perhaps fixing up old cars? These can be listed. Have you engaged in any volunteer work? List the type of volunteer work you have done and the goals you have achieved.

Preparing a résumé will help you feel more in control as you search for work. Nigel, mentioned earlier, says: “Writing a résumé helps you organize your thoughts and goals. It also builds your confidence by helping you prepare for potential questions you may be asked during a job interview.”

2008-02-16T08:38:00.000Z

NUMBER THREE: BE ADAPTABLE

To increase your chances of finding work, you must be adaptable. Jaime, mentioned in the preceding article, observes: “It is unlikely that you will find a job that has everything you hope for. You need to learn to be content with employment that is less than ideal.”

Being adaptable may mean overcoming prejudice against certain types of work. Consider Ericka, who lives in Mexico. Trained as an executive secretary, she was initially unable to find the kind of work she preferred. “I learned to accept any suitable work,” she says. “For a while I worked as a sales assistant. I also sold tacos on the street and cleaned houses. Eventually, I was able to find a job in my field of expertise.”

When Mary, mentioned in the preceding article, lost her job as a clerk, she too saw the need to be adaptable. She explains: “I wasn’t adamant about finding the same type of work I had been doing. I followed up each job opportunity that came along, even if it involved what some might consider menial work. As a result, I was able to find work to support my two children.”

NUMBER TWO: ACCESS THE HIDDEN MARKET

The fisherman with the largest net is the one most likely to catch fish. So, too, your knowing how to increase the size of your “net” will improve your chances of landing a job. If you are looking for work only by responding to newspaper or Internet advertisements, the majority of available jobs may be slipping past your net. A good number of jobs are never advertised. How can you gain access to this hidden job market?

In addition to responding to advertisements, like Katharina you must set aside time each week to call on businesses that you think may have jobs you can do. Do not wait for them to advertise positions. If a manager says that he has no work, ask him if he knows where else you might look and specifically to whom you should speak. If he offers a suggestion, make an appointment with that company, stating the name of the person who referred you.

You can ask your friends, family, and other associates to help you access the hidden job market. This is how Jacobus, a safety officer in South Africa, found a job. He says: “When the company I worked for went out of business, I let friends and family know that I was looking for work. One day a friend of mine overheard a conversation while in line at a supermarket. One woman was asking another if she knew of anyone looking for work. My friend interrupted and told the woman about me. An appointment was arranged, and I got the job.”

5 KEYS TO GETTING A JOB

2008-02-16T08:18:00.002Z

WHO obtains the best job? Is it always the most qualified applicant? “No,” says Brian, an employment consultant. “The job often goes to the most effective job seeker.” What can you do to become a more effective job seeker? Let us consider five suggestions.

NUMBER ONE: BE ORGANISED
If you have lost a good job or have been unemployed for some time, it is easy to become downhearted. “When I first lost my job, I was optimistic about finding another one,” says Katharina, a dressmaker in Germany. “But as the months dragged on and I was unable to find work, I became depressed. Eventually, I even found it hard to talk about the subject with my friends.”

How can you counteract feelings of hopelessness? “It is crucial that you establish your own ‘workday’ schedule so that you start your day knowing what is to be done,” suggests the book Get a Job in 30 Days or Less. The authors recommend that you “set daily goals and record what you have done.” In addition, they say that “each day must start with your getting dressed for work.” Why? “Being dressed properly will give you added confidence even when talking on the telephone.”

Yes, you must make it your job to find a job, no matter how long it takes. Katharina, mentioned earlier, adopted this businesslike approach. She says: “I obtained the addresses and phone numbers of prospective employers from the employment office. I responded to newspaper ads. I studied the phone book and made lists of companies that might have jobs that were not yet advertised, and then I contacted them. I also compiled a résumé and sent it to these companies.” After such systematic searching, Katharina found a suitable job.

SPAM SCAMS

2008-02-16T07:58:00.000Z

SIX COMMON E-MAIL SCAMS
1. Pyramid schemes: These often masquerade as opportunities to make a lot of money with little work and cash outlay. One scheme offers you a computer or some other electronic item if you pay to join a club and then recruit other participants. Another variation is the chain letter. Chain letters are almost always illegal. Most of those who invest in them lose their money.
2. Work-at-home schemes: In one form of this scam, you are offered the opportunity to assemble such things as jewelry, toys, or craft kits. You invest money in the materials and time in assembling the product, only to find that your work cannot be sold to the promoters because it does not meet their standards.
3. Health and diet scams: Flooding the Internet are offers of such things as pills that help you lose weight without exercising or dieting, cures for impotence, and creams to counter hair loss. These offers are sometimes accompanied by testimonials from satisfied customers. Common phrases that appear in these ads include expressions such as “scientific breakthrough,” “miraculous cure,” “secret formula,” and “ancient ingredient.” The truth is, most of these products don’t work.
4. Investment opportunities: These schemes typically offer high rates of return with little or no risk. A common version involves investment in an offshore bank. Investors are lured by assurances that those handling their money have high-level financial connections and possess inside information.
5. Credit repair: These scams offer to remove negative information from your credit file so you can qualify for a credit card, an auto loan, or a job. Despite the assurances, promoters can’t do what they promise.
6. Vacation prize promotions: You receive an E-mail congratulating you on winning a vacation opportunity for a rock-bottom price. Some say that you have been specially selected. Keep in mind that the same notice may have gone out to millions of others and that the accommodation you receive will offer far less than what was advertised.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD

2008-02-16T07:48:00.001Z

CHARISMATIC and soft-spoken, Wayne seemed to be exactly what Karen was looking for in a husband. “He was everything I had ever prayed and hoped for,” said Karen. “Everyone who saw us thought we were just perfect together. He made out that he idolized the ground I walked on.”

There was a problem, however. Wayne told Karen that he was third in charge of the Australian Secret Intelligence Organization. He wanted to resign, but they would not permit that. He knew too much. They would kill him! Together the couple worked out a plan. They would marry, pool their assets, leave Australia, and flee to Canada. Karen sold her home along with everything she owned and entrusted the money to Wayne.

The wedding took place as planned. Wayne fled the country, but Karen was left behind, abandoned, with less than six dollars in the bank. She soon learned that she had been caught in a web of elaborate lies woven for the sole purpose of defrauding her. Like an actor, Wayne had assumed a role—a role tailor-made to appeal to her.

His background, his interests, his personality, and his professed love for her were fabrications to win her trust—a trust that cost her more than $200,000. A police officer stated: “She’s been emotionally raped. You put the money aside—it’s just incredible how much hurt can be done to a person.”

Does the above sound far-fetched? Far from it! You may fall for such
Situation; but you are likely to fall for similar ones. Check yourself before you wreck yourself!

IS ASTROLOGY THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE?

2008-02-16T07:42:00.000Z

HOW can you improve your life and find success in the pursuit of love and money? Many people look to astrology for the answer. Every day millions consult newspaper horoscopes in the hope of improving their prospects. Even world leaders have been known to guide their decisions by the stars.

Is astrology trustworthy? How do astrologers make their predictions? Should Christians allow celestial bodies to determine how they live?
What Is Astrology?

According to The World Book Encyclopedia, astrology “is based on the belief that the heavenly bodies form patterns that can reveal a person’s character or future.” Astrologers claim that the precise positions of the planets and the signs of the zodiac at the time of a person’s birth can influence his life course.* The position of these heavenly bodies at any given moment is called a horoscope.

Belief in astrology is ancient. Some four thousand years ago, the Babylonians began to predict the future according to the positions of the sun, the moon, and the five most visible planets. They claimed that these heavenly bodies exerted certain forces that affected human behavior. Later they incorporated the signs of the zodiac into their predictions.

WHO IS GOD?

2008-02-16T07:31:00.000Z

"GOD is the name commonly given to the ultimate source and power of the universe and the subject of religious devotion," says The Encyclopedia Americana. A dictionary defines the term "God" as "the supreme or ultimate reality." What is the nature of such an awesome reality?
Is God an impersonal force or a real person? Does he have a name? Is he a triune entity, a Trinity, as many believe?
An Impersonal Force or a Real Person?
Many who believe in God think of him as a force, not as a person. In certain cultures, for example, gods have been identified with the forces of nature. Some who have examined evidence gathered through scientific research into the structure of the universe and the nature of life on earth have concluded that there has to be a First Cause. Nevertheless, they hesitate to attach a personality to this Cause.

Who do you think God is?

CELL PHONE AND YOUR SPERM!

2008-02-14T16:22:00.002Z

Men who talked more than 4 hours a day had lowest counts, study says
Spending hours on a cell phone each day may affect the quality of a man’s sperm, preliminary research suggests.
In a study of 361 men seen at their infertility clinic, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found an association between the patients’ cell phone use and their sperm quality.

On average, the more hours the men spent on their cell phones each day, the lower their sperm count and the greater their percentage of abnormal sperm.

The findings, published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, add to questions about the potential health effects of cell phones and other wireless devices. Some studies, for example, have linked long-term cell phone use to a higher risk of brain tumors, though many other studies have found no such connection.

The concern is that, over time, the electromagnetic energy emitted from mobile phones could theoretically harm body tissue — by damaging DNA, for example.
However, the new findings do not prove that cell phones somehow damage sperm, according to the researchers.

THE TRIGGER TALE...part seven

2008-02-13T14:10:00.001Z

“I think we should take him to the hospital”, as he poured himself some cold water from the dispenser, handing another cup to Atiko.

“Don’t be hysterical! He’s only having a fit of stress- nightmare. By the time he wakes up I’m sure he’ll be fine,” Atiko assured Funki, as she pressed her chest against his. She used her teeth to draw his lips apart…caressed his chin. He kissed her on the forehead and downed the remaining water left in the cup. He threw the cup in a corner and did the same to Atiko’s. They stood face to face to - two passionate lovers- just a breath apart. With his left hand he was unbuttoning her shirt and with the right hand stroking her tresses; she heaved as the buttons were undone. They kissed. He started to pull off the shirt from her body…

“Come on, you shameless he-goat!” Atiko stopped Funki, as beads of sweat began to form a halo on his forehead with his heart beating a hyper-rate. “Remember, don’t forget, no fornicator shall inherit God’s kingdom!”

“Why then have you been leading me on all this while?” Funki retorted, trying to put her shirt back in shape. Rather than button up the shirt he became to caress her chest- Atiko gave him a light knock on his head. “Hey young man, are you going to rape your fiancée!” she said as she gently pushed him away. “Aren’t you ashamed treating a lady this way- in front of your friend?”

“But-,” Funki was protesting.
“But me no buts,” his fiancée quickly cut in.
“But he’s sleeping…” he said finishing his statement.
“No-no-no! if you really want to touch and caress my body when and how you want it make me your wife as soon as possible- until then, embargo on kissing and unbuttoning of my shirt, or trying to be ungentlemanly”.
“What a heck- Miss Moral!”

“Handy!” he jumped out of his chair as he screamed.
“Ozi!” the lovers exclaimed in unison. “Relax baby,” Funki said as he walked towards Ozi, who looked dazed like someone who had just escaped a dragon-guarded dungeon. “It’s a nightmare. You’ll be fine”.

“Come, sit on the sofa,” Funki beckoned. Ozi stood still with the word stupefied describing him. “Come baby,” Atiko repeated the invitation, as she walked towards him. “No, I’m dead!” he said, gesturing to her not to come any closer. “You’re what!” she said- an interjection rather than a question. “Dead man tells no tale, you know? You must be kidding. It’s been a nightmare. You survived it.”

“I was killed,” Ozi said not relenting. “OK. You were killed! Why are you still alive talking? Cut the craps my friend,” Funki said in exasperation. “Just come and sit down dead or alive,” he told Ozi as he dragged him to the sofa. The three were seated. They all sat there looking morosely at nothing.

“Was it all in a dream- some nightmare? I heard people mourning that I had died,” Ozi began looking at his best friend.
“I saw you and Atiko crying uncontrollably…why?” he asked as he threw his hands into the air in resignation. He shook his head and turned his face in Atiko’s direction. She smiled at him as she held his hands tenderly, as if reassuring him that it was just a terrible nightmare and now relax we are with you. He tried to force a smile back but failed; his countenance was of one who was befuddled.

“Do you want anything? You want us to take you to the hospital? Or you want us to leave you alone?” Funki queried in succession.
“Come on dear…don’t bury the poor guy with your questions!” she said. She looked at Ozi again, kissed him on the forehead and said: “Do you want to tell us about the dream; you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Maybe it will make you feel better sharing with us what you just experienced in your dark moment.”

“Do you guys think am going gaga or something like it?” he asked. “Well, I am not a psychiatrist. So I wouldn’t know,” his friend retorted.
“Tell us your dream,” Atiko suggested.

Ozi heaved a sigh. He looked into the empty void and shook his head. His two friends looked at him patiently- they wanted to have a peek into his troubled mind.

TEXTURE OF DARKNESS

2008-02-13T14:07:00.000Z

glimpses of foggy feelings
outlined in rough texture of darkness
cataclysmic sadness enshrouded
in sunken sockets
of eerie eyes in broken skull

my fears are my self

immortal thoughts bargaining an end
adult eyes immobiled by painted devil
dilating pupils picturing a final closure
deathly sight of holes of hidden hearts

my fears are my self

unshared soul divided by self
self-shut self-hidden self-sold
in dungeon of nothingness
in cold blood of sudden cessation

BOBOLAIYEFA

2008-02-13T14:00:00.000Z

i am Bobolaiyefa
begging bread on Lagos left-over streets
with the bleating goats and barking dogs struggling with me
i am the common face unknown in the neighbourhood
the miasma that hangs around selfish lives

i am Bobolaiyefa
bending down below earth’s below to feed
on earth’s rottenness
what brought me here is not madness
it is you and my people’s mindlessness

i am Bobolaiyefa
who are you and who is your father?
have you heard wisdom out of insanity?
know not life’s travails yet you claim wisdom
who taught you its lessons?

i am Bobolaiyefa
enter my shoes and tell where they pinch
is everything inch by inch a cinch?
see your incurable madness around me
but how many of you think!

MY SUNSHINE

2008-02-13T13:44:00.002Z

resplendent rays trickle in
through the cumulus cloth
of sky-high firmament...
flickering flashes of brilliant illumination
set high heavens ablaze in haloed glory

and a beauty peeks...
a pristine eastern magic
with eyeballs like iridescent nuggets
her royal majesty of radiance
an inspiring sparkle of a new dawn
...and the clouds and the winds
and the ground below do obeisance

her words come in dazzling brilliance
of celestial lights
her passion is warming
and her anger searing
she blesses the day warming up a cold
heart of despair...

she is light in darkness...
a passionate visitor that wants to stay for ever
she' s the sun that never sets
the shine that never fades nor flickers
always there like Joshua's sun
Sun sets in the West...
smouldering into ashes of looming night
a live coal begetting cold impotent ashes
but in the heart the sun burns unburnt
with the heart the sun never sets
my sunshine

the rainbow that brightens
may you never set
like Joshua's sun that stood still
may the clouds of life's cares
never hold your shining in its covering cloth...
sunshine you're the glory of the dawn
may your iridescent face
always shine with smiles
and from a trillion miles
may your bliss reach the West...
you're the sun you're the shine
the sparkle of a glorious dawn
the dream of a starry night
may your life's sun always shine.

THE GARDEN

2008-02-13T13:39:00.000Z

in the garden of my heart
where resplendent meanings adorn
the lingering lushness of passion
where flowering sentiments stand in style
rooted in romantic robustness of my fertile heart...

in the garden of my heart
where flourishing flowers of feelings flaunt
freely like colours caressing a canvass
the canvass of my heart...

in the garden of my heart
where the dew drops perform baptism
on the innermost soil of my heart
awakening finer seeds of bloom to blossom
inspiring the garden of my heart in the colours of rainbow
illumining the crevice of my heart...

in the garden of my heart
i saunter inwardly
to the dainty embrace of one of the brightest bloom
in the garden of my heart
it's like a rainbow coming in a blue moon
and with the glory of a shine that steals through my heart...

in the garden of my heart
i find a flower coming in the glory of a sunshine

you are one of the brightest flowers
in the garden of my heart

DRY MY TEARS...

2008-02-13T13:03:00.000Z

in the overflow of thoughts and sentiments
over out-stretched arms of fellowship
where the depth of heart transcends every day meaning
i awake
silhouetted in the brilliance of the morning-glory
with misty eyes begging for a caressing-wash...
someone dries my tears

in the space of my fragile heart
through the void of my heavy head
filled with dark matters of unresolved passion and reason
i awake
seared by the noon scorching heat
with wearied eyes blindly open...
someone dries my tears

in the feelings i can't explain and
the thinking supplicating for meanings
opening up my growing mind for what will and what can
i awake
drenched by torrents of dew drops
with blinking eyes bent on a final closure...
Someone dries my tears

i don't know
but, i always love to think
i don't know
but, i swim in a sea of feelings
i wonder
What if am really crazy
huh?
i awake
telling my self i don't know what
i have not known...
with Nostradamus eyes
can i see what the bosom of the future shrouds?
someone dries my tears

sometimes i think
when i think
i think of what i don't know
or may never come to know
sometimes when i feel i know
it is what i have not known
that i know...
with eyes of unknown i seek and peek
into the mystery what will be
and can be
someone dries my tears

someone that is so far
but, undeniably intimately close
whose sweet breath inspires my fragile heart
like the eastern light illumining the landscape
someone whose absence is a lingering presence
a light unburnt; eternally strong and compassionately Intimate
a warmth soothing the innermost nerves...
I awake
with eyes open with some meaning
walking with this light of compassion and unbounded intimacy.
