Natural Gas

Image
Natural gas (also called fossil gas) is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium. It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the Earth over millions of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in the gas. Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as a fuel for vehicles and as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of plastics and other commercially important organic chemicals. Natural gas has a complicated effect on climate change; it itself is a greenhouse gas, and it releases carbon dioxide when burned. However, natural gas use often supplants coal use,...

Temperament theory has its roots in the ancient  four humours  theory. It may have origins in  ancient Egypt  or  Mesopotamia , but it was the Greek physician  Hippocrates  (460–370 BC) who developed it into a medical theory. Certain human moods, emotions, and behaviours were caused by an excess or lack of body fluids (called "humour"):  blood , yellow  bile , black bile, and  phlegm . there are four fundamental personality types:  sanguine ,  choleric ,  melancholic , and  phlegmatic Sanguine The personality type of Sanguine is described primarily as being enthusiastic, active, and social. Sanguine tend to be more extroverted and enjoy being part of a crowd; they find that being social, outgoing, and charismatic is easy to accomplish. Individuals with this personality have a hard time doing nothing and engage in a more risk-seeking behaviour. Choleric Choleric individuals...

Money Laundering

Money laundering is the process of transforming the proceeds of crime and corruption into ostensibly legitimate assets. In a number of legal and regulatory systems, however, it has become conflated with other forms of financial and business crime, and is sometimes used more generally to include misuse of the financial system (involving things such as securities, digital currencies, credit cards, and traditional currency), including terrorism financing and evasion of international sanctions. Most anti-money laundering laws openly conflate money laundering (which is concerned with source of funds) with terrorism financing (which is concerned with destination of funds) when regulating the financial system. Some countries define money laundering as obfuscating sources of money, either intentionally or by merely using financial systems or services that do not identify or track sources or destinations.[citation needed] Other countries define money laundering to include money from activit...

Love or Lust

Image
Poets, songwriters and even scientists have pondered the question: what is love and what is lust? Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if you are in lust or love, both are hard to define and the division of the two can get blurry. Love is one of life’s most intense emotions, and when you are in lust it’s easy to think you are feeling love but the two are different.  If you’ve been struck by Cupid’s arrow, read on to learn if what you’ve found is love or lust. Are You in Lust or Love?    Love commonly starts out as lust and the two might even have an overlapping stage at some point in the relationship — or lust may never turn into love. Lust is what first brings people together. It’s that initial desire to be with the person, while love is the desire to stay with him or her. They are both experiences felt by a person for another person but when you feel lust for someone, generally you’re just attracted to him or her; you don’t have that deep emotiona...

Pounded Yam

Iyan (Pounded Yam) is a known and prestigious staple popular among the highly educated and illiterate Nigerian. Iyan is what Yorubas call it. In Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Cross River and some other states, pounded yam is a choice food when having a traditional event like marriage, naming, chieftancy title awards, coronation of a new King and buffets.  Iyan is made from pounding yam repeatedly with a club like cooking utensil called Pestle inside a bucket like cooking utensil (Mortar).

Live Your Day

This morning as I took my kids to school, I was feeling rushed and harried. Stress levels high, my face wore a permanent frown, my mind was in a million different places, and my two youngest kids (3 year old, and 20 months) were quiet in their car seats. Then I realized: while my mind is elsewhere, I’m missing some prime moments with my kids. And not really enjoying my day. And so I changed the moment, and in doing so changed my day: we began singing some of our favorite children’s songs. Itsy-bitsy spider, twinkle twinkle, wheels on the bus, ABCDs, I’ve been working on the railroad, the ants go marching two by two … all of the oldies. Instead of thinking about all the things I had to do today, I brought myself into the present moment. And when we got to school, I took a few minutes to spend time with them. Be present with them. It was truly lovely. This little incident not only brought warmth and joy into my heart … it brought a realization into my mind: I can either have a s...

What is music ? Music is the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (sometimes both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. As a teenager, I listen to music everyday. I can name almost name every song that comes on the radio.  Listening to music takes the stress away from my mind. I love listening to music. Listening to music is my new hobby. I cannot go a day without listening to music. Music comes in different genres. I listen to many genres. The genre I listen to the most is R&B. I listen to R&B because it relates to my life. R&B is one of the tops ten genres listened to. Music to me is like a reading teacher reading a book. Music is just that good. The R&B singers I listen to are Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, Monica, K Michelle, and Usher. I listening to more than that but I do not want to waste my time writing all of the names. I wake up listening to music. Music is my passion. While I am writing this, I am listening ...

Nature: A blessing

Image
In recent years, researchers have become aware of a powerful new kind of therapy, which is just as effective against depression as traditional psychotherapyor medication. And the amazing thing is that you don’t have to pay for this therapy. It’s free, and completely accessible to anyone at anytime. It’s not even a new therapy either – in fact, it’s even older than the human race.  This is ecotherapy – contact with nature. A few years ago researchers at the University of Essex in 2007 found that, of a group of people suffering from depression, 90 percent felt a higher level of self-esteem after a walk through a country park, and almost three-quarters felt less depressed. Another survey by the same research team found that 94% of people with mental illnesses believed that contact with nature put them in a more positive mood. Since then, in the UK contact with nature has been increasingly used as a therapy by mental health professionals.  But as well as helping us to h...

The Three P’s – Patience, Persistence, Perseverance

Well, I believe that it’s not only possible but also quite easy if you focus on three innate qualities that all of us are born with. We’re all individual people. We all have unique goals, aspirations and dreams. But what allows some people to excel in life and make their wildest dreams come true, while others languish in their own misery? I think it comes down to The Three P’s: Patience.       Definition: the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain,without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.  Persistence.     Definition: to continue steadfastly or firmly in some state, purpose, course of action, or the like, especially inspite of opposition, remonstrance, etc. (from persist)  Perseverance.        Definition: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties,obstacles, or discouragement.  I view all t...

THE HOME - BASIC UNIT OF THE SOCIETY

Image
Parent Build Lives Parents build lives, the lives of Christians, leaders, business men, and farmers of tomorrow even including terrorists of tomorrow.      Susannah Wesley, the godly wife of an eighteenth century evangelist, raised a family of Christians. Outstanding among her children were Charles and John, who later founded "The Methodist Church". This church in its day represented a revival of Biblical standards in England. One day at a family reunion, a friend jokingly asked the sons, " which one of you is the better preacher? "          "Our mother", responded one of them in all seriousness. Though the bible forbids women to speak in congregation, faithful Susannah Wesley, through the Gospel " preached " and practised at home, helped to change the spiritual history of England. On the other hand, let me tell you another story: One day I visited FBI headquarter in Washington DC. One of the agents there showered me pictures of the ten...

Cheating is one of the most researched fields of our love life and yet we don’t know many things about cheating. Who cheats the most? Why? Where? When? With whom? Those are all question on which we can give so many answers and yet we would be wrong. And, what is the better place to cheat than your workplace? Jealous guys are so afraid that their girls and women are cheating them on their jobs, and does this jealous justified? Website Victoria Milan conducted a survey of over 5,000 women to try to establish a link between certain professions and the probability of cheating partners.  At the top are the bankers and the workers on the stock exchanges, while just a few steps behind we have workers in the aviation industry such as pilots and flight attendants. Third place belongs to probably the most common category in erotic novels – nurses and doctors. Surveys have shown that two of the three unfaithful wives do their extramarital sexual activities at work, but 85 percent of...
