The Climatic Change
Our world is not as healthy as we once knew it. Different omens and signs are around us to testify from changing climatic conditions to various new diseases and infections. The Global warming is a major and vast concern to us all , the Ozone Layer is rapidly deteriorating not only as a result of it being used as a protection of the Earth's surface from UV-rays but also from man made actions like the CFCs, the carbon monoxide, the SO2 , NO2 and others. Global warming simply put , is the heating-up of the planet due to increased internal temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This can be likened to boiling a sealed half-filled kettle with water. The amount of pressure and temperature that would be built up in it would be enough to cook whatever is placed in it if left for a long time . In the Earth's case , we the humans haven't been cooked yet literally but we experience similar things . The melting of the ice poles which can be related to the massive ice loss in the Greenland, Arctic, Antarctic and glaciers throughout. The increase in thermal heat across the system and changing weathers depicts evidence of Global Warming also.
In the late quarters of the year to the early quarters of the following year, a wind which brings dust blows from the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea ; the West of Africa is in the path of such wind and it brings about a characteristic cold breeze with it, which develops into the classically known *harmattan* in the West Africa. This has been the trend for decades from periods of early November to late March . In the West of Africa as of now and spanning an accumulate of 4 years, a dramatic change in the climate has been noticed. The harmattan is no longer as noticed as before and rainfalls range flutters over different regions . A key note in all of this is that the planet is dying figuratively. Europe also has it fair share of catastrophe such as flash floods and wild fires such as the recent Colorado wild fire and heat-based disease outbreaks . Actions can be taken to ease and reduce the effects of Global Warming while working towards to end it. The use of Equipments with less carbon monoxide waste products, use of electric based instruments instead of fuel-based like coal, fossil, wood which brings about CO , unnecessary Bush burning and starting of big camp fires .
It good to be observant and be of good influence to whatever we do and in whatever we do . Let keep the planet green .

Take-Five : A Visit To The Suburbs
As it is still a festive period and all hands are to be on deck in promoting the moment , I as a person volunteered to be part of the family escort to the suburbs because I rarely go in visiting Grandma but the moment couldn't be more right , How ?! you might ask ; well , we are on a same semester break in my college, I happen to have a just-sufficient-enough money with me for the jollying of the period and a free ride with goodies is also available for takes ... it funny , right ? Well , yeah it is. Back to my Grandma , well GranGran stays in the suburbs and she loves her grand children coming to visit her and spend time with her during these periods . Well , if you must know and also an important point which I purposely left out , I am the eldest of her grand children, not something I am so much proud of but I sure love to flex it and the authority that comes with it .
Well , enough with the well-fed prologue and back to my Visit Extravaganza ! ~Lol~ ... I am going to start with the road trip . My Uncle ,Sam was the one driving . He was sure kind enough to offer free rides to us Relatives especially me ( Going without saying , his car sure is big enough) ; he stilll accepting me to chip in is still a daze . You might wonder about that spark the last sentence might make, I and Uncle Sam ain't the best of buddies or friends as you might call it . Simply put , I hate his guts and he hates mine ... "Hate" is a strong word but you kinda get the drift . It doesn't mean we don't get on good terms sometimes , as a matter of fact, he once treated me to lunch when I was in School as he came for a friend's event close to my School and he decided to check on his Cousin . Uncle Sam's jeep carried , conveniently, six people including Uncle Sam . Name count would be Uncle Sam , Uncle George , Aunt Beatrice, John , Maggie and I . The journey to Grandma's place was surprisingly interactive as those of us in the vehicle rarely meet up and meaning, we rarely converse with each other before . It was there I knew Uncle George is a divorced "yikes" . We bought presents and goodies on our way for Grandma and the house when we arrive. The journey wasn't long , we spent a total of 4 hours on the road ... my buttocks were all sore and cells-dead though ~ lol ~ .
We arrived at the town and in some couple of minutes, we were at the house entrance. Grandma was outside the house with her peers and well-wishers. On seeing us , she left her peers and came to meet us just at the doors of the cars as we were un-stuffing the jeep's booth with luggages and other things ventured in. The holiday sure was fun and jolly while it lasted . Grandma fed us and stuffed us like a Piñata in our stay with her and I had loads of fun .
Be sure to have fun with your family this festive season and share later on with us at Read.Cash ...
Thanks for reading and for your time . See you soon .
The Aftermaths: A Pike and Shield Story
Ever been through a phase where you are stuck in the middle of a situation where you have to pick between two not-so-favorable options ? The consequences of actions taken are all a part and play of life lessons , one should also weigh out the results that would arise from decision makings . No one loves a bad story or a sad ending regardless of whether it is from them or not, I know it is a Christmas festive period and I should maybe be pouring out my season-greetings felt heart but I wasn't moved to write on it . I just got a nudge to emphasise in my little words and knowledge on Consequences lying around in the world waiting for one individual or so to become entangled in them when actions are taken without considerations . I , myself, am a victim of circumstances to taking rash decisions without even thinking it through.
Aftermath ?! Aftermath?!! Aftermath ?!!! What comes to our minds when such a word rings out ? Well, to my understanding, I say *Aftermath* is the devastating end results of an action that has been taken by someone. It might seem an archaic or antique word ,it can also be used interchangeably with "Consequences" . Are we all ready to face the results of actions taken ? No one wants a bad apple or a sour food ... many people nowadays live their lives nonchalantly and without care , they behave in manners that harm their close ones and the society at a large even causing harm and damages to themselves but that is a story they don't wanna open a chapter in it even though they are well aware of the dangers of lifestyles lived.
A typical example would be an addict smoker ; it may be the cigarette, hemp , cannabis and the likes. Anyone involved in such activities as an addict would not have to venture in such if they had thought of the Aftermath of such a reckless activity as it leads to serious negative health issues like damaging the kidney which peradventure leads to difficulty attached to breathing . A Pike and Shield effect is just a tell-tale in this direction also of a man who says great words of a Pike which is said to be able to pierce through anything and a Shield also which is said to be impenetrable, what happens when both the Pike and Shield are put to the test against each other ... that would be a kinda sticky situation ? Well , we can all see where this would play out to ... if the Pike stands it reputation, the Shield would be destroyed meaning its legend is false and if the Shield should stay true to its name also , the Pike would be defeated where in each case the man would be put to shame as he would be called a liar . Like I said , dire matters need critical decisions and whatever decision made must be with a back up plan cos nothing is ever guaranteed.
In all , no one is perfect and all knowing . Any decision that would be made should be carefully considered and weighted out to see the cost of risks and also see if it puts others at a disadvantage. We should take decisions with the minimal risk outcome and not just take actions blindly .
Thanks for reading and your time and Happy Christmas to you all ...
The Snake : A Deadly Reptile By Reputation
Most of us on hearing of the snakes sit tight at the edge of our sits and stay woke ... the snake is not such a friendly animal nor is it as volatile as people say it is . Personally, I am scared of the reptile in particular and would freak out if ever encountered with one and I haven't had as much encounter with the Snakes as much as I have had with other reptiles such as the lizards and sorts . What comes to our mind or what do we understand or feel when you hear of a Snake ? Well , generally a cold and spineless shiver runs us over and a thought of danger floods our mind but what if I said otherwise ... that we were wrong ; Crazy right ?
Generally, the stereotype given to the snake is so partial and bias very much on the reptile's part as not all Snakes are dangerous as we tag them to be . Some Snakes are poisonous while some are venomous; some Snakes bites the victim then wait for the victim to be demobilised/paralysed before attempting to eat it while some snakes specialises in wrapping round the victim to collapse it internally or break it bone to ease swallowing. Funny fact is that snakes can't chew ; their jaws isn't designed for chewing but it definitely allows expansion as the snakes swallow their preys whole with the aid of their adjustable jaws. As much as I don't fancy snakes , I am pretty much obsessed with them ... my favourites being the Cobras and the Pythons. I do have a show I watch on DSTV on the Discovery Family channel or is it the NatGeo Wild channel? titled **"Snakes In The City"** - the show educates me on the types of Snakes there is and how to know them apart from the deadly to the harmless to the poisonous to the venomous *(pardon me for not remembering the channel's name, it been long I stared into a TV .. the College I attend has a no strict policy on televisions in the dorms. I last watched a show on the TV when I was home ) .* The show is about a Couple or they kinda seem like it who are into the Snake-catching business ; people who have a snake problem in their yard or spots a snake in their garden calls them to come have the snake picked and sorted out , so it was left to the Snake catchers to develop means to use in catching the snakes and getting the job done . Truth be told, the job is as scary as it sounds because truly and sincerely, if the snake is caught and bagged it is then released into the wild in a suitable habitat for the snake where it can thrive and hunt on preys in peace .. pretty nice life for the snake right ? But the snake doesn't know this and just tag the Snake catching couples as threat and wanna strike them .
I am not trying to deviate from my point that snakes are not all that dangerous, I am just trying to say there are people who see the good and benefits of the Snakes in the society and ain't scared to go extra miles to get the job done for a better world . In some climate over-run with frogs , rats and other rodents the Snakes are a natural checkmate set in place by Nature to curb and maintain the population of such growing pests or invaders of the rodents by preying on them as food . Snakes themselves are scared of us as we are scared of them , they attack when threatened out of their space or comfort zone just like a human would react also when pushed to the wall . A Python or an Anaconda would wrap around you and squeeze the life out of its prey before swallowing it whole; I am just fascinated by this phenomenon even though it isn't a thing of beauty.
Well , I would wrap up my point of view saying "A reputation that has been built for ages take a little more than talks and do to wash it down the drain" .

My Chimera Week
Hey guys , it been so long since I posted here on ReadCash likewise NoiseCash ... it not to my benefit also or to my happiness; I have been bedridden for days now if not weeks . I am thankful to God that I came out stronger with a desire now .
The experience or adventure as I would like to call it wasn't as funny as I would say it . It all started on a fateful morning as I saw sign of tiredness and loss of appetite, I thought it was a normal change of tastebuds as I ate a lot of things at different intervals also .. you can say I am a man who love to experiment with different kinds of food . My friends noticed my change of mood and loss of interest in things and called my attention to it , I could no longer ignore the incoming visit from illness and had to go to the clinic to get myself checked. I was diagnosed with some ailments and given some drugs to suppress them in order not to affect my health to a point of no return.
The drugs didn't stop me from being bed ridden though ... I got worse , I couldn't eat ,sleep well or converse well . All I could do then was sit on the bed , eat some semi solids and then lie down. All these transversed whilst I was still in College because as at the writing of this article , I was already at home with Parents for proper treatment. My friends really did alot for me , they took care of me to the best of their abilities, they didn't leave me alone and tried to engage me in all possible to ways . Like the sickness wasn't enough , the College also released tests results during that same week to compound thoughts of students and affect them in various ways ... I had my own not-so-funny share too but I thank God we all scaled through without casualties .
During that frame of time also , a bank carried out an Expo on campus creating awareness for students and also opening a student account for them free of charge and without stress , I wasn't chanced to be in the Expo though 'cause I was ill nevertheless i already had an account with the bank that came to do the Expo . We wrote some series of exams also during that period ; we wrote GES 107 , GES 108 and also TME121 - this TME 121 was the worst for me because it was a period when my illness peaked for me and really inconvenienced me writing the exams and it was an exam not to be failed as it was really important to my department.
The event that unfolded that week as I got home was one to write about because my Parents were unsettled even before I got home as I had told them I was ill and they were up and worried and had to set things in place for me before I even got home . On getting home , i cleaned myself up and was taken to the family's hospital where I was given series of injections to stabilise myself and pills also to accompany the injections.
Glory be to God now , I am alright and okay and free from sickness . I can walk freely , eat and engage in all kinds of activities. I look forward to writing more articles to cover for my days of inactivity.
Thanks for reading and for your time .
I am back hale and hearthy guys ...let get back to posting 👌

A Dream Family
As obnoxious as this title might seem for a teenager , it is still a stepping stone worth considering before putting a foot on it. A Family to one day call your own , a family to one day shoulder its responsibilities. What is a Family ? Who is a Parent ? I guess these are all basic terms in the family tree that one is acquainted to or at the very least we think we are acquainted to. A family or a parent is more than people related to us by blood ; well in the lay sense, our family and parents are those who we share ties to by blood directly or indirectly but with the way things are going now in this century , the family based term are judged based on relationship to one another and ties with people closed by sometimes responsibilities , commitments, trustworthiness, undying love and so on . A person can be your brother or sister and yet not do half or have impact on one's life as much as a non-relative would .
Well , when I am talking about my dream family I am not saying I want to be surrounded by group of nobodies with no ties whatsoever to me and neither am I saying I want to be surrounded by people with blood ties to me but no impact . A family in my definition would be a group of people bonded by not just blood ties or paternal/maternal trees but people bonded by mutual beliefs, trustworthiness, hope , unshakeable faith , trust ,reliability and a sense of belonging of being responsible for one another . Those notions might sound absurd and out of the blues but that is what I feel a family should contain and be built around . Of course, I want to get married and have kids and build a family of my own having blood ties with me but not withstanding building bond and ties with people outside your circle and comfort zone in whom you can have trust in and confide beats having a whole escort of guards at most times .
What family should be the goal then is what you might ask ? Well,different strokes for different folks. We all need to know what suits each and every one of us and where our comfort zone lies . My typical family would consist of my wife and two kids - a boy and a girl - whom my financial status would be able to cater for . A partner in whom I can put my trust in and that can share my responsibilities, my burden , my dreams, my pains.
Nothing also beats the joy of having to call someone yours as in a family as it is also a gathering where those who hold you dearest to heart are found. Togetherness in a family also drives them into accomplishing so many things that would be out of their grasp if there weren't in unity .
My Dream Family is that gathering and pack of people in whom I cherish and gear to achieve great things with out of their grasp if there weren't in unity .

A Day As Precious As Gem , A Day Worth Reliving
***A Day As Precious As Gem , A Day Worth Reliving***
I woke up late and as every other mornings , I was hungry and angry . I always wake up angry and moody , I don't know why and I don't care why . The first living creature I caught sight of as I rolled out of bed was my room mate well asides the inanimate creature of my mobile phone which is always the first thing I do drive my attention to before any other thing in the morning. Well , back to my roomie , I caught sight of him doing his morning rituals as I do call it ~silly me ~ . Don't be afraid, he isn't a Native Doctor or a Sorcerer; he is just an upright religious individual who prays first thing in the morning as he wakes and has been trying to initiate me into the same routine ever since we met but it looks like I am a bit of a slow learner .
Judging from the mood and timing of the events , it seems we woke up at the same time - this isn't the first time something of such happens , I guess we are connected to an extent by now as we have been roomies for almost a year . We both did our respective routinely chores ; I tidy-up the house and he zoomed off to the kitchen to make our food as he knows I hate eating breakfast late and when I do , I become squeamish all day. Y'all should chill down a sec , we ain't couples or homosexuals ... we just find division of labour amongst ourselves handy and it gives us ample time on our hands. Well , if it must be said ; I tidy up the house , do the dishes and sorts - the ratio of chores between us is balanced even though so , I think it is more preferably to my side .
After having our bath and all dressed up , we had our breakfast, walked each other to Lecture rooms and then went our separate ways . We attend the same College school and I major in Engineering while my room mate major in Medicine ( he is a tad more brilliant than I am , i hate to admit ) . Life in the Campus is just as busy and bulky as the life of an average worker in the open world , students don't have it so easy as Parents and other people think . Not a minute sooner as we were each done with our respective lectures, I and my roomie met at the usual spot which was the school cafeteria closest to each of our lecture rooms . We exchanged talks about each of our classes and when it was time to depart, we agreed on a time to rendezvous back as we were to each get birthday presents for Cecil , the Course Rep of my Department , as her birthday was to be held that night at her place . It was to be a harmless and mutual celebration where everyone is to have a chance to celebrate with Cecil and gift her presents - Yes , of course, there would be loads of foods and fun filled events -
I got Cecil a wristwatch; a not-so-miserly but yet expensive wristwatch while my roomie got her a diary; I had no idea where he got the idea of a diary from or maybe that was what he could afford to get ( I would have gladly give him donations if he asked but he is not an outspoken person even to me ). Eventually after the hustle and bustle of the day at school and at home , night fell and it was time for the Birthday party which was to commence by 8pm. As planned, all invited members were present at the function and as soon as we were up to the accredited numbers , we began . We partied all through the evening and engaged in all kinds of fun filled events till it was time to go home ; I had silently wished that this time wouldn't come. I and my roomie went home , talking and laughing all through the way home , we were filled to the brim with food and drinks and was even opportuned to take home paper bags ~smiles~ I wished it didn't have to end and was to continue for ever.
The day went as any other usual day would go with its ups and down and the good and bad , it wasn't so perfect-a-day as to say it was a dream come true or a paradise on Earth but it was one worth remembering.
I really enjoyed the time i spent with my friends but time passed , eyelids became heavy and tiredness set in till we gave in to sleep . It was a memorable day.
The whole 24 hourswasn't as rosy and perfect as a chicken fillet placed perfectly in between two burger buns with appropriate fillings and toppings waiting to be ate by someone but it was one spent with close friends that is worth remembering and re-living if given the chance .
Thank you for reading and for your time .
The Mysterious Date
***The Mysterious Date***
There I was on a sundy afternoon in my room wondering and thinking of how my day would turn out 'cause I have been indoors since the previous night when my phone rang out loud; It was a call from my friend.
***You might be wondering what I meant by "Sundy" - it is a coined name for a sunny and windy weather *lol****
I picked up the mobile phone and this conversation ensued:
--------------------------------------------
***Me :*** Hello mate , how you doing ?
***Friend 1 :*** I am alright, Bro .How is your day going so far?
***Me :*** It is cool and yours ?
***Friend 1 :*** It is alright also . Hey , i have a little request from you
***Me :*** What is it?
***Friend 1 :*** Can you tag along with me on a date tomorrow to make it a double date . You can either bring someone with you or I arrange someone for you . I just met a girl and we decided to go on a date but I don't want to go alone.
***Me ( not wanting to disappoint because Friend 1 is as single as hell ) :*** Okay , yeah no issue but you gonna have to arrange someone for me because I don't have anyone on short notice
****coughs- I lied****
***Friend 1 :*** Alright mate .. I got you covered.
--------------------------------------------
As you would expect and think , this conversation was harmless and should bring out the best of results when experimented. As discussed , I and my friend met the next day and lo and behold , there he was at the front of the Mall with two girls by his side ***( I didn't know which was mine and which was his )*** . So , I hesitated to go to him to avoid the embarrassment of ***"Is this my girl? "*** ; my friend being observant and smart gestured out the girl I was to take on our assumed date and I walked up to her , skipped the formalities and held her hand . We entered into the Mall , did some shoppings and we checked out of the Mall to move to a Dine-In restaurant. This was where everything started going awkward in my direction.
***Spoiler : I noticed my friend's date got eyes for me and she was making advances all through the shoppings we did at the Mall***
On getting to the Dine-In restaurant, we each took our dates to the table and foods were ordered to the table. I felt uncomfortable eating as we were all discussing but I felt left out of the discussions as I was the odd one out of all four of us - that shouldn't be a shock any longer - cause I figured along the chit chat that my date is a friend to my friend's date *~awkward~*
***Ohhh, lest I forget , the name of my friend is Roberts ; I call him Barf , his date's name is*** *****Camila***** ***while mine is*** *****Rachel***** ***and we are all teenagers. Let my name be a mystery in this article of mine.***
***Y'all are free to guess out my name in the Comments Section and see if you are the Wizard of Oz in disguise *lol****
Camila continued in her stealth advances towards me and I was forced to not give in . It got to a stage where I could not keep up with it any longer and had to call Barf aside to let him know of the situation. He argued and disputed with me in disbelief and and went back to our table disappointed and shocked. Judging from what I had discussed with Barf , his countenance changed at the table and the "Life of the Party" had to be put on my shoulders . I started initiating conversations , telling stories and past events of my own to keep the table lively till Roberts broke his trip to Boresville ( his bored look )
He stood up , came besides me and then hugged me followed by the laughter accompanied with claps from each of our dates . Then my brain clicked and asked " Was this a test ? " . Roberts later told all what has been planned between himself ,Camila and Rachel that he wanted to test my level of sincerity. I was laughing all through as he talked and asked him of what if I had offered to bring my date along myself and with a firm reply from him , he said ***"This would have been a normal date then".*** We all laughed at the end and had a nice wonderful eat ; I enjoyed the Pasta served at the Dine-In . We each took our dates home and from then on , I and Rachel became an item which was a good thing because she is the best girl a man can ask for .
I was happy I didn't give in to the advances from Camila as it was a trap and could have ended my friendship with Roberts while also dragging my not-yet-assumed relationship with Rachel down the drain .
Thanks for reading and for your time .
The Triangular Life
***The Triangular Life***
You might be wondering what the triangular life is all about ? Or who it pertains to ? Or what it refers to ? Well , all those answers would be answered. The triangular life in this aspect can be related to any circumstance ; it is a periodic triangular life of an individual consisting of three actions which may be unique to the particular individual or influenced by a certain factor .
**To Students**
A student in search of knowledge leaving the comfort of his home and family to go a new world of learning has things not as easy as we think it is . We sometimes say change is imminent and dynamic but is it really necessary? Why must it be the individual who adapt and not the system ? A triangular life can be deduced to this lifestyle as an instance of **"going to school"** to **"getting good grades"** to **"getting a good job"** . If we look at this carefully, we see that this is what most students if not all repeat and share on to the others. A disadvantage in the division of labour which is peculiar to all fields is *****monotony***** ; it is a feeling of lack of passiveness or apathy towards a given task or job 'cause it is being repeated by the same individual over and over again. How do we relate this monotony to the triangular life of a student ? A student whose aim and actions are a periodic repetitions would get tired and no longer feel the need to pursue any longer .
***To workers***
A staff in a company also exhibits the triangular lifestyle; most workers whether working in a place of good pay or not revolve round a mental cycle of getting to work early to pleasing the Boss and getting a good job done to receiving their pay at the end of the month. A lifestyle of this manner tires out the worker also but certain rules and commands has to be obeyed .
A triangular life also has its benefits as so its disadvantages .;
It benefits includes
[ ] An individual can be predictable
[ ] No workload is upon the individual
[ ] No time is wasted upon irrelevant chores and side hustles
[ ] A stress free and rigorous life is avoided .
As we do say , there is nothing which has an advantage advantage that doesnt have a disadvantage... A triangular life also has loopholes dangerous to the individuals lifestyle such as
[ ] Monotony
[ ] A sense of responsibility is created within
[ ] Apathy towards said chores
**HOW CAN A NEGATIVE TRIANGULAR LIFE BE AVOIDED**
A translated adage in the Yoruba tribe says " there is no smoke without a fire " simply put all behaviours or actions has a causal or catalysing agent . A triangular life can be put into plan by a person's determination to achieve a said goal or to meet a set expectation . To be mindful and time conscious or determined isn't a crime or a bad way to start a day , it is how it is placed in the priority table or how it it handled that matters . Different activities should be juggled in between the preset determined triangular lifestyle to balance and supplement each other . A triangular life of going to the gym to eating good food to resting well can be juggled with other activities such as going the park , hanging out with friends and so on .
The triangular life is just one of many behavioural pattern individuals exhibit in order to keep themselves in check and in tune with the society.
In a way or the other, we all have a triangular life in which we are all exhibiting either a negative one or a positive one . We should try as much as possible to balance them out and supplement them with other chores and activities that also aid in that direction.

My World Of Diodes And Circuit Booards - 2
Continuing from my most recent post about my obsession into the world of circuits, i made mention about my embarked journey into wireless transmissions which was an edge and an advantage in my assumed resumé of life as an Electronics Engineer ; that sounded cocky and chicky right , yeah it is but it also isn't 'cause I major in Engineering in College and my free time DIY knowledge acquired over time in the past really went a long way in helping me out at College both academically and *financially* ****coughs****
***THE JOURNEY INTO WIRELESS TRANSMISSION***
So , I got my parts from the online store afore mentioned which was a really good help to me . I would like recommending it also but I think it is exclusive to my location, I wouldn't mind dropping the link to the site though - jumia.com - Back to me ( yeah , I want all attention on me *lol* ) ; things I bought were , even though I don't remember most of their names - ***HT12D decoder , HT12E encoder , RX Transmitter and receiver , a 3-pin DC voltage regulator*** ( it steps a voltage range of 9V - 12V down to 5V ) , ***Resistors of different values*** (470K , 1M ,330,33k ,75k ) , ***a Breadboard, DPDT Switches for power and Toggle switches for direction, Soldering iron and the stands, indicator LEDs for power and transmission*** and sorts . The list goes on and a sum total of $50 was spent on my expenditure - I was really withheld back then but as I do say , it is a small price to pay for my inquisitiveness. I could boldly take the risk back then because I saw hope and a future in it for myself even though I wasn't going to sell or auction out what I was going to invent/replicate .
Have you ever felt a sensation of joy after discovering something or doing something that makes you proud of yourself ?
Well, I have had a first taste and front row experience of it before and it feels good . When ? you might all ask ; well it was after getting the parts , I started working on my little eye-opening project. I spent sleepless days and nights , sacrificing one chore for the other ; all in all , I achieved my aim and got the Transmitter and the Receiver panels working. A point I also want to bring out is that you dont need to have a skill or talent or major in Engineering before you can dive into the world of Electronics because along the way , I had help in one form or the other from people who have not the slightest clue about circuits/Electronics .
There is so much to be learned in the world of Electronics that would be beneficial to one's self and to the society. Being involved in the world of Electronics doesn't only mean on a large scale factor , it starts from the small and little things such as the power outlets and the rechargeable camp lamps to the likes of bogus and robust understandings like the AI and NASA plots of the landing of spaceships on other terrestrial bodies like Mars and the Moon .
***Disclaimer*** : I didn't ace my prerequisite Engineering subjects and yet I am far better off in physical Engineering skills than those who aced those subjects.
***"" Do you all know what a diode is and it functions ? Feel free to answer me in the Comments Section ""***
My project was a success and a blast . It was also a blessing in disguise; in what sense you might ask ? I have a little brother in the Science Department in High School and his Science week was right around the corner. He isn't such a bright kid ( sorry to say, pardon me for saying that ) and had no idea of what to present as a project. Coincidentally, that was the period of time I commenced and finished my project (it took me a total of 1 week 3 days 18 hours - not so jolly ) ..as you can guess the rest of the story, he took my project as his to school as his own project . I know what you might wanna say , that it was cheating . Technically, it wasn't 'cause I still sat him down and explained the working principles and operations of what he is to defend in school . As you can see , no skill or job done is a waste - you can be another man's source of joy .
So , here I bring to a halt my experience and journey in the world of Electronics. It is a blessing to all and a must have skill-set as the world is going digital.
Thanks for reading and for your time 😊😊.
Realistically Realistic Reality #The Ideal Prompt
I grew up in a not-so graceful environ with history of loads of preceeding fails contributed by both the Government and individual actions. If I could remember as vividly as I was ill lucked to be amongst, I had always wanted to change my situation with just imaginations and thoughts. I would just want to sit and map out an ideal life for myself which is just to come to reality ,if given the power , by the snap of my fingers .
What more to ask , the Ideal Life as you might say - all my wishes and thoughts are never greedy nor far-fetched yet imaginable but feasibly unattainable.
***THE IDEAL THOUGHT***
I really love learning and going to the school - simply put , I love the Educational system . My ideal life would have to begin from my child hood ;
- Waking up early on a Monday morning to go to school , uniforms all already iron-pressed by Mom with the breakfast set up on the dinning table and my lunch for school packed smug . All I would have to do is brush my teeth and have my bath , looking all tangy and crispy to go to school . On getting there , I would be welcomed by my school-mates saying they missed me over the weekends ... we would hustle and bustle all through the day playing, share each other lunch , get into troubles with the teachers till we will eventually close for the day at school. Continue in manners like this freely and without aftermaths , graduate with a good grade to get into one of the best private High School which would be **OSHBOUG MODERN SECONDARY SCHOOL** popularly known as O.M.S.S . Meeting new friends who would change my lives and prolly fully convert my semi-introvertic lifestyle to a full blown YOLO .. To be the smartest student in the class , bagging grades that spells out AAAAAAAAA like the sound we make when the Dentist tells us to open our mouth out wide . Having the hottest girl , Eunice in High School then as my girlfriend btw she was really hot and classy... she was every guy dream girl . It wouldn't hurt to have her all to myself cause she was all I could think of then in terms of satisfying my sexual desires and peer pressure of having a relationship.
My life to get into College immediately after High School has always been on my mind as far as I can remember . I mentioned me loving studies and going to school - tbh , it sounds weird to others 'cause hey , why choose the hard way when you can just waltz through life . How ? You might also ask , well I fantasised myself to be in a pretty well above average household whose path are all what they say is to be and not what life has to offer to them. College life are being said to be as tasking as it should be but I don't have to go through that or do I? Nope ! It should be a fun filled experience with me being exposed to the world at the fullest and having probably the best of knowledge from tested and trusted Professors in different disciplines with different majors . Graduate out of College , get a good job ( it sounds measly and odd , right - Yeah yeah, but I really do want to work in an office but WITH A GOOD PAY THOUGH ) , live life comfortably , have fleets of desired cars and own a house of my own, get married to a beautiful woman and have kids - a boy and a girl.
To just be a simple man who have all the things he needs at his disposal and without stress , to be a man who helps others from his own abundance and surpluses. That is my ideal life .
Thank you all for reading and for your time 😊.
My World Of Diodes And Circuit Booards
I have always loved and had an early flare for Electronics and Electronics-related setups ; it was a world that I am always drown into and desire joy in . I had pre-met mentors in the field also who inspired me with their achievements and progressive state . I never learnt the skill from anybody from the start, I grew up knowing that I could connect conducting wires to batteries and a resistive load to form a working circuit and will be left amazed to a running motor connected to a battery also.
So , I wanted to learn more and delve deep into the mysteries of circuits 'cause hey , who doesnt want to learn more ? - I then started researching on my own and jotting down the terms involved in Circuitry. I started with accessories of just a 9V battery, DC motor , jumper wires , switches, Light Emitting Diodes ( LEDs ) , resistors and sorts . I then learnt that there was more involved to the world of circuits than just an LED connected to a battery and left to lit up by itself ; I saw I could cause the LED to flicker at intervals set by me or dim/brighten the LED at will - i call the ***Exp 1 .*** When I first tried this out ***( Exp 1 )*** with assistance from a ***555 timer, capacitors and resistors*** - my mind was literally blown away and I couldn't contain the joy ... I had to call my friends round and show them what I had done ; they were also amazed and applauded and sang praises to me 'cause we only see "flickering lights/LEDs" on Christmas trees and decorated places for events and our thoughts then were that the science and technology behind them were on a huge scale to be tackled only by big manufacturing companies .
This would bring me to my most ground breaking self-embarked project which is still the Lilly of my Valley - simply interpreted as the most cherished in my embarked circuitry journey . I dived into the world of IC chips, wireless transmissions and circuit panels - I made a RC modelled car even though it was short-ranged with a range of transmission of 2 ft .
***THE JOURNEY INTO WIRELESS TRANSMISSION***
I didn't just decide to jump into this all of sudden or out of the blues - Necessity is the mother of invention as they do say . Even though I am still a novice in this new profound journey , I already had some pre-laid basics . I made a small sized modelled car which only moves in the set direction after being switched on ( I attached a switch to the back of the modelled car ) ... it moves on and ahead without having a controller to direct or stop its motion . I then sat down to think that there must be a way for me to start the car , direct it , stop its motion, return it back to my position and more- all to be done remotely.
I went online and made research and knew what I had to do and what I had to get .. I ordered parts from an online store known as Jumia , even though it was expensive on my part.. it was a small price to pay for my inquisitiveness ...
I would continue on my journey in the next post .. thanks for reading and for your time
"The Do's and Don't Of Life" - A Fact Or Placebo ?
Ever wondered if there was a Book of rules to abide in for this reality we live in ? A Book of rules to guide us and illuminate our everyday lives ? A Book of rules to judge us on our everyday doings ? A Book of rules to vindicate or crucify one's doings ? Also ever wondered that if a Book of rules truly existed and one was to follow it to the end leaving no stone un-turned , would all things in life also turn out well for one ?
Well , all these are all assumptions and theories made by one's intuitions in order to lead and guide one so as to not go astray... We all want to know if what we are doing or involving ourselves in is either fruitful/rewarding to us , harmful to us, in-line with a phantom pre-written destiny accompanied to one's èxistence or something else ... Questions abounds and there are little to no answers to satisfy them all
No one on Earth can really say for sure that what he/she is doing is right , wrong , distasteful, pleasing, accepted, rejected or whatsoever yet we all have a subconscious mindset of what is to be done and what is not to be done.
The life we live in or **"*****Reality*****"** as most people would refer it , is based on certain unspoken and untold phantom principles which are being etched onto the back of our minds as soon as we start knowing the Left from the Right , the Good from the Bad , the Needful from the Wasteful and so on ...
**Unspoken principles like ;**
Do good and good will be done also to you
Love your neighbours as you would love yourself
Do no harm to another
Never wish evil to another ...
- The endless list goes on and on and on...
Beliefs and Religious concepts also play an important role in the deciding factors of the Do's and Don't of reality .. Have you ever taken an action before and a thought would occur to you , asking rhetorical questions; questions like ***" Have I done the right thing? , Was this what I am supposed to do ? Am I the person destined to make this decision? "***
We ,as an individual having bare humane mindsets and categorically beneficial instincts would live life as it is without remorse and prejudice . If left to us at will to believe, would we really believe that Life has a phantom handbook and instructions manual ; as funny as that might sound , it is really worth debating over . When left to the Public , is it really a farce or a fact ? Are there truly guidelines to be followed in Life so as to be able to get a desirable outcome?
Like we do say , the Earth is full of mystery so likewise is reality ... the Religious would say God is the All-knowing , the Philosophers would say " What is to be has been made down to be " ..we really can't decide or judge if truly **all actions** are all instantaneous or are part of an already programmed life assigned to us all from the beginning
As the Yoruba tribe in the Western part of the country, Nigeria ( Africa ) would say ***" this Life is a marketplace , the Afterlife is the home "*** meaning that all individuals on this earth are on a temporary assignment and after which we are done , we would all return to the Afterlife as it is our one true home .
So many different beliefs in different caucus about Life and yet , a fraction of the unending questions about Life hasn't been answered .
You can drop comments in the Comments section on your aspects about Life and its phantom instructions manual. Thank you all for reading and God bless ..🙂🙂🙂
What Price To Pay To Make A Difference?
Ever since I was a little boy, I have always asked myself questions over and over again .. questions like " Will I be successful in life ? If yes, how ? If no , why also ? , At what age will I pass away ? At what age will I meet my first lover ?... Countless questions would flood my head countless times and all would be quenched down with just a single-dousing question -" ***WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE ? "***
***TAKING THE RIGHT STEPS AND MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS***
No one knows for sure his/her destination in life or purpose .. we are all just driven by the basic motives of survival which are ***Shelter, Food and Clothings*** . We also get to a stage in life where we want more answers to our un-ending questions and just desire and zeal for answers even when we know they are beyond our reach . Making the right decisions and taking the right steps might seem a bit far fetched because for sure , no one knows which decisions or steps are right .. we all just follow our intuitions and bare mind .
As a little boy I was then, I always yearned to want to make an impact in the world in my field/ area of expertise or in general just as the likes of Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela , Muhammad Ali , Wole Soyinka etc made impacts in their known fields and are being praised for it even till date. Every man/woman hates being a dead weight or a burden, we all want to add value and importance to our lives and the society but are we ready to answer the ever-burning question- ***HOW MUCH CAN YOU SACRIFICE ?***
Truth be told , not all people who want to make an impact are ready to sacrifice or pay the price . Instances follow up and add up to the discussion at hand ; a married woman with kids whose career pursuing job demands her to have little to no attention for her kids , would she have the heart to do so and forfeit her role as a mother to her kids or follow her dreams and stick to the short end of the stick all in the glory and name of finding a green pasture for her soul ( and supposedly her family also ) ... LET THINK ABOUT THAT - we all fall in that category in one way or the other
***LET LIFE TAKE ITS LEAD***
People sometimes criticise and nail to the cross individuals who have apathy towards Religious teachings .... they tell them to put everything into God's hand , that all will be well and settled for those who have faith and believe. Well , I just want to say that I am no opposed to Religious beliefs nor a persecutor of the Religious but will all be really well if we follow suite in that way ?
Sometimes we just have to let life take it toll on us and lead us to the right steps destined for us . Not all things that happens to us should be overlooked or undermined, somethings are prices paid in discrete without us even knowing what had happened ourselves . We must always believe in ourselves and our stories and know that nothing comes easy or free. Prices has to be paid and sacrifices to be made ; we all are destined for greatness at the final destination but the journey and our determination through it is what matters .
Thank you all for reading and look forward to my next article 😊😊
Hi there all .. I am NativeRookie .. I am new to Read.cash and to this community
I have been given hints and rules and guidelines by the moderators and board but I come here to ask my humble friends on this community if you have any advice for me ?
A little insight on how I was converted into the world of Animes
Hello lads , hope you all are having a wonderful day . I just want to share my insights and thoughts on a little haven for my soul : ***ANIME***
I started watching Animes far back but not quite long as compared to some people... I started in 2017 but here is the twist ; I started out of compulsion and wanting to prove someone wrong.
Okay , here is how it went down back then. I had a friend who has been into Anime for as long as I can remember. Anytime I do go to visit him or hold his mobile phone or surf his PC , you can bet all your marbles that I would find one Anime or the other lingering around with tabs of dates on them and scheduled watching list . I do confront him every now and then that what good does he ever see in watching cartoons ;
Yes , I said the "dont-say-word" - CARTOONS and I am really ashamed now that I do call Animes cartoons sometimes back then ( I still apologise till now every time I remember I said that to him back then though )- he would flare up and be mad and tell me never to call Animes cartoons again in front of him and I would be like " Oh -Okay, my friend has finally lost it " but now I understand better of the bond *smiles*
So we had a little bet that he would give me some Animes to watch ( THAT I MUST WATCH ) and that if I loved it , he would be the winner of our long-aged arguement and otherwise also , that if I don't genuinely love it , that he would let me be and stop convincing me of the good and thrills of Anime . We agreed and he gave me : Shingeki no Kyojin ( Attack on Titan ) - Ep 1 to Ep 12 ; all copied to my mobile phone in a flash
I held on to the Anime on my mobile phone and planned to start watching it on a weekend . I believe you all should be able to relate to the aftermath of me watching AOT ; I was blown away literally by such completeness of all genres in an animation like WTF.
Here is a icing on cake : I had to go back and beg my friend for the remaining episodes he had on his PC
to give me . He , of course , mocked me and laughed at me while repeatedly saying the words " DIDN'T I TELL YOU ? " .. till now, I still call him by that exact words and we would both laugh it off . After my exposure and eye opening experience, he told me to go start NARUTO from episode 1 and I think Naruto : The Anime was already in an episode where Shikamaru was given a mission to go eliminate a shinobi who uses Chakra in his voice to manipulate other shinobis ( sorry I couldn't remember the episode ) ...
I would continue on my life -converting experience in my next article . Thank you all for your time and God bless you ...
A Shout Out To A Whole New World 🌎
Hi there all ..... I am NativeRookie by User-Name ... I just recently joined the Cash Program ,as funny as that coined-name might sound
Well, I was on Noise.Cash first then caught air of the Read.cash , both of them by the same organisation I think
I just wanna voice out my part in sense that WOW ... I had never heard of anything related to this before and it really existed somewhere... a place where post-lovers could post and have joy and still get paid ..
So , I tagged this whole "Cash" world as a WHOLE NEW WORLD to me which I really much appreciate and I am blessed to be a part of its family .
Hi there all , I am NativeRookie by name and welcome to my first footprint as a seedling in this NEW WORLD I stumbled upon and I think I should buttress my existence a little bit ..
Well , I am a male in College majoring in Engineering... I actually love writing , no matter how little or irrelevant it is and the other social medias of the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook users e.t.c. don't really fancy such habits ; (Mind you , I am not defaming them) ... they see it as a minor wanting to feel among ; so I bottle my posts , experiences, ideas , visions, etc to myself 'cause they ain't appreciated .
But on seeing platforms like the Noise.Cash and Read.Cash , I felt elated and overfilled with joy ... the notion that I am even able to post things that might seem major to me but minor to others and still get appreciated, accepted and praised is a Win-Win for me ; the cherry on top of it all is that we get paid or tipped ... I am just so happy .
I just don't want to be a earner of this platform, I want to also share and educate people on the little things that I have understanding of that others might not have a clue about ; this life is a little tale of "What goes around , comes around " .. What I do to others , I receive also either good or bad ...
It is once again a pleasure being in a group like this... I am NativeRookie and I love my NEW WORLD
Thanks for your time and accept this as a token of appreciation ...
@NativeRookie
