Jokes Etc / Here Is The Good Side Of Rumour-mongering by minemine: 3:40pm On Oct 25, 2007 |
I have been asking for the views of colleagues and friends on what rumour-mongers do that make them miss social approval. The answers keep on giving the same insight: They take parboiled (half-cooked) info and sweat around sharing it - not caring about having the proof of the truths or lies behind the info they share. Here is the good side of rumour-mongering. The same efforts used to share rumours are adaptable to share, with other people, opportunities as information or information as opportunities. Only that it requires the effort for confirming the facts and timeliness of the info. You are an opportunity-monger rather the rumour-monger, I suppose. To meet other opportunity-mongers and opportunities-seekers, please go to www.infopportunities.com There opportunity info are tapped or shared. Be an OPPORTUNITY-MONGER for ever!!! Share an opportunity with your fellow today!!! |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Want To Work At Ecowas Headquarters In Abuja? Check This Up by minemine: 4:22pm On Oct 15, 2007 |
My research showed that UA means UNIT OF ACCOUNT The following clarifies it further: As at 30 November 2006, 1 Unit of Account (currency unit of the African Development Bank which is the equivalent of the IMF Special Drawing Rights) = 1.48004 dollar = 1.16575 Euro. Don't forget that exchange rates are not static. As an instance of this, by December ending last year, 1 UA = € 1.14; 1 UA = 1.50 USD. I wish you the best. |

Business / Re: Business Idea Needs Help: Summer Camp For Kids by minemine: 11:23am On Jul 13, 2007 |
Don't forget to add science-based 'funs' [e.g. getting a cooked egg in a bottle or lesser tasks]. This type of things teach the kids more about the basics of general science - especially when you clearly share the principles that make such possible. I've once been involved in the performance of science-based 'funs' and paper crafts for children. Quite pleasing, but getting many kids in order demands a lot, Your personal interest in them and in what you do with them matter as these will turn all what you may see as 'work' to 'play'. I think your googling on relevant ideas will also be of considerable help to you. Just organise yourself with interested team members and make up timely publicity. Of course, you will be dazed of the outcome. The kids will want to come next year if you meet their expectations and those of their parents; though you may not hit all expectations 100%. I wish you your best. |

It's fine you're already into graphic designining. For low cost distribution of your proposed mag (whether 2pg or more), you need to learn about commercial colour printing. If you know about mirroring in Corel Draw, then you are only left with how to contract your work out with lithographists and printers. It easy doing this. More help at hand for you on this via your email please. |
Career / Re: Secretaries (Or Personal Assistants) On Nairaland by minemine: 6:54pm On Nov 25, 2006 |
I felt good coming across this post. I have had a total of about 10 years working initially as a Typist in a Federal institution and later as a PA. Your pieces ignited me to value our field the more - even though I am out of the field now. Your first post is a snap-shot of the challenges I faced but which I was able to ride upon squarely. I wouldn't know whether my being a male Secretary then has helped me at all. That is just my 'hi' to you all. To all Secs in the house, check around you always the infopportunities that abound now for your future career. Are Secretary of today being asked of 120wpm and 50wpm like we faced then? asdf, :lkj Yours inforpportuniti[b]Master[/b] |

Website: www.elkraft.chalmers.se/IMP ________________________________________________________________________ 39. Masters and PhD Scholarships, Catholic Academic Exchange Service (KAAD) The Catholic Academic Exchange Service (KAAD) is a scholarship organization of the German Catholic Church that provides financial and civic educational support for high potential postgraduate scholars from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Our priority area is scholarships for Ph.D.-studies. Ph.D.-scholars register at a German University, although their field research can be conducted in Africa. Ph.D.-scholarships are granted for up to 3,5 years (including 6 months German language training) and for all subjects. KAAD provides support for individuals, i.e. usually scholars cannot be accompanied by their families. Applications for Master-programs in Germany will be considered primarily for candidates whose professional experience and objectives reveal that a Masters-degree, and not a Ph.D., is the final goal of their higher education ('terminal Master'). If someone changes his/her mind after the Master-program and wishes to apply for a Ph.D.-scholarship, he/she must obtain an additional three years of relevant work experience in Africa first. Rare exceptions from this rule may be allowed for female candidates. For available Master courses in Germany please check: www.daad.de/deutschland/studium/idp/04709.en.html (don't specify 'language'). After selecting the program(s) you should contact the course coordinator and apply for (at least provisional) admission. Applications at Masters level may also be considered for programs in Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe ('in-country scholarships'). Scholars who pursued Master-studies in one of these partner countries under a KAAD scholarship are entitled to compete for a Ph.D.-scholarship for Germany at any time after their Master's degree ('second scholarships'). Eligibility 1. Significant social and religious commitment: A clear preference is given to catholic (or Ethiopian orthodox) applicants. The ideal candidate should be creative, with a distinguished personal integrity and leadership qualities. 2. Academic excellence: A university degree (Bachelor, Master) with very good results (minimum: '2nd class upper' with an average grade of B or above, 'bien', CGPA of 3.2/4.0, or equivalent results). 3. Upper age limits for Master's level and doctorates are 32 and 35 years, respectively. In case you meet these eligibility criteria you may contact KAAD by answering the following questions or send us the questionnaire. Question number 7 refers to previous degrees. Candidates are requested to indicate the total number of each grade in their academic transcripts (for example: "I have a B.Sc. with 2nd class upper comprising 10 A, 15 B, 5 C, 1 D, and an M.Sc. with 1 A, 5 B, and 1 C". Please note that detailed information on activities in church organizations, social commitment, etc. is required for the final question. Applicants who don't receive a reply from KAAD within 8 weeks have not been shortlisted for the next step of the preselection. Only inquiries containing the information asked for in the Catholic Academic Exchange Service website can be answered.

Business / Re: Can The Distribution And Sale Of Used Books And Novels Thrive In Nigeria? by minemine: 2:32pm On Sep 04, 2006 |
I picked up the idea of selling imported fairly used book from what I saw under the bridge in Ikeja. From experience, doing this is profitable especially when you have the opportunity of selling at a central business place or close to higher institutions. The genre you choose will also determine how big and fast you make profits. ICT and personal development stuffs do make it well. When I started I chose my own prices and attracted people with the banner inscription that says "Imported Books, Magazines and Tapes Selling Fast Here at Half Price". Even, the dollar labels on the books were tools I used to extra-ordinarily sell. I added some other 'tricks' for people to buy. My advice: Just start small. If you are interested in getting to know how I probed to have necessary insider information of the business or in knowing where to source your books, magazines, novels and audio/video tapes in Lagos, do not hestitate to contact me. I will also share with you some uncommon ways to sell to students on campuses. 1 Like 1 Share |
