It Could Have Been The Worst



 There was one christian from ikot abasi, who was fond saying this word "i thank God it may be that the worse could have happened;" so it happened that one day, his brother's first son dided while still in standard six. The man went and consoled his younger brother. He told him to weep no more, that it might be that the worse could have happened. So, the brother took offence because by this time, the son of the elder was studying overseas. The next year, the boy graduated, and wrote that he was coming back home, when he arrived at portharcourt, quite a number of cars have gone to escort him. Many people were busy at home preparing for the boy's arrival.
        The boy's father went to the younger brother who lost his first son the previous year, and said to him "now my son is coming back, please take good care of him; what he would ear and what he would drink". The brother accepted. But as they were coming from portharcourt, on reaching opobo junction, coming in from Aba only the car that conveyed the boy had an accident. He was rushed to general hospital in Aba. Others rushed home to the father to stop preparing because the boy had an accident at Aba. The father of the boy came out and asked whether he was dead, and they told him no, but he was seriously wounded. The father said, "Thank God it may be that the worse could have happened". He did not know that his younger brother had poisoned the food prepared for the son, because he was in charge of his food for that day. He did this to find out what could have been worse thing that could happen to man who has lost his first son to death. Now, when he heard the brother saying the same thing that he had said when his first son died, he went and confessed to his brother that he had planned to kill his first son because he was offended at his consolatory words when he lost his first son. "I never knew it will be true, he said, because if there was no accident involving the boy, "I could have poisoned him, which could have been the worse, and now you say the same to yourself, please forgive me".

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

Referees add more extra time when the big teams are losing

the facts which shows how football referees add more time when big teams are losing soccer (football) fans suspected it, however now facts is confirming it. After analysing all the suits of the Spanish league "la Liga" from the 2014-2015 season,  specialists in sports technology have observed that the extra the difference on the scoreboard, the less stoppage time is delivered to the stop of the game. when the rating is tighter, however, referees have a tendency to feature extra stoppage time when the crew within the better department is losing. The stoppage time brought by way of the referee following the compulsory ninety mins of a football suit is used to compensate for time misplaced because of substitutions, accidents, expulsions and other incidents that stand up at some stage in the sport, but it seems as although different elements additionally play a position in step with a brand new look at. Researchers Carlos Lago, from the university of Vigo (Spain), and Maite Gó...

MIT scientists makes use of terahertz waves to read closed books

 some Scientists, have invented a new technology that can read the pages of a closed book, an advance that may help archaeologists look into antique books without touching them. Researchers, including Ramesh Raskar from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S, tested a prototype of the system on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. “The Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch,” said Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at MIT. He said that the system could be used to analyse any materials organised in thin layers, such as coatings on machine parts or pharmaceuticals. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology developed the algorithms that acquire images from individual sheets in stacks of paper, and interprets the o...
