6 DEADLY MISTAKES TO AVOID IN THE EXAM HALL

“I did the examination very well but still failed” . Have you ever been guilty of this statement? If yes, then you must read this article to the end. You might have written the examination perfectly but you have failed to take note of some mistakes that cost you lots of mark. This is one of the reasons why students fail examinations. What are these costly mistakes you need to avoid during examination?, see them below.

#1. READING THE WRONG QUESTION 
There is no way you can give the correct answer to the wrong question. What do I mean by this? Take a look at some of the questions that involves the word “NOT”. You might be asked, “Which of the following is not a verb?” and you are provided with the options (a) Read (b) Book (c) Jump (d) Write. A lot of student will choose option A immediately without checking other options. Why? Because they thought the question was “Which of the following is a verb?”. I was once a victim of this occurrence. I discovered it is due to fear or being in a rush while reading the question. You can read my article on “6 Sure Ways To Overcome Examination Fear”.

What to do: Read each question carefully at least twice and make sure you understand it.

#2. ANSWERING QUESTIONS OUTGOING OF POINT
Students fail examination because they have failed to answer questions within the required course. Some students want to explain more than required. As a result, they write out of point. You might think you will bag some bonus marks by including additional explanation but end up scoring very low. Do not misquote! It is not a bad idea giving additional information in your answers but ensure you do not write out of point . You might be writing something meaningful but does not fit into the question asked. While some markers like this, most don’t . Since you don’t know the type of person that will mark your examination, the best thing to do is to avoid it.

What to do: Don’t write unnecessary information unless it is within the course of the question. Ensure you write answers that suits the questions asked.

#3. ATTEMPTING DIFFICULT QUESTIONS FIRST
Another costly mistake students make is leaving simple questions untouched and attempting difficult ones first. This is a very bad idea that you should not even think of. You might be thinking
“Why shouldn’t I solve harder ones when my brain is not stressed and come back to the easier ones?”. Take a look at some of the reasons why you should not do it below.
-It wastes your time.
-If you solve easier ones first and you are at least sure of getting them right, it keeps your body motivated and improve your brain function to solve difficult ones.
-If you solve difficult ones first and you don’t get them, you become frustrated that you won’t be able to solve even the so-called easier ones.
-Ask yourself, what is the probability of getting the difficult questions right when eventually you don’t have time to solve simpler questions.

Have you now seen the reason why you should not solve difficult questions first and the negative effects of doing so?

What to do : Solve easier questions first. It will help you to bag enough marks and save time to come back to difficult ones.

#4. LACK OF PROPER TIME PLANNING
Time planning is another factor you must consider during examinations. Take a look at the JAMB that was just concluded where candidates are given 120minutes to solve 180 questions. This means that candidates have two-third minute(40seconds) to solve each question. Depending on the subject, you might decide to use 60seconds for calculation-based subjects like Physics and Mathematics and 20-30seconds for theory-based subjects. As the case might be, lack of time planning is another common mistake students are found guilty of. Students use more that the proposed time for each question. As a result, they waste their time only to be left without a lot of question with with little time to solve them. This which I won’t want you to fall victim of is what you must consider.

What to do : Do proper research on the number of question and amount of time that will be given. Plan your time and don’t use more than the proposed time on each question. If you discover you are wasting too much time on a question, move on to the next question. You must ensure you come back to it when you are through with other questions.

#5. YOU FAILED TO CROSS-CHECK
No man is born mistake-free. Students are liable to make mistakes during examination. The real mistake however is when student fail to correct their mistakes. Have you ever written an examination that you felt you should cross-check and something tells you you don’t need to?. This might be because you are in a rush or you want to do something after the examination. Don’t make this mistake!

What to do : Ensure you cross-check your answers to see if there is any mistakes.

NOTE : Don’t be in a rush while cross-checking, take your time!.

#6. NOT HEEDING INSTRUCTIONS 
Students also make the the mistake of neglecting instruction during examination. You might think examiners don’t take it serious, but yes they do!. Each instruction given to you in the examination hall determines whether you pass or not.
What to do: Always heed instructions. Don’t start when you are not told to, if you are told to answer 4 questions, don’t attempt 5questions.

HOW A POOR STUDENT CAN MAKE GOOD GRADES

How does a poor student get excellent grades in the system? I will be talking from my own experiences at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, where I emerged the second best graduating student without buying a single textbook throughout the four-year duration of my degree.

Whether we believe it or not, it is an unarguable fact that access to finance goes a long way in determining a student’s academic performance while in the university system.

Now, it is also true that some students have failed to justify the huge financial investments their parents have made in their education, effectively throwing resources down the drain. Similarly, some students have beat the odds to emerge academic gladiators with little or no resources at their disposal.

Yes, some students ride latest cars, wear expensive clothes and accessories, eat the best restaurants but still end up with poorer grades than those who have only a pair of worn-out clothes, eat 1-0-1 or worse.

Still, the bottom line is that the average student will do better with access to resources. A student with a full stomach, who is well dressed and can afford the necessary textbooks and study materials is already set up to perform well. Students will no financial backing often have to depend on magnanimous friends to settle assignment costs, scrounge roommates’ pots and die in the library to use antiquated books.

A poor student is not judged on a different scale from a rich student, meaning he or she starts at a disadvantage and is expected to emerge with something worth celebrating out of that situation.

So, how does a poor student survive the system? I will be talking from my own experiences at the Ahmadu Bello University(ABU), Zaria, where I emerged the second best graduating student, with 2 Class Upper Division, in my department without buying a single textbook throughout the four-year duration of my degree.

You too can achieve it with these 9 tips:

Never miss lectures – one habit you must never cultivate in the university is missing lectures. Even if you study at a university where the lecturers don’t grade your for attendance, you’ll miss a lot by not being present when your lectures explains topics and your course mates contribute to the discussions. You also stand the risk of missing out on ‘shot-guns’, sudden tests that could ruin your chances of a good grade in a course. At least you won’t have to beg and bribe any lecturer.

Always take notes – many students stay in class and refuse to take lecture notes for reasons best known to them. Even if you are not fast enough to get everything, jot down the key points of every lecture and build on them later. Interestingly, lectures often say what they expect in the exams during their classes. These notes can save you the need to photocopy/type handouts and textbooks.

Google and Wikipedia are your friends – even if you don’t have money for textbooks, there are a billion academic resources available online. Simply knowing how to use Wikipedia and Google will give you access to a gazillions of academic material. Cultivate the habit of Googling the parts of a lecture you don’t understand, immediately after the lecture is over.  As you read online, make further notes under what you got from the lecture.

Always participate/head group assignment projects – when you are given group assignments, always try to be active and if possible, head the groups. First of all, you will most likely not have to pay and secondly you gain more knowledge than the passive participants and this may come in handy in the exams.

Join/create study groups – study groups are very important because they help you to rub minds with your peers, learn in a relaxed environment and test your knowledge before the exams in an informal, relaxed setting. You can learn a lot from your colleagues.

Have a specific reading time and stick to it – it would be good if you can give yourself a reading timetable and stick to it. It will be tough at first, but the habit will stick if you struggle to maintain it and you’ll be glad you did. Find out the time (and conditions) you think you best assimilate and make it your study time. Personally, I like reading outside, in open spaces at night.

Exploit library off-peak periods – many times we find the libraries overcrowded or the books we need already borrowed. To avoid this, try to use the library at times when you know others will not be available. One of these times is in the afternoons when most of them will be sleeping, planning to come in the evenings. This will make the books available for you.

Buy your provisions in bulk as semesters start – this may sound funny, but you need to ensure that food is never a problem for you because a hungry stomach will prevent the brain from assimilating anything. As soon as you arrive from the holidays, stock a lot of non-perishable items, especially if you are allowed to cook in your hostels. It is cheaper to buy in bulk when you still have some money on you than to spend in bits.

Create time for school, God, love and fun– a clear mind is important to your success in school. This is why you need to make sure you find time to relax your mind from school stress, interact with other students and God. Though a sexual relationship is not advised, having a working relationship with someone intimate (platonic or otherwise) often works positively.

In addition to the above, you might want to consider learning a trade which can fetch you a little income while in the campus.

What matters is your will to excel, not how much resources you have at your disposal.

One day, the struggles will be history and some of those who are privilege now may be coming to you for employment

THINGS THAT CAN FETCH YOU FUNDS IN CAMPUS

There are many productive things you can do with your free time when you’re not doing school work. These are some of them.

Sometimes, doing business in school doesn’t just earn you extra cash, it also instills a sense of responsibility in you. So no matter your motive, where it is to earn extra cash and fend for yourself, or it is for sport, or it is just your own training for post-school life, here are a few businesses you can start with little capital and scale up on:

1. Hairdressing:



 If your hair making skills are tight, and you can convince 5 friends to tell everyone to come make hair with you, you’re in business.

 2. Graphics Design:



This is probably one of the most sought after freelance job at the moment. Whether it is a simple poster, to designing for a big project, it’s possible to juggle it on the side.

 3. Programming:



 Everyone is building something. Many small Internet companies are always looking for developers to help them build everything from a website to software.

4. Writing and Research:

If you know how to dig, research and get the work done, then there’ll always be someone willing to pay you to help them with their project work or essay, or research paper. Your win.

5. MC’ing:

This is AY. He started off MC’ing in Delta State University, his school.

                                                                                             AY Makun

If you’re funny enough, can speak in front of a crowd, and genuinely believe you’re not as boring as your Vice Chancellor, with some practice, you can earn money MC’ing at events. People do it for a living.

 6. Event Planning:

 Makeup: Start with your friends, the people they know will see it, and if you’re really good at it, someone will be willing to pay.

 7. Artist:



How are your painting, or doodling, or drawing skills? There’s a growing movement of young, middle class people who are beginning to appreciate art more. You might want to find them, and make them pay for your art.

8. Modelling:

Linda Ikeji, for example, started out modelling at the University of Lagos.

Ah. You know the drill. Start with small gigs. Small gigs will eventually lead to big ones.

 9. Social Media management:

Small businesses are always looking for people to help them manage their social media presence, so if you seem to have Social Media in your palms, you can also find a way to get that money in your palms too. No course in school can teach you this.

 10. Promoter:

Are you popular, resourceful, and convincing? People will be willing to pay you money to bring students in your school to an event.

11. Voice over:

You know that famous “Gulder The Ultimate” voice in the ad or the “We know it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it” in that Fidelity bank ad? That’s Femi Sowoolu, and he makes a good living doing voice overs, amongst other things of course.



Besides your boyfriend or girlfriend of course, do people generally think you have a great voice with even greater diction? If you do, then you might want to research people on how to be a narrator and voice-over person.

12. Barbing:



Dude, if you can barb, and your friends aren’t willing to pay you to barb their heads, are they really your friends?

13. Baking:



Mama taught you how to bake. You better learn how to make money with it. Like, someone is celebrating something every week in school. You can be the person they come to for all your cake problems.

14. Photography:

You know this guy?



His name is Bayo Omoboriowo. He’s the President’s personal photographer. He started off while he was in University. When do you intend to start?

15. Tailoring:



Everyone needs dresses for the next Owambe, they need a tailor, you have the skills. What are you waiting for?

Remember, there’s nothing shameful about trying to make money legally. If your friends laugh at you, then maybe you need new friends. There’s no dishonour in making money, as long as it’s legal.

All the best !!!

STUDY TIPS

In some parts of the world, it’s a time of year when both teachers and students are thinking about exam preparation. Even the most relaxed students decide it’s time to study hard, and teachers are often focusing on revision in lessons. Here are a few of my favourite strategies for helping students to revise effectively.

Focus on what you know

At the beginning of my teaching career I was told that the majority of exam answers contain fairly similar information, and that it was often how well students made use of that information that determined their mark. It’s very easy for students to focus on learning ‘lots of stuff’ and ignore how well they apply what they know. One technique which works very well is to set up a card game, which you can play with the whole class or in small groups. One pile of cards contains various facts and figures about a topic (this could also include quotations in relevant subjects). The other pile contains possible questions. The students have to decide how they would make the fact fit into their answer to a question. This encourages them to think creatively, has an element of challenge, and trains them in an important aspect of exam technique. This works best for open response questions because students have more freedom to choose wisely.

Interrogate the questions

Students need to get into the habit of carefully interrogating a question. That way, they can be certain they’ve read it correctly, and they can also think quickly about what material they need to cover. This will help in the exam itself but it’s also great preparation as it helps students to understand which areas they need to revise in more depth.

One way of doing this effectively is to use the ‘pen of power’ approach. You can model this by writing an exam question on the board (or displaying it on an electronic whiteboard). Ask your students to say what they think the key words are, and why. Underline them and write down brief explanations. You can also ask them to suggest key topics and approaches for the questions. Write this up too, in a different colour.

Students can also do this by themselves. A short version of the exercise is a good way to approach questions in an exam as well. My older students used to find this very helpful, and would often request it as a class revision task.

Know your facts!

Helping students to find active ways of remembering key factual information is really important. Two strategies I found especially helpful were:

Make up factual-recall tests.Students can do this on paper or use one of the many free online quiz generators or apps. If you have a virtual learning environment (VLE), most of these also include quiz generators. They can use the quizzes themselves and share them around. I remember once a student saying to me, ‘but if I write the quiz, I’ll know the answers.’ To which my response was, ‘exactly’.Play ‘I have…who has…?’ This is a quiz exercise with a twist. Students have cards which include a question and the answer to someone else’s question. The first student starts by asking a question, and then the student with the answer reads their answer out, and then asks their question, which another student has on their card. Eventually, all students will have answered and asked a question. The last person to answer will be the first student to ask the question. This works equally well with factual information and vocabulary, and older students might also enjoy designing their own cards.

Use past and specimen papers

Opening the exam paper is always going to be a nerve-wracking moment, but as teachers, we can help students to feel more confident.

Make sure that the students are really familiar with the style of the exam papers, and that their revision includes a lot of practice. If you are making up practice questions, try to make them look as close to the ‘real thing’ as possible. Help students to think about roughly how long they should be spending on each question. Where there is a choice, help them with tactics for choosing the right question to answer. (So many students choose a question on the basis of an opening 5 mark question, not spotting that they really don’t know the material for the 15 mark question that follows it.) If you have time, give students the chance to do extra practice questions for you to mark.

Be reflective about what works already

Students are all different and it is right that we frequently challenge them to think about how they can improve their revision strategies. What worked for them atCambridge IGCSE might not work for them at Cambridge International A Level, for example. However, as teachers we must be careful not to suggest that one method of revision works for everyone. Encourage students to think about what works for them, and what they could improve on.

Practice using special consideration

Many students have special consideration for exams. For instance, some dyslexic students have extra time. If they are entitled to this, make sure they are using this in their practice work too. Talk with them about how best to use their special consideration in the exam. For instance, if they are entitled to extra time, will they spread this out between questions, or will they take longer at the beginning to read through the paper and consider their answers? There’s no right or wrong answer to this – they need to think about what best meets their needs. Your advice will be really important in helping them to think it through.

Start planning for next year

Now is a good time to lay the foundations for your students who won’t be doing exams until later in the year or next year. Are their notes up to date and ready to revise from? Are you introducing them to good strategies in plenty of time? Are they experimenting now with different techniques so that they can see what works for them? Consider setting some practice questions or factual recall tests to give them some revision practice. Review Assessment for Learning and metacognitive techniques that you can apply now, so that you know more about your students, and they know more about how to learn more effectivel

MMM Nigeria - IDEOLOGY

The modern world is bad. It is inhumane, unfair and unjust. This is the world of money. It is not for people. It is for those who who produce this money, for bankers and financiers, government and millionaires. And people are mere "pawns" in this game. They just serve them as attendants.

Why do bankers work less and earn a hundred times more?

What lies behind the social welfare? Labor. But why do bankers live a hundred times better than common people who really work hard? Do the bankers work harder? Definitely they don't! In addition they do not even produce any material values, as opposed to the workers. Why then the difference in income is so enormous?

Many wonder with all sincerity now, reading this: "Well... a banker and a worker, they cannot be compared! The banker-the head of the Bank, he has power over money, and is well-connected. And we are ordinary people, having no power or clout. Naturally, the banker lives better than we do.

Meanwhile, there is nothing "natural" here. The point is that everyone got used to this state of affairs and takes it as a matter of course. People believe that this is the way of the world, that a banker has to live better and it cannot be otherwise. But in reality things are different and the situation can be changed!!

But yet, why? Why does the banker work less, but live better? Better than a factory worker, miner, oil rigger, or woodcutter? Because the banker has always got money. Exactly! It's all about money! MONEY! This is the whole point, the cornerstone! And about it, we should talk in more details.

If money is a measure of labour, why is the world unjust?

So, what is money? Have you ever thought about it? May be it is a calculation tool or a measure of labor? As we are told from childhood, we have to work, work and work, because money won’t fall down from the sky. It should be honestly and hardly earned! Everyone was led to believe it from the cradle . It's interesting, what would billionaires say to that, who honestly and hardly earned all their billions. It's ridiculous, isn't it?

Well, we work without cease. But what should we expect in the end? Low wages and pensions, and no rest, but a constant struggle with debts. And half-starved old age... You have spent all your life, working for billionaires, you have been taken away all your power, energy and health, you’ve been squeezed like a lemon, and after that you’ve been just thrown into the dustbin as a write-off.

Is it right? But that's the world. This horrific reality of the modern society. This is what we should all expect in the end almost certainly; everything ends up in this way for the vast majority of people in today's world. As it ended up for their mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers ... As it will end up, in the present state of affairs, for their children and grandchildren ... great-grandchildren ... Then, in their turn, for their children and grandchildren ... And so on ... That's the way of the world.

Why? All of this is wrong, unfair! It must not exist! Why do some people have everything, but others have nothing? Why do some people walk in golden slippers, but the others barely make ends meet? They don’t know how to feed their children, although all of them “work honestly”. Why does it happen?! Yet we are all the people. We are "equal", aren’t we? Then why?!

Because there is a lie around us. A huge, continuous, monstrous, embellishing lie. Do not believe anything that is broadcasted daily on TV by satiated and well-groomed masters of life.

And people are not equal, and the money is not even a measure of labor. All of this is an insolent and shameless lie. We are surrounded by lie! And still most people trust it all and continue to live in the unfair and unjust world. Why do they cheat you? Just to make it easier to control you.

Is everyone of us equal? It's nonsense!

Imagine yourself as a billionaire now. Or even as an ordinary worthless member of the parliament. Are you equal? In what? You live in a different way, eat in a different way, and rest in a different way. In one day he spends more than you spend for a year! His wife is wearing underclothes more expensive than the whole wardrobe of your wife... He is treated in the best Swiss clinics. And what about you? His children and yours.. Have you compared? Well, where is your "equality"?

Perhaps, you are equal in the rights, aren’t you? Oh, but we forgot about the rights. As it is written in the Constitution of different countries, isn’t it? But let's try to find out, what kind of “equal” rights do we have with oligarchs or bankers? Just a curious!

The right to work? Well, we have such a right. However some really work for peanuts, whereas the others hardly do anything, earning millions and billions. Is it normal?

The right to elect and to be elected? Hmm ... Well, you can elect, of course, you’re welcome. And what about "to be elected"? Here's quite different story. To take part in election campaigns you need a lot of money. And where is it coming from? You will never earn it as a typical worker. Therefore in government there are the people who have extensive financial stock. It's problematic to participate in the elections for an average person and there's no way to win.

In fact, people are not equal in anything. A constantly progressing social inequality — here's the real picture!

So, what is money?

Now we move on to money. Of course, money is not any "measure of labor". These are fairy tales for idiots. Otherwise you would live like a lord. Or maybe you don’t work much enough? Unfortunately, money is just a tool to hold all of us in slavery. We are all slaves. Slaves of money. More precisely, we are slaves of those, who print money. They are our masters.

In fact, nothing has been changed at all during all these centuries on Earth. We have been living so far in the slave-owning system, which has undergone merely external transformations. Everything has become just more civilized and sophisticated. If anciently slaves had real shackles — rusty and steel, then today they are merely invisible, though they still exist. We don’t seem to have them, and can go wherever we want. There are no shackles, we are supposedly free! However, things are different. It is money that is our shackles in the modern world.

In practice none of us is free. "Freedom" is an illusion. Money — that's the point! We are really nothing without money. We need a home, clothes, food and cannot live in a cave and even to go hunting, we need money now. It is necessary to have money everywhere! Because everything around us is just for money. You cannot make a single step without it! But where can we find money? Maybe to earn it?

Have you ever wondered that it is immoral to trade yourself? That it is a kind of prostitution to sell your own strengths, brains, time... What is the difference from the trading your own body? Well, but you will object that people have to work. If everybody would stop doing his job, what’s going to happen then?! We will resettle in cave again, won’t we?

That’s ridiculous. The same "convincing" arguments could be heard for sure in the slave society, when the slaveholders had been trying to make understand their slaves, who, for some reason, didn’t want to work for them, and asked different questions. And later, the same arguments the landlords told their serfs clearly and confidently: "After all, if you stop working, what’s going to happen then?! Our society will collapse! And we will die of hunger!!!"

Yes, it is necessary to work, to create something useful for the society. Otherwise the society will degrade and die. But firstly, we have to work voluntarily, not for a bowl of soup and not only in order to survive; we have to do what we like!

And secondly, while we are on the subject, once it is necessary to work — it is necessary for everyone. All people are equal, aren’t they? So let everybody work. The situation, when some people earn money (in the mines, at the factory, wasting their effort and health!) while others simply print it (sitting back and sipping an exotic cocktail), is abnormal. Such a situation is not acceptable in principle. And there are no "explanations" and excuses to this state of affairs. Absolutely!

Money is just a paper, candy wrappers, which is not backed by anything tangible and, according to that, money is simply printed unrestrictedly, to anyone's heart's content. And then these candy wrappers are distributed among the slaves (among the likes of us) as "wages for labor". When we are given an extra wrapper (our salary is increased) — we are happy. Are you shocked? Alas, that's our bitter reality.

The whole financial world is a pyramid!

How is the financial world organized? It is a pyramid. The Fed the U.S. Federal Reserve System is at the top of it. The Fed creates dollars. How much? As much as they want! Of course, Fed adhere to some of their own internal rules and regulations; they try, for example, not to create too many dollars to prevent complete devaluation of the currency, and etc. But in principle the Fed can create as many dollars as they want. At least, there are no any external limitations for that. Absolutely! The U.S. Fed is guided solely by the reasons of expediency.

The lower levels of this global pyramid are the central banks of different countries; all other local national banks are situated on even lower levels. (Of course, all of this is slightly simplified, but in general everything reflects an overall picture). Actually, why do we need banks? Speaking figuratively, banks play the role of blood vessels in the social organism. Through these vessels the money (blood) from the heart (the Central Bank) enters all its organs. Money (blood) wash these organs, it brings life to them!.. Such an interesting comparison :-))

In which connection dollars are mentioned here? And what relation does the Fed have to us, ordinary people? Basically, the most direct relation! After all, dollar is the global currency. No one Central Bank can print its currency in desirable quantity without permission of the U.S. Fed! It is out of question! By no means! As soon as some country supplied its resources to the USA for a billion dollars (exchanged its actual raw stock for a wagon of colored pieces of paper with the pictures of great American presidents), then it will be allowed to print the local currency in the amount of billion dollars. Now it is permitted, and this is the only way. Otherwise, such a country will be turned out from the IMF, its currency will become inconvertible and so on. In short, the measures will be taken immediately.

And yet, why does a banker live better than a worker? We still have no answer! He prints money, and a worker, for example, builds houses or works in mining industry. It is also very important. Does the banker work harder and give more benefits to the society? Of course not. Then why does he live better?

And one more interesting question in addition. I have been working and working, completing the whole plan, with a clear conscience, daily — from morning to night, for public benefit. As it seems, I have been doing my best. But anyway I can’t pay off the loans. And all my friends are in the same situation. Is it normal? It is obviously wrong and unfair! This is eternal credit bondage. Why do we always owe money to anyone? Why are we all-time bank debtors?!

In short, they make fools of the common people. As usual — nothing new. The rich take advantage of the fact that we, simple hard workers, don’t have time to figure out all these tricky schemes, we have to feed our families. That’s why they take advantage of this situation.

How do banks deceive people?

Let's figure out quietly and without haste. But you have to strain your brains. It's not easy to unravel in a couple of minutes those things which have been tangled during the centuries by the best sophisticated minds of mankind, seeking only wealth accumulation for their personal needs.

Let’s make an example. Let it be a Adam and Steven. And let it be Leonard, a banker of Adam and Steven. They both keep their money in his bank. Adam really wants to buy ….well, let's say, Steven’s bicycle. But he has no money. More precisely, he has money, but not enough — only $10, while Steven wants as much as $100 for his precious bicycle. That is a problem!

What is Adam going to do? He gives Steven his $10 as a deposit and asks not to sell the bike to anyone. He says that he will bring the remaining sum soon. In the meantime he runs to his bank, to the respected Leonard, to get a loan for the missing $90.

As ill luck Leonard has no money at this moment, but he knows perfectly about $10, which Adam gave Steven. And where will Steven bring this money to? That's right, he will put these $10 in his lovely bank, to the same Leonard. Therefore Leonard asks Adam to come back tomorrow. In the hope that tomorrow he will get these $10.

And everything happens in this way. The next day Steven brings $10 to the bank, the bank provides Adam these $10 on credit. Adam immediately gives them Steven, who again puts them in a bank, the bank again provides Adam these $10 on credit, etc. As long as Adam the fool will gather enough money for the bicycle.

So what do we have in the end? Adam finally got the bike from Steven, but at the same time Adam owes $90 to the bank (Leonard), and the bank, in its turn, owes $100 to Steven.

In other words, those $10, which were existed initially, have magically turned into $200 ($190 of debts plus real $10)!

(But these $10 would also turn into a thousand dollars. Even in a million or a billion! If the purchase was more expensive. In that case our $10 would make the increasing number of its cycles, circuits from hands to hands. That's just the procedure!)

So, what happens in today’s world!? It appears that banks also "draw" money without problems?! Not only Fed can produce money, but the banks either! And in fact, these banks multiply money without any control! And we're still wondering, why does the banker live better? Is it clear now, why? The one, who produces the money, of course, lives better!

But this is not enough! From this moment poor Adam will never be able to repay his debts owed to the bank! No matter how hard he would work. Now he is in slavery to the bank, in credit bondage forever. Because those $90, which he owes to Leonard, do not exist in nature! At all! Sly Leonard made this money out of nothing; he created them out of thin air! Just one click! And $10 turned into $200.

Yes, but you can object reasonably that the bank itself owes $100 to Steven. And it turns out, that bank is in credit bondage to Steven and it won’t be able to repay its debts owed to Steven either. So where is the bank’s profit? What's the trick?

Ha! You ask what the trick is! This trick is in the fact, that bank has a lot of such "Stevens", thousands and millions, and they will never come for their money all at once. If one Steven comes, the bank will return him the money of ten other depositors, that's it. It means that the bank’s debt is neither dangerous nor burdensome. In fact, bank’s debt is virtual, it exists only on the paper or in the computer program. It will never be repaid in reality. Only in case of panic it happens, when frightened "Stevens" suddenly come for their money — all at once! Or maybe you know any other reason why banks go bankrupt from time to time? Here's why. Because there is no enough money for all depositors! There is a 90% of thin air in the bank vaults.

Thus, the bank is OK. It sails before the wind. We don’t need to worry about it. But our Adam has serious problems now. He has to repay all the debts owed in bank! Completely!! Moreover with interests and, possibly, penalties. He will be forced to take new credits in order to repay the old ones. Then again the new loan… and again... and again… endlessly, until his death! And there is no way out of this credit running knot. It does not exist in principle! That's it! Trap has been slammed. Now Adam is a perpetual debtor of the bank. He is a slave. From now on he will work for the bank for years on end... Until he dies. But still he won’t repay the debts. And after his death his children and grandchildren will work for this bank. They all are the future servants of banks. More precisely, they are servants of this inefficient and unfair global financial system, which spawned this ruthless and inhuman mechanism. And this mechanism must be finally destroyed.

A new fair financial system will be established!

Financial Apocalypse! That’s the only thing that can break our financial chains and save us all. Release us finally from the continuous slavery. Everything old will burn in its fire and the new will appear. The Fed will be removed from power and will no longer develop social inequality. The banks as they are now will simply disappear. They will stop robbing the people. In fact the banks do not produce anything useful. What useful can they do? Give credits at plundering interests? As a result all the population is burdened with debts.

Why do the banks get interests for the credit at all? Have you ever thought about it? Usury was always despised by all nations, and now it is legalized. Why? If a person takes a loan in the bank, then not for nothing, but to do something good, to realize some project. But he applies his efforts for the welfare of the society including bankers. Making something useful for all of us. We should encourage such people, making discounts but not collecting from them huge interests!

Nevertheless, modern banks were created for other purposes. They aren’t interested in the society but in their own goals. People aren’t important for them. Modern banks are loyal servants of the Fed, hypocritical agents, misusing the products of labor of common people. The current financial system is merely destructing us. And it will continue attacking us, and then our children and grandchildren. It will get even worse if nothing changes. We will destroy the existing financial system and build new — fair and honest! We have no other choice. We are not slaves. We are people. And we choose freedom!

And this freedom is almost here already. Now, thanks to MMM financial Apocalypse is inevitable. Unavoidable! Since now it’s just the question of time. The seed was dropped. And it would grow. It’s already growing. Right now, at this moment! It will not perish!

What does MMM stand for?

MMM is a Global Mutual Aid Fund, World people's Bank, Financial Social Network — or any definition whatsoever. The point is not in the title. The bottom line is that this is a voluntary informal association of millions and millions of people throughout the Earth, rebelled against the financial slavery, chose to declare war against the Fed and banks. (And to win this war!!) And for this aim they have consolidated their capital — even though there are small amounts, owing to a great number, that is millions of people, it's already the power. Awesome and invincible power, growing every day!

Well how do banks exist? Thanks to bankers? Billionaires? No, due to the same ordinary people who deposit their modest savings there. MMM takes the wind out of banks' sails making people see the reality. Why do the people bring their money to the banks at the exorbitant interests? Because they have no other choice. Banks are monopolists: there is no other place to bring money to. All banks are just the same, and controlled by the FED. They simply destroy ordinary people.

And now we have an alternative — MMM! It’s something close to our hearts! Here people help each other. Today you help and tomorrow you will be helped. It’s the main principle of MMM. Do you really want bankers to buy another limousine or house for your money? You should not become another slave. Better join MMM and your money will help those who really need it! Poor people, retirees, disabled people…Woman with many children. Love thy neighbour! Help him.

It’s a kind of common storage box where people save their money and then take it when needed. The amount you need at the certain moment. (They do not steel but namely take money)!

Actually, people don’t need a lot of money. They need consciousness that they have it. Confidence in tomorrow’s day is what everybody really needs. It is just MMM that gives this confidence! It gives a feeling of partnership, that you aren’t alone! At the difficult moment you will never be abandoned but you will always be helped and supported! MMM is a unit of new society, brighter and better. New world, where there won’t be money. Current money. Where everything will be otherwise… Fair and honest. Where there won’t be any slaves or owners. Where everybody will work for their own pleasure and for the whole society. Where Good will defeat Evil! It will be so! There are no doubts!!

Welcome to the System! Together we will change the world

WARNING! – IGNORE ANY WHATSAPP VIDEO CALL INVITATION SENT TO YOU

whatsapp-video-calling1

WhatsApp launched the much-anticipated video calling feature for Android, iPhone, andWINDOWS Phone users earlier this week.

The WhatsApp video calling feature was tested for months before being made commercially available. As the news of the video calling rollout hit the Web, many users started receiving and sharing an unverified link on WhatsApp, claimed to be an invite link to activate WhatsApp video calling. Please note that the invite link that has gone viral on WhatsApp is fake, and clicking it could potentially expose your smartphone to harmful attacks.

WhatsApp introduced an invite system last year when it rolled out voice calling in phases to all its users, and appears to be the reason scam artists are trying an ‘invite link’ to dupe users to do the same for WhatsApp video calling. Notably however, the official invite system did not make use of links to any website – not even the company’s own. The Facebook-owned firm certainly appears to have learnt from its mistakes with the voice calling rollout, and WhatsApp video calling is automatically enabled via updates from respective app stores.

This hasn’t stopped the unsolicited invite link from going viral on WhatsApp, and duping users. It wrongly guides users that only people with an invitation can enable WhatsApp video calling. This information is wrong as all iPhone,WINDOWS Phone, and Android users now have the WhatsApp video calling update rolling out to their smartphones. There is no invite system being used by the company, and the WhatsApp video calling feature is available to all freely via a simple update. Just head to the Google Play/App Store/ or Windows Store to check for an update manually, and download it via mobile data or Wi-Fi to activate video calling.

This message is widely being thought to be the real deal because of link name and the interface of the website that it leads to artfully spoof the legitimate site and app. There is more than one variations of this invite being forwarded in an attempt to dupe people waiting to try WhatsApp video calling. The links ‘whatsapp.org.videocallenable.co‘ or ‘whatsappvideostart.com‘ have an interface that matches the actual app’s colour pattern. It has a bold green button in the middle that claims to activate WhatsApp video calling and even has screenshots of the video calling feature to convince users of its legitimacy.

Clicking on the link will lead to another page that will ask you to invite more friends on WhatsApp. Notably, it even mentions the existence of group WhatsApp video calling – something that doesn’t officially yet exist on the platform – perhaps as a lure for users who may want that extra feature. The site appears to be a phishing one that seeks user details, and may possibly also provide a download of a malicious app.

Report: Google Pixel Phones Is Out Of Stock On Google Store

According to reports, the Google Pixel XL is completely out of stock on the Google store.

Google Pixel Phones Out Of Stock On Google Store

The version "very blue" two pixels, Pixel XL and sold in minutes make Google available for purchase on the Google store, and now the 32GB variant for Jolie and black money are showing pixel estimated delivery between 4-5 weeks with standard shipping.

However, perhaps even more challenging, the Pixel XL is completely drained of all available variants. This does not come as too much of a surprise considering how popular phones have become high, but it is still a bit of disappointment if he had intended to buy one this week.

However, if you happen to be a customer of Verizon or will make the switch to Verizon in the near future, the wireless service provider currently with all versions of both Pixel and Pixel XL in stock with estimated delivery date October 20 this is good news if you're on Verizon's network, but if you happen to be with a vehicle like aT & T or T-Mobile, you will be waiting for the Google store to bring the terminals available again.

With this report, I am more convinced that Google is now refreshed and ready to become viable competitors - perhaps not the leaders at that time - in the smartphone industry, taking into leaders long as Samsung, Apple, HTC Huawei, and tastes. We can not wait to see what would happen shortly.

Pixel new Google Nexus phone to replace the series as terminals Homegrown search giant. Now, I can not help wondering why Huawei has denied the possibility of manufacturing pixel phones, an agreement that was seized by HTC at first sight. This deal is certainly paying now.

Well, we would like to hear your thoughts if you think Google would soon be leaders in the smartphone industry. Not just that, we want to know why you think so too. Let’s hear you.

REASON WHY YOUR ADSENSE WAS FROZEN – AND STATS NOT WORKING

As you might notice, AdSense stats are not working. But don’t worry it’s not you, you are not banned, and your account hasn’t been disabled. It is just a bug in their system, but we are waiting for additional information about this issue.

RELAX, YOU ARE NOT BANNED!

We could see a huge number of questions on support forums and all over the Internet regarding this matter, and many users expressed their concerns about this. Since Google significantly tightened their policies regarding AdSense we completely understand users that immediately thought that their account is disabled.

Don’t worry; this is only a temporary setback, and we are sure that Google will solve it quickly. To be honest, we don’t know when an issue like this happened last time as all services by search engine giant tend to be more than reliable and bug-free.

There are still no official statements by Mountain View company and how this will be solved. Hopefully, all stats are safe on their servers, and entire AdSense network is fully operating and recording all data for both publishers and advertisers.

It’s not clear when the stats stopped working but our estimations that it was between 5 pm and 7 pm Eastern Time Zone (UTC-05:00). Reports of issues came from all over the world including Japan, Philippines, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Serbia,  and much more.
As soon as we get more details regarding this, we can call it, rare bug, we will deliver those here.
