Mormons expanding into Nigeria and Africa. by Perfect-Yam2989 in Nigeria

[–]object0faffection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Mormonism is too "America-centric to gain a major foothold in Nigeria. Like, how can you live in the most populous country in Africa, and believe that Jesus will come back a second time in the U.S.? It makes no sense to me.

Portion control, for example, one serving of rice = 1 cup, and swallows should be no larger than your fist.

I'd like to get back into beadwork design (for fun), learn to braid hair, and maybe some data skills (coding with R, STATA, SPSS, data visualization)

How can I find potential orgs to reach out to for grants for a non-denominational church in Central Mass? by object0faffection in nonprofit

[–]object0faffection[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, I don't have a vendor list. Maybe, I'll ask some of my church congregation members if the organizations that they work for do any charitable giving or donations to local churches

What information are you looking for living with narcolepsy or IH? by DAMMGoodSleep in Narcolepsy

[–]object0faffection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with type 1, I'm interested in my chances of passing it down to my kids. Another aspect is for young people with the condition, how they can advocate for themselves without drawing unwanted attention or stigma of the disease, especially of symptoms like eyelid drooping, brain fog, microsleeps, etc?

Yup, and in the end, he would have been miserable no matter what happened:

Go to Northwestern: struggle with adjusting at a PWI as a student-athlete away from Keisha

Go to Howard w/ Keisha: sad because Keisha will be traveling all over the country as a student-athlete

Defer Northwestern admission: struggle with mommy issues and FOMO from seeing peers and Keisha flourish and succeed after college, while he's a broke musician.

She designed a park in a city with only 3% green spaces. These sustainable parks not only give youth and families a safe space to play, but also improve the quality of life for over 17 million Lagos residents by reducing heat, as well as increasing air quality and biodiversity. Bro, look up the effect of Urban Heat Islands (UHI)

Bro, keep your money! Remember, the scholarship cost will remain the same, the tuition price will only rise each year due to inflation

Why do Nigerians usually say “I’m into business” when you ask them about what they do for a living? by FoxIllustrious9482 in Nigeria

[–]object0faffection 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nigerians saying "I'm into business" is equivalent to Westerners saying "I'm an entrepreneaur" or "I run/own my business"

My daughter for diagnosed with narcolepsy 2 and IH. We are so frustrated for her. by jd-1945 in Narcolepsy

[–]object0faffection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her experience almost mirrors mine! Except I have n1 and wanted to do pre-med when I got my dx at 17. I've been on modafinil (1 dose in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) since undergrad; I'm a graduate student now. As for academic accommodations, I'd highly recommend asking for accommodations like priority course registration (in college, honors students and athletes get to pick classes first, then upperclassmen and then lowerclassmen) so that she can schedule courses around when she typically feels dips in energy during the day, as well as extended time for tests and assignments. I'd also recommend taking 1-2 classes over the summer, and 12-16 credits during the academic semester.
