The Reason for The Season

Almighty, you could have snapped us into a blip to avenge for our unruly stubbornness and cruelty. You could have hypnotized us from the beginning of time to follow you with nothing called free will. No urge to disobey, steal or kill. But you chose to send your begotten son.
In the beginning, you could have corrected sin and immorality yet allowed men to dwell in their carnality and later show them your sovereignty. Leaving His comfort zone, He came down to live as one of us.

He was betrayed for a few denominations, chastised on several occasions but chose our salvation over condemnation. And for our sake He was condemned to death. To the wisdom of man, it was an improper fraction but to God a perfect solution.Though sinless and blameless, He bore the crossed burdened with our sins. Under the Heavy cross bathed in blood and sweat, he fell three times yet didn’t give up.

He was poised to accomplish this mission of our salvation. Nailed to the cross, blood oozing from every part of his body, overwhelmed with suffering and the weight of his own body and our sins pulling him down, he bowed his head in death and it was finished. With this blood he changed the subject from sin to grace, giving us rest and freedom from punishment no doubt we deserved. This love was an irrational expression. Christ, zeroed out our every crime, factored us into his lifeline and made us prime. He redefined the divine set and made some addition.

He intercepted destruction with redemption. No mathematician can ever comprehend His formula for this calculation. We were condemned sinners but he kissed death for us to be winners. Embraced the cross so we won’t suffer loss. He was betrayed for meagre shekels so we will be delivered from the devil’s shackles.In his crucifixion and resurrection, we got an eternal inheritance. We were given a precious gift of essence, The Holy Spirit.

He flipped open a new page for the parturition of a new age. He ascended and was crowned with a new name and glory. This is our victory story. This is no fiction. This is a story about how one man carried the sins of the whole world. And through him we have salvation only if we believe and confess He is Lord. He is the reason for this season. It is Easter. Let’s celebrate together.

New 'Artificial Leaf' That Converts Carbon Dioxide Into Fuel

Scientists have created an “artificial leaf” to fight climate change by inexpensively converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into a useful alternative fuel. The new technology, outlined in a paper published on November 4, 2019, in the journal Nature Energy, was inspired by the way plants use energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into food. “We call it an artificial leaf because it mimics real leaves and the process of photosynthesis,” said Yimin Wu, an engineering professor at the University of Waterloo who led the research. “A leaf produces glucose and oxygen. We produce methanol and oxygen.” Making methanol from carbon dioxide, the primary contributor to global warming, would both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a substitute for the fossil fuels that create them. The key to the process is a cheap, optimized red powder called cuprous oxide. An hour-long chemical reaction creates the engineered red powder that is the key to new technology to tur...

THE WAIT

Illustration. Credit: HIOS The past they say hunts you down . But to get someone who overlooks all the past and says, ''Hey you deserve another shot'', has always been a one in a million event. We met in the weirdest of ways but we have grown to become the best of friends. If anyone had told me things would have grown this fast between us, I wouldn't have believed. Today I stare at your pictures and I can literally smell you. ''Am I getting mad?'', I ask myself. Maybe, no; probably yes. But if I would go mad because of the person who although I needed a new start due to my past transgressions, yet believed in me, then I wouldn't think twice about it. I guess the light I see in her is what she sees in me. We are taking things slow, not rushing a thing; trusting Your timing, not pushing when we need to pull--step by step, growth by growth--not  missing even a single nano-detail of the process. Am I mad to wait till you are ready?  For I...

Seater of The Week: Mr Abdul Latif Abubakar

Meet our Sports Personality of the Week, Mr Abdul-Latif Abubakar: a hard working gentleman and the current MATESA electoral commissioner. Mr.Latif - SOTW Who is Mr.Latif Abubakar?(Relationship status:dating, broken up, gnashing) Well, this question is a bit difficult to answer since day in and day out, people change and grow. But I will say Abdul Latif Abubakar is a young hard working gentleman who believes in self-discipline. Ha-ha, sure I’m dating. Share with us your experience in secondary school.What is the worst you ever did in school you really regret. I attended T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, Kumasi (Real Amass). My SHS life was very fun and nice. I will say, I didn’t really struggle over there; and because I was a very hard working and discipline guy, everyone liked me. Oh not really (on the worst thing) but I think my only regret was forcing some mates to adhere to the school rules and regulations since I was a prefect. Why did you choose KNUST over t...

Vibranium - The Wonder of Wakanda

Black Panther wearing Vibranium suit. PC: ucf.edu If you've ever thought that the Vibranium metal used in the Black Panther movie is a real material, you're possibly mistaken. What is Vibranium? Sourced from a meteorite that landed in Wakanda many centuries ago, Vibranium provides the superpower in the main character’s suit, absorbing energy and redistributing it. Vibranium (/vaɪˈbreɪniÉ™m/) is a fictional metal appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, noted for its extraordinary abilities to absorb, store, and release large amounts of kinetic energy. Mined only in Wakanda, the metal is associated with Black Panther, who wears a suit of vibranium, and with Captain America, who bears a vibranium-steel alloy shield which has never been reproduced. Real-world Material In 2016, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies developed a real-world smart composite material that they named Vibranium. The lightweight carbon fiber material for the Hyperloop ...

Love Today, A Misconception?

As Tolstoy said, ''There are as many kinds of love as there are hearts''. Since the genesis of the world, from the making of green and every moving thing on the surface of the earth, love has been there. Everything natural we see is love’s product. The subject has been largely misconstrued with infatuation, lust, idolization, or obsession. There is no age to stop infatuating about someone. Infatuations sometimes bamboozle people into thinking that they are in love. Infatuation is our temporary liking and attraction towards someone whom we think are in love with, and this makes us falsely proclaim that indeed we are in love. A lot of relationships have failed to stand the test of time due to both party's inability to decipher how they feel, what they feel and why they feel what they feel. As we grow with time, we begin to have affection toward each other be it heterosexual or homosexual. This affection takes more serious and mature form with time. In toda...

Be A Survivor -- A Poem By F. Agyemang

Many across the globe are bearing the brunt of Covid19. Some who haven't experienced it can't really imagine its consequences on people and economies. Let us thus relieve ourselves of the stress with this exhilarating poetic piece by @cocajuana_pens You can call me Covid I'm more dangerous than conflict I have no limit And I kill without mercy Cos I have no vaccine Just don't dare me I might end your destiny I'm so wicked! But you can avoid me Stay at home Give a distance And do no hommies For instance If you have to sneeze or cough Just cover it off Don't do it raw Else it'll be an issue So kindly use a tissue Hand washing should be regular That's the normal routine Do it with soap under running water Even if you haven't eaten Wondering how to keep clean? Use a hand sanitizer Just like many diseases I know I won't last forever A vaccine will be made And I will be slayed Until then, you have to be a survivor ...

Non-stick surface technology

By Hilda Kafui Nuworku [3min read] Non-stick is a surface engineered to reduce the ability of other materials to stick to it. Non-stick is often used to refer to surfaces coated with Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE),  but in the 21st century other coatings have been marked as non-stick, such as anodized aluminum,  ceramics, cast iron, carbon steel and many others. Cast iron, carbon steel, cast aluminium and steel cookware may be seasoned by applying fat to the surface and heating to polymerize the fat. This produces a dry hard smooth, hydrophobic coating, which is non-stick when food is in it. Polytetrafluroethylene is a synthetic fluoropolymer or tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. Its well known brand is Teflon® , by Chemours,  a polymer company. PTFE molecular structure. PC: susbtech.com Properties of PTFE: It's a fluorocarbon solid, with a high molecular weight. It's hydrophobic due to the high electronegativity of Fluorine. It ...

The 'thinking metal': Shape Memory Alloy

Nitinol wires. PC: Wikpedia By Francis Agyemang, Member of the Editorial Team, MATESA KNUST We are the intelligent metal alloys !!! Yes! People prefer to call us shape memory alloys and it is the name we well deserve. We never forget our shape when thermal or mechanical load is exerted on us. Once the load is removed, we regain our pre-deformed shape. Our thermal deformation is very unique, unlike other metals, we deform under low temperatures and regain our shapes upon heating. Our effect (shape memory effect) was first discovered in an alloy of gold and cadmium (AuCd) by Swedish physicist Arne Olander in 1932. 2D view of nitinol's crystalline structure during cooling/heating cycle The two most prevalent smart alloys are copper-aluminium-nickel (CuAlNi) and nickel-titanium ( Nitinol). Though we have many uses and potential applications, we are commonly used in mending broken bones and making of dental braces. A nitinol paperclip bent and recovered aft...

Material Manufacturing from Particles Takes a Giant Step Forward

A scanning electron micrograph shows a fishnet structure formed by nanocellulose that has bound 1.15 micrometers of silica particles together. Credit: Bruno Mattos / Aalto University Tiny fibrils extracted from plants have been getting a lot of attention for their strength. These nanomaterials have shown great promise in outperforming plastics, and even replacing them. A team led by Aalto University has now shown another remarkable property of nanocelluloses: their strong binding properties to form new materials with any particle. Cohesion, the ability to keep things together, from the scale of nanoparticles to building sites is inherent to these nanofibrils, which can act as mortar to a nearly infinite type of particles as described in the study. The ability of nanocelluloses to bring together particles into cohesive materials is at the root of the study that links decades of research into nanoscience towards manufacturing. The research reveals the universality of coh...
