Astronauts repair space station pump
December 25, 2013 12:26 AM The spacewalk to repair the coolant system gets under way Two US astronauts have successfully repaired a critical cooling system pump at the International Space Station, the US space agency Nasa says. Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins completed a spacewalk of 7.5 hours to replace the faulty ammonia pump. The pump broke down two weeks ago, leaving the US side of the station without half its cooling system. All non-essential equipment had to be switched off and many scientific experiments were halted. Nasa now says all the systems should be back up and running by the weekend. "It's the best Christmas ever," Mission Control radioed the astronauts. In reply, Mr Hopkins said: "Merry Christmas to everybody. It took a couple (of) weeks to get her done, but we got it." It was the two astronauts' second spacewalk in three days to replace the pump, which is about the size of a refrigerator. Nasa has said that the station's six-member crew was never in danger. It was only the second Christmas Eve spacewalk in the history of the space programme. The only previous spacewalk on 24 December was in 1999 during a Hubble Space Telescope repair mission. Tuesday's repair mission came on the 45th anniversary of the now iconic Earthrise photograph, taken by the crew of Apollo 8 as they orbited the Moon in 1968. BBC © 2013

He tried his hands in business and not having capital he couldn't pull it off the ground.
His wife believe that her money is hers and that she has been feeding the family and paying the school fees of two children. He called her one day after 3 years of no job.
"Darling I have been meaning to speak with you on something that has been bothering me" the wife was curious to know "eh hen what could that be?"
Husband: "I want to thank you specially for standing in there for me pending when I secure another job. May God bless and promote you. its been three years today since I lost my bank job, and I have been looking for another job, I have shown you other plans, I need money to execute the plans. I have asked some of my friends but none is forthcoming. I know you are doing too much already, but I think that if you can put in about 300k I should be able to take it off the ground.
Wife: haa I can't give that kind of money ooo, I have also been think about it, Sh, what did you do with your savings.
Husband: haba, I'm surprised you are asking this question, I don't have any account you don't know,when I lost my job we had to move and I paid the two year rent for this duplex, you advised I should buy the land in Mowe which I did, we strated developing the property before I ran out of fund.
Wife: well, I need my money for something else ooo
Husband was angry and shocked, he stood up quietly and walked away. Two years after Tayo was still flogging the street of Lagos. He went to every free business seminar, from one vigil to another. He did deliverance in churches. Some told him it was a generational curse, other said it was the wife, yet others say somebody in his family has sworn he will never make it. Yewande his wife gradually lost respect for him. Abandoned him, and junketed from one party to church activity, she was a busy Woman. That was her own way of fighting depression.
That was what she told this counsellor
Meanwhile, in the process of slapping the street. He came across his secondary school girl friend. They parted ways after their school certificate exam.Princess Ifeyinwa studied abroad and had come home to run her father's business as the only Child
She has been married twice in the US and had recently fallen out with her gay husband. Princess has no child, Tayo has two.
Princess cried when Tayo told her his story. She asked Tayo to handle her financial portfolio
That evening Tayo came home to break the news to his wife, but found that Yewande had moved out.
Tayo was confused, she went after Yewande and no one in her family knew where she was, she did not even report to her siblings
For a week, Princess didn't hear from Tayo who was confused as the wife's family is now saying he must have used her and the children for money ritual
The police came arrested Tayo and detained him. For a week until a friend of yewande could not take it any more
Shola told the police that Yewande has absconded with a Senator to Abuja. She now owns a big supermarket in Abuja
Tayo was released when he told Princess what has happened, Princess asked him to move into her house but Tayo refused, insisting he was still legally married and since he is a christian he won't do that.
Princess reluctantly accepted however things began to happen
When Tayo met Yewande, she told him it was over between then and tried as he could, she was adamant.
She filed a divorce in court and after a year of going back and forth the court dissolved the marriage, the trial judge was very upset with Yewande and granted custody of the children to Tayo. She called Yewande an irresponsible and heartless woman.
It was during the hearing that Yewande discovered that Tayo's status had changed without knowing.
After the divorce, the Senator got to know the true story and told Yewande it was over. He said "I thought you were a widow as you said and wanted to help you, I didn't know I was committing sin with you, you are wicked"
Now Yewande is begging Tayo, Tayo is caught between marrying Princess and forgiving Yewande.
And Tayo is seriously giving it a thought. What do you counsel?
