JAYUK:
Overdrive , mostly found on auto trannies,engages the last gear, lowers the rpm while ensuring gas consumption is reduced at that high speed
I think its the other way round.

Over drive simply means to delay gear shift or in other case downshift.

If normally the conditions for shifting from gear 2-3 is 3000rpm at a particular throttle position plus other conditions, over drive will increase the conditions of shifting to 3500rpm for example.

This gives the driver more power to play with but annoying if you are driving normally on OD since it will delay the shift unnecessarily and consuming more fuel than normal.

Honda for instance, instead of giving a driver the OD option prefers to offer you the option of manually shifting at your desired RPM hence the D, D3, 2, 1. Toyota gives the OD which does same thing although automatically. OD should shift your gear down to 3 if on 4 or to 2 from 3.

Business › Re: The Price You Pay For Looking For Cheap Things -an Experience by adanny01(m): 11:41pm On Jan 06, 2020
micronut:
A local woman was to roof her house, she had sent for quotations from different carpenters for roofing sheets. She got many and went for the cheapest.

Then she asked the Carpenter with the cheapest workmanship where she can get the cheapest price of the roofing sheet.

Well, madam, Iginla Stores sell at good and affordable price, one of the best in Ile-Ife, and possibly Osun state – The Carpenter explained.

Not satisfied, the woman having mobilized how planks would get to the site and roofing is about to commence asked the Carpenter to follow her to town to check different prices.

Worried but not discouraged, the Carpenter took the woman around three building material shops in town and eventually the stopped at Iginla. The woman still believes it will be cheaper somewhere else, a bundle of iron sheets at Ile-Ife at N26,000 must be cheap else where.

May be Ibadan, Yes, Ibadan will be fine.

She called a friend where they sell roofing sheets in Ibadan.

Go to Ogunpa Market, She was told.

Oh. I know all those best places in that market, because you need to be wise make dem no scam you oo. If no because of my work today, I would have followed you ma. – The carpenter advised.

Haa, No ooo. You must follow me oo. Please, don’t be disturbed, I will give you your daily labor work. You know all these sellers are thieves, some of them make unimaginable gains, I would never be their mugu. You see those planks, and almost everything on my site, I source them myself. One needs to be wise you know. Lol – Madam narrated!

Then, they headed for Ibadan with a rented truck.

On arriving the busy market, the Carpenter having been used to many of the sellers was greeted and welcomed to the big warehouse.

Immediately, the sales boy ask, Egbon se gbele ni abi normal? (Is it high grade or normal?) The carpenter said gbele ni oo…. (We want high grade).

Well, we sell high grade at 25,000. Normal at N23,000.

The madam asked what is wrong with the Normal?

Nothing, just the different makers – The Sales guy explained.

No be to roof house make e no leak? Please give us the N23,000 per bundle. We are buying 20 bundles.

Meanwhile, All the roofing sheets categorized are same. The grading is in pricing to charge and not in quality of the material.

When an artisan goes to a shop to buy, he buys at customers price – Mostly the last price the business shops can offer. They are stakeholders especially as businesses put their small cut when selling.

When you are not an artisan, you buy at regular or normal market price. If they sell a lamp holder to an electrician at N150, the normal price may be N200 if you go as the owner.

But if owner follows artisans, to market to price and buy, most often, what you get is high grade price unsuspectingly. A lamp holder goes to 250, and any removal depends on artisans price hackling power. Many times, artisans allow sellers to make more gain, on the stubborn owner that follows them and they come back behind to collect the little gains.

Well, the madam transferred and paid, and while the carpenter assisted in carrying them out, he requested for the seller’s fone no openly so he can call next time In case he sees no customer .

Well, It is coded! He isn’t asking for phone no but account no. Lol

He got a paper and put his account no.

Before they reached Ikire, he got transferred.

N3000 on every bundle on 20 bundles.

That’s N60,000.

The bundle price was actually 20,000.

The woman thought she bought at a better price in Ibadan at N23,000 instead of N26,000 at Ife. Lol

The carpenter got home still got paid by the woman as daily labor money.

He narrated the ordeal!

Lessons:

1. There is a price we pay for trying not to be cheated when dealing with Nigerian Artisans. Being too wise can be costly too.

2. It's mere foolishness to think you can outsmart an artisan or any professional in their field.

If you don't trust an artisan and his/her price, go elsewhere. Never be tempted to try buy materials for yourself.

Worse still, you source for materials and they tell you you bought inferior ones to make you feel bad and exonerate themselves if whatever they did got spoilt fast - Oluwapelumi Awotedu.

Source: https://naijalocals.com.ng/the-price-you-pay-for-looking-for-cheap-things/
I make serious research, estimates and calculations before I call an artisan. Most cases, they cut cap for me and beg me to reconsider and add a little money because they eventually make too little. I oblige and they respect me for paying more than we agreed.

The only problem is, it makes me slow. Also, lack of experience will cause one to lose money, so I know when to trust an artisan.

Family › Re: He Got My Sister Pregnant, Rejected It, Now He Wants The Child 16 Years After by adanny01(m): 8:21am On Dec 30, 2019
Biafrareform:
Good evening all. I need your honest opinion on this .

My elder sister was put in a family way 16 years ago. The guy responsible, his family rejected the pregnancy Infront of my family .

We took her in, cared for her and she gave birth to a lovable baby girl . Dam, she is so pretty and was well loved.

She grew to become my pet . I loved her with all my heart. Infact we all loved her .

My elder sister is married . She has told her daughter that her present husband is her father when she start asking questions.

She is done with her secondary school and currently running a fashion design program . I planned on sending her to the Uni once she is done with her program .

Just got on phone with my sister now and she is telling me that , the dude that got her pregnant family has been disturbing her to allow them access to the girl . That they are ready to train her to any level .

And she is considering telling her daughter the truth about her birth .

Can you imagine the nonsense. I have warned her not to do that not to talk of giving them access and I am currently furious right now . After 16 years of loving this girl, someone is now claiming father .

Please how do I handle this .
I get it, you are hurt and insulted by their actions.

However, dont make a fuss about it. The biological father has rights you dont have, so dont go down that way.

I suggest you guys sit her down and tell her. She will most probably wanna meet her dad, you better let her. She is not a lottle girl and you have done the best for her. If she appreciates, she will treat you guys as her first and only family. You cant force anything on her since she will in a few years have full right to choose where she lives.

Sit her down in a family meeting style and drop the news and tell her the family who want her now didn't want her when she was still in the womb and for the 16years of her life until now.

Tell her you are not letting her go, and would fight them with every thing you have but she has to decide to be with the only family she has ever know.

I trust that she will do the right thing. Most kids in such situations will just want to meet with their other family and get over the feeling of not knowing.

Romance › Re: Breakup: My Girlfriend's Christmas Gift To Me by adanny01(m): 2:12pm On Dec 29, 2019
tayooluwole:
PHOTO: Dilemma, This Is My Girlfriend's Christmas Gift For Me...

I have never been this confused in my life. I started dating my girl like 3 months ago. This is a girl that is committed to Gods things and firmly stands on christian value and principle in her dealings all around.

Shortly along the line of our relationship, she revealed to me that she is a virgin which I doubted until she allowed me to verify like I was taken child delivery for her. She is 24 years old, her dad is a deeper life pastor and a solder at the same time.

Funny enough, her dress does not suggest that she has anything at all to do with deeper life, though she doesn't wear trousers and doesn't put on hair rings. But in all of these, her look still doesn't bear semblance with a typical religious person.

She asked me if I can wait until marriage in terms of sex because she is not ready to give up her virginity for anything at all until official solemnisation, firstly because she doesn't want to disappoint her dad and secondly, because she doesn't want to betray her Christian value and believe. I was so happy to have a woman of such rarely found quality in my life and never thought it twice before striking a relationship deal of no sex with her.

All was going fine. Once in a while we passionately kissed when such opportunity presents it self. While doing this, I sometimes got carried away by stretching my hands towards the location of NO GO AREA clearly defined in the preagreement terms of our relationship. But her determination in protecting that area is second to none.

Honestly, I fell in love with this girl and even the scar of satisfying her is still visible on my body. I did all I could to make her persistently happy.

To cut it short, just this morning, she sent me a breakup message. It was unbelievable and came as a shock because breakup message is what I least expected from her at this nascent stage of our relationship.

Meanwhile, just yesternight which is barely 12 hours ago, we had a good conversation on WhatsApp like we used to have, in which she was asking me about my day, what I ate, my activities for that day and all that. The conversation was so mutual and ran smooth that it didn't suggest any hostility or preconceived plan of breaking up.

Since I saw the message, I have been muttering to my self about what could actually be the real reasons for such spontaneous decision. Though when I pressured her about the real reasons for this action, she told me that a guy broke her heart in 2017, and since that time she has been finding it difficult to love.

Pls how can I handle this situation ? I love this girl genuinely and at the same time, at this stage of my life, I don't want to waste anytime by making repetitive appeal and persuasion in hope that probably she is gonna change her mind...
Set a date or move on.

enshi:
Pls guys help me with the right words actions and steps to go about this..

Yes I was caught in the act.
She had traveled to her village to see her parents and she was to come back 2nd January. She left 24th ..

I was on this antibiotics since two weeks now and it really made me experience extra morning sicknesses (guys will understand) so we kept communication every now and then while she was away.

Today I met a lady in the morning while I went to buy my dog feed.. So I invited her to the house she came and we had little alcohol and one thing led to another we were on the bed pants down.. To my greatest surprise my window were flipped open all of a sudden low and behold it was my gf peeping through.. Omg

She had tried to come through the front door but it was locked . she probably had knocked but I didn't hear due to the generator that was on..
She called me my love and asked for how long I have been doing this then she left.. I was agog likewise the naked lady on my bed...

The lady left just immediately... I have not called my gf up till now.. I am confused don't know what to say or do.. Pls guys.. I love her and I have never cheated on her in a year and four months now.

What do I do
Shaggy's song comes to mind, "it wasn't me".

The probability that yout relationship has ended is there but the more you delay in apologizing the more your GF thinks you are a cheat by nature.

Girls want to be begged, kneeled pleaded to. The urgency with which you plead proofs your regret.

The fact that you cheated may not count but the fact that you didn't apologize on time could count.

If I were you, I would have been begging since ground zero.

Bought it at 100k miles.

So you insinuate the previous owner did replace the gear box?

Am sure Piyke didn't replace his either.

The secret is having driven 4 generations of accord, I know how to avoid certain problems ignorant people assume is bad with the Accord. I avoided that thing that makes Accord gear box fails and since it has not failed yet, the previous owners didn't do same mistake either.
Properties › Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by adanny01(m):
kobenol:
Oh damn bros. Take this keynote sir.
Depth of Structural Engineering enables a mix of Structural steel with Reinforced concrete and in fact many other materials such as acrylic, carbon fiber, glass fibre, engineered lumber... you can name the rest. There exists elaborate design codes for designing and constructing these structures e.g Eurocode 4 (BS EN 1994)
It's a more common practice than you imagine and it's called RCS - Reinforced Composite Steel. Many bridge decks are RC slabs sitting on steel girders; Slab decks in some industrial buildings compose of thin concrete layer on corrugated steel sheet which acts as permanent formwork and bears tensile stress in the slab elements; Supercolumns and sometimes driven piles consists of regular R.C column with embedded steel section or in fact concrete poured in hollow steel section.
I'm sorry for replying an old post. But I believe people can use some more knowledge in future.
You actually missed the original question i was replying to.

The question was if a structural steel member can be used to replace reinforcement steel in a reinforced concrete design?

In composite design, the structural steel and reinforced concrete are independent of each other but used together to achieve a combined and greater load carrying ability.

The second picture you posted has A, B C and D composite structural members having both reinforced concrete and structural steel. All four structural members carry reinforcement steel and structural steel. What the original question asked was if the reinforcement steel could be removed and then the structural steel serves as reinforcement to the concrete.

Removing the reinforcement steel as the op suggested will reduce the composite member to an effective structural steel member since the reinforced concrete is reduced to just concrete.

Think of it this way, op asked if a car's engine can be replaced with a horse, you are saying a car can be even made to fly.

lol...i am not depressed. If at all am sad then it is because of the issue at hand
My dear, don't be ashamed.

Sadness is the main symptom of depression. Pls google Clinical depression and compare the symptoms to what you are feeling.

My take is that, as long as you cannot point to a reason that you want to break off a supposedly good relationship and that the thought of it makes you sad, i think you are doing that subconsciously which seem to me like depression. Even though i didn't expected that you'd be depressed for days in a row to have generated and excuted the thought if it was not a spontaneous thing.

It is illogical to break of a relationship that doesn't hurt you, doesn't affect you or goes against your principles, has no conflict with anything you do or believe in. You didn't complain the guy or the relationship at all so I assume he is a good candidate to get married to and all of a sudden, you want to quit and even thinking of changing your number, girl there is a big red flag there.

You need a reason to explain the breakup, if nothing, I think you are depressed.

I am not going to create another moniker for this,i owe no one nothing!

I have spent most of my life single. I tried linking up with people but to no avail. Why? I will not do the blame game here. Is all my fault. I meet someone, get heed over heels for the person but I lose interest easily. When it comes to commitment, when the friendship is to get to the next level I ghost them. I don't know why. At best out of the blue I lose interest and become blank, not returning calls or replying messages, at worst I become disgusted at the fellow for no reason at all then move one to the next male friend. Nothing serious comes out of it...

So I decided to give up trying. My female friends and I go on an outing, some guys approach us and get our numbers. Months (sometimes years) later they are still waxing strong with the males, one of them even got married to one of them. But me? After a couple of weeks I find myself having to ghost the guy that I was head over heels for.

I gave up on love and chose to be single. I have been single for years now.

I met this guy march this year,we bonded like never before. I have never in my entire life felt like this before. It is so strange that each conversation we have all seems anew like we are starting all over.

It's almost ten months and the fire is still intense.
I have never had such a long friendship with a male. People assume we are dating. He gives me so much JOY... He is so awesome, different from all the others i have known. He changed me.

I just figured out i want to end the friendship, I don't know why. I am tired. I want to walk away. The passion is still there but i want to be away. I wanted to get a new SIM but my conscience will not. What has kept me from doing this is because i wonder how he will feel..

I want to walk away. Will i regret this?
You sound depressed, get help.

Its not you, its the depression, its a sickness and has medication. Just like having suicidal thoughts in can be medically treated.

Its good you realized there is a problem.

When I was working and living away from my family, i get depressed most times from staying alone. Those times were rough for me, i did all sort of things, drink, get bad company, generally break my own rules. One medication helped (banned now and seriously addictive) and it was self medication but I had very good self control to have limited its use. So I would never recommend it, see a professional for your own case.

FrankFrenzy:
Many thanks bro
But can you throw more light on the above trims.
I have attached a picture of the said car, hope it helps
The Accord in the picture is bought brand new in Nigeria. I think those sold in Nigeria are Asia Pacific models.

I hold that opinion because Japan/Euro Accord of the same year is a different car. The Japan/Euro model is similar to the Acura TSX sold in North America.

The North American version of the Accord doesn't have an i-VTEC badge on the body. That badge is found on the Nigerian brand new version. The North American version is the same to the Asia Pacific model so this model would not be a US model but manufactured in Thailand.

I think brand new Honda sold in Nigeria comes from the Ayutthaya plant in Thailand.

That been said VTEC means Variable Timing Electronically Controlled and iVTEC means intelligent Variable Timing Electronically Controlled.

The downside of this car will be higher cost of plant specific parts such as engine, ECU, body parts. The Northern American models are important more than any other.

Here goes nothing...I don't know, could be because you are stupid Oh Lord!
There is a 25% chance for an AS couple to birth a sickler. Just 25%. For every birth that is.
In case you've not figured it out yet, it means there is a 75% chance that their children would be normal. Pretty good odds if you ask me. Is your brain poverty-addled or what? Even if it is a matter of "comparing USA to Naija" (which it isn't), why do you think the OP and his would-be spouse will be unable to afford US treatment in the future if not now?? What is the safest thing? You could be shot walking on the road. Does that mean you won't walk on the road? What about flying? You could get involved in a plane crash you know? Life itself is a risk?
How can you guarantee safety in this worldhuh
Except the Lord watcheth the city, all that watch watch in vain--- The Good Book
How do you know that his next partner would not have bigger problems?
What is the sense in throwing away real love on 25% odds?

Queen Biglittlelois, I hope you are pleased. If you aren't, I can think of other ways of pleasing you. Pleasurable ways... tongue
Bros that 25% is enough to scare anybody if you have ever had sleepless night watching your loved one going through pain.

In every birth of the couple, the chance of having a sickler is 25%. The chance of having a sickler is 100% in 4 births. If the first child is not a sickler the chance of a sickler in the second birth is 50%, third birth 75% and fourth birth is 100%.

I can see that the both of you are deeply in love

You can continue having sex with preventive measures till the relationship fezeel out

Stop telling her to stop calling you, both of you are feeling the the same problem and it can be very hurtful

Don't break her heart, allow her to pull out naturally

But if it gets to a stage that you guys are so glued, be prepared to adopt children if you must get married

Someone can carry your pregnancy and deliver the baby to both of you and you pay the person off

Love is a very magnetic thing and it's always difficult to say goodbye
Its not that bad.

I agree with you mostly.

She can have children but i think there is a medical process to select the genotype of a fetus and then implanted in her. Its just expensive.

There is also fetal genotype testing and abortion as a cheaper option but the risk of harming the fetus is a thing of concern.

Hello nairalanders, good morning.
Please something has been troubling my mind. I'm currently constructing a three bedroom bungalow with concrete fascia ( parapet). The seasoned engineer handling the project refused to include any pillars on the foundation, saying there is no need.

For the past 2 hours I have been going through different pages of several projects here on this section of nairaland and I cannot say I'm not scared my foundation is without any form of pillars. I don't know if it's because he used 9" blocks on all outside walls.

Please I don't want my house to collapse. Please kindly let me know if there is anything I can still do. Or if the pillars can at this point be included. I'm scared please.

I just filled the foundation with sand. That's the stage the project is at currently.
You have no issues if blinding concrete was done well. The next thing to watch out is mortar for block choking. You can use a mix ratio of 1:4. Lastly, do a chain lintel.

Pillars (columns) by design best carries mostly axial loads. They can be designed to carry bending moment and transverse loads but will carry far more axial loads than it would bending or transverse loads. Pillars used for a bungalow in 95% of the cases is over design. It is unnecessary and a waste. Parapet is a small load that can be uniformly distributed onto the walls but the issue in most cases is the bending moment created by too much parapet overhang.

If you dont want sex before marriage please don't invest in any relationship.

It's like this Anthony Joshua guy is overated o. Though he won with his hit and run tactics, Ruiz remains a better fighter.
The bolded is absolutely wrong.

The better fighter won.

Ruiz is a great fighter, no doubt, but he doesn't have what it takes to win.

Let me remind you, this is a rematch. AJ underestimated Ruiz and was careless not knowing that fat Ruiz had great muscles to deliver very fast and heavy punches. AJ went too close and got KO.

AJ now knows the strengths and weaknesses of Ruiz, you don't expect AJ to make obvious mistakes by playing a game his opponent was physically better at.

AJ played a game he was physically and tactically better at. He has better reach and being taller, Ruiz can only defend while AJ avoids the heavy body punches.

You can't say Ruiz is a better fighter, if he was, he would have won. If Ruiz was better, he would have used another strategy to match the new AJ strategy, but Ruiz has no other strategy than the one he has. With AJ knowing the right strategy, Ruiz will never defeat AJ.

I slept oooo cos I was scared for Aj and I just woke and prayed before opening my Nairaland that Aj should win!!!! Baba God thank Sir . Am. So happy he won his belt back
I watched round 1, I feared AJ will get KO. AJ new he will be KO if he lets Ruiz close and he managed to keep the distance.

Ruiz is great, I give it to him but AJ has what it takes to win.

Wow, see traffic for this AJ and Ruiz fight o. The last time a thread generated this kind of traffic on nairaland was 2016 December when MMM was about to die. grin grin grin grin
The thread new page was faster than i could read and catch up. Before i finish reading 4 pages, there are 10new pages.

I watched the 1st round live stream but the link just stopped. I never got a working link again and decided to go with the updates.

I feared for AJ because of the speed of Ruiz punch. I knew if AJ makes a mistake, it will be KO. AJ studied Ruiz very well and took advantage while avoiding the speed punch.
Car Talk › Re: Please What Is FRSC's Stand On Google Map by adanny01(m): 7:32am On Dec 06, 2019
Personally am surprised at FRSC.

Banning the use of GPS is unlawful but the ban on using a mobile phone while driving is lawful.

My pain is that the Marshalls will use the lawful one to exploit motorist.

From the breaking story, the woman said the Marshall requested her to unlock her phone. This action of the Marshall was illegal. Her fine stood only because after unlocking her phone, the google app was active. That meant her offense was using Google maps which cannot be an offence.

I have used and still use Google maps without a phone holder. What i do is, I park or before my trip, I find my destination, press start then keep ny phone where I can glance at it to confirm my turns. Beside that, I get voice prompt response from the app which helps even if am not looking at the phone.

The issue is, if a marshall sees me, I don't have a phone on my hand. Is it an infringement?

Just like the Marshalls fine motorist for expired tire when the real offence should have been wornout tire. Or fining for shattered windscreen when the motorist has a hairline crack. This law will cause serious exploitation by Marshalls.
