BluntCrazeMan:
[s]As we already know, in a situation where there was no foundation chaining-beam constructed before the filling of the foundation, it had always been a common practice to block-off the holes in the block-works (especially when hollow blocks were used in the block-works) while filling the foundation with laterite soil, and also during the casting of the DPC floor.[/s]

I am now asking...
Is there anything wrong in filling the holes of the foundation block-works with the laterite soil while the filling of the foundation was going on.??
..
In fact, what exactly is the main reason why the holes in the foundation block-works are being blocked-off during the filling of foundation with Laterite??
.

Five (5) pages and no straight answer to your question.
You know why? You can't learn Engineering on the pages of a social forum.

For starters, there is no relationship between absence of "chaining beam" and filling of pore spaces in hollow blocks.

To your question. Straight answer is there is nothing wrong in filling the voids in hollow block wall with any sort of materials your imagination an suggest. If there was, construction methodology textbooks would have prescribed that brick layers ensured that nothing drops within the hollows while laying.

Go back and pick up your books on "Strength of Materials" for clearer understanding on why Engineers use one type of material instead of the other. Like why wood instead of Steel?

Now there is a difference between Partition block wall and a load bearing block wall. Truth is that 99.9% of the design and building construction you see today in accordance to BS8110 doesn't utilize load bearing walls. So the block wall in the foundation you referred to are just Partition walls. Whether you use hollow blocks or Solid blocks it makes no structural difference. So its not considered in the design.

Use of hollow blocks was just to save costs. But it's so easy to bore a hole through for thieves to penetrate. That answers your question as to the origin of filling with broken blocks and pouring in weak concrete.

Thanks boss. Meaning for a situation like this I'll have to make sure I write my code in a manner that's compatible with different browsers and in this case (background), I'll have to spell everything out individually right?

Sure.
You keep testing your codes till you get the one that has a perfect fit for more browsers and devices (PC, tablet, Mobile).
Same reason Developers end up learning a Stack of languages as one language might have the perfect fit to a cross-platform responsiveness and another language overs him all round coding flexibility.

Bahat:
Notepad++
VsCode
Windows terminal
Edge/chrome
Xampp

I endorse the above combo.
But I would jump to add:

MySQL Workbench
Tableau
Jupyter notebook
MS Office
CorelDraw
Google Sheets offline
Git

It's another day D!

I finished another module today, and its contents include:
1. How to style images and image layout.
2. Gradient - Linear and radial.
3. How to stack multiple backgrounds.
4. Filters - greyscale, blur, e.t.c.
5. Adding and styling SVGs.

I encountered a browser compatibility issue today, I actually tried using shorthand for the background property with different attributes, it didn't work on Microsoft edge which I have been using since I started this journey, but it worked on Google chrome.

I ain't touching Microsoft Edge ever..

Later D!

That is the essence of website responsiveness.
Your code has to display properly on most browsers not one.
Well done sir

The fate of Nigeria in the next ten years. I just feel for future Igbo girls who would be married off to jihadists. Prepare for names like amaka Umar and ezinne abubakar.

Of their free will.
Lured by money. Encouraged by their Mothers who suffered same fate and their Fathers desperately in need of a lifeline.
But let the future speak for itself. I am not a self acclaimed prophet. After all, Man proposes and God disposes.
Igbo, God's chosen people, have a history of turning the tides in their favor. Let's watch, God's will.

Leece:
So

I have applied for a lot of jobs as I said earlier, got shortlisted for most but it just feels as though I can't get past the first level of assessment. Before you know it, rejection mail don land.

I'm in a fix right and I believe most people are so please share your thoughts and let's us all learn from you.

These are entry level jobs requiring aptitude test. One job opening receiving over 5,000 applications. The recruiter can't even read beyond 50 CVs. So even 1st class holders won't make the shortlist.

A for aptitude test. It not even related to the specific job applied for most times but just a ploy to weed off excess applicants and this ends up being counter productive for the Employer.

What's your area of interest? If IT, good. Register on upwork and fiverr and offer your service. You earn some money but the main aim is to acquire on the job experience. This will move you away from seeking EntryLevel jobs. Then you can go back and polish up your CV to re-enter the job market. You can apply for remote jobs so you are not limited to Nigeria. Look out for Bootcamps, they will help you more than Certifications.

Please I really want to know what this is all about i stay alone in my room and most time when I sleep and wake up I will see this little blood stain on the floor, I will clean it and mob my room each time I see that then after like two,three days I will see another one in the room the are always close to the bed and the form is just on the floor, the room is tilled

Drug deal gone wrong

You are perfectly right.
The crypto trading was just a cover up for the kind of Cash and lifestyle at his disposal. Check his trading record he might be losing more than he gains. And if he has a net gain it might not exceed $100k yearly which is not enough for the kind of lifestyle flaunted on installation.

"overtake humans in every aspect" Hell No. Never.

AI will never have a soul. Just like humans whom have abandoned their creator and think we could be greater than God, Robots might at some point in their evolution also think they can overtake man but it won't happen. Man is limited, so what man creates will be even more limited.

AI is at the level where it's being designed to learn and as such make its own decisions/actions that were not pre-programmed. Now, that decision could be very very wrong because it depends on data gather. So "garbage in garbage out" would still be a problem for AI despite the advancement in machine learning. So basically Man's intervention will always be required.

Can AI pro-create (AI make AI)? Like based on ML it decides its going to create a Robot with ability to also learn and do whatever it decides?

Biological Cloning of humans is what has the potential for "overtaking man in EVERY ASPECT " but it has come under some heavy regulation plus results have been far from perfect. If it had been at least we would have seen a growth in its adoption for Animal production. Same heavy regulation would soon apply in AI.

WeNoGoDie:
Report the animal to the police else he will never learn his lesson. He won't die in the police but he will certainly learn his lesson and stop after the disgrace. You can be certain he has done this to other underage girls in the family and outside.

First of all visit the girl and her mother in a secret location. Ask the girl what happened while you secretly record it with your phone so she can't deny when her dad threatens her. That way you have hard evidence cos her dad will make her not to speak.

Way to go.
Good advice

Datacamp will be free for 3 months.

You can work on industry project and advance in your Data career.

If you have your official school email. Then apply for GitHub student developer pack. https://education.github.com/pack

Those who commit heinous crimes and those who sit back minding their business while such evil is perpetuated on the land will both pay with their bloods. It starts with you running from imam to pastor and to native Doctor seeking solution to unending problems and affliction.
Refrain from Evil, they will not hear.
The blood of the innocent will demand justice.

Even common armed robbers will not use their last base knowing that one of them didn't make it back from their last operation, then it is ESN you want us to believe will do such. The same allegations were being reported about SARs and we thought it was a joke. The commission of enquiry is still on and more atrocities are piling yet again. Which direction Nigeria <<<===

zombieHUNTER:


This unstable fellow again
No wonder his ex is demanding custody of their kids with 3.5 m monthly allowance..

How can a normal human being put Kanu Igboho ( freedom fighters) and Kyari ( police officer)in the same category..

Kanu a British citizen was kidnapped in Kenya with the help of the Kenyan government ofcourse

Kyari is needed by an American court to help the FBI with investigations concerning Hushpuppy.

He came out saying he's innocent and never took money from anyone.. he's a super cop.. I believe him.. that's the more reason he should help a fellow law enforcement agency get to the root of the case.

Or I'm I missing something?..

Well said, BUT
You are missing the kind of stuff FFK smokes

This is to those commentators yelling GOD; learn physics.

1 - The victim wasn't speeding, hence, the impact of gravity wasn't intense.

2 - The tumbling (down the slope) as well slowed intended pressure of gravity, which means, the slope isn't a long distance slope.

Chances of survival in this scenario is 95% possible, this is why all passengers in the car survived. But if he had been on top speed, Chances of survival will be 50% and if that slope was a long distance slope; that would have been a DEAD END.

Whatever you think is your point will varnish when I pray you find yourself in exactly the same situation , let's know if your physics theory will keep you alive to tell the story.

People have died from their vehicle Summersaulting on the road without descending a cliff. There could have been a fire which will wipe away your 95% theory.

If you want to argue existence of God, just say Amen to the prayer I have made for you.

My boss called me into his office and said he will like to bring his children down to Ib, but while they are around, he wants them to learn the French language and some ICT skills.

Note: School children are presently on holidays.
He asked me to browse for French and computer schools around but to my surprise, none is available.

Then my brain clicked! This is a business idea for someone who is looking for job vacancies. You can start a French school this summer, you don't have to be perfect in the language, just start learning it on Duolingo for free and come out to teach these children during the day. I would have considered it myself but my 9 hours and other things I'm into won't give me time.

Give it a try!

There is an opportunity (business idea)
But the question is the viability. Do you have data to test the viability of this opportunity. How many persons are interested. And how many of these persons will still be interested when asked to pay.
These are 1st stage consideration before considering your costs (location transportation etc). Then you can plunge if the numbers are good/fair

eduj:
so civilians should go after him (James nwafor) abi ?

By the way, why haven't your much beloved Federal government done anything tangible to address issues like James Nwafor (whom has gone missing) and other murderous police men ?

James works for them obviously including the guy you quoted. He is their friend

MNK is their enemy

[quote author= post=104333859]Guess the evil politicians he served under are the ones protecting him.


If there is an adjective to use instead of evil, it would have been so apt.
James Nwafor is more than evil.[/quote]Yen yen yen yen you keep yapping.

This is the same man that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu helped to expose.

In all the long post you shamelessly avoided telling us why your beloved president GMB has not deployed our enormous resources to kidnap this James instead of MNK.

Daalu nwanne! Okwu gi dara uda. We believe in Anambra. Nke a bu nke anyi... but like I said, ezi eteka. Let's create our own and stop comparison and conclusions without data. You can see our airport, Akpokue did great. It's for Anambra but when we try to say that it's the best in Nigeria, it appears as if Nigeria has the best Airport in Africa... why cant we challenge ourselves with Airports outside Africa? Just Milan province in Italy is serviced by 3 Airports. I've used Linate several times, if you see infrastructure eh... that's why I said that ezi eteka... Nigeria isnt our standard. We believe that we can do it better. When we were producing guns and co during the war, our reference wasnt Nigeria. Go to Aba, they dont refer to Nigeria in their science and technology. Nnewi nko?

The day I visited Mobil Lube Plant at Marine Beach, Apapa, I marvelled.

Remember that comparison might be a sign of low esteem. The flyover bridges that Kano is building is the first of it's kind in Nigeria. What Ambode did at Oshodi is the first of it's kind in Nigeria. Let's do same...we can!

Igbo bu igbo ekenee m unu!

You will be shocked when you see the person you are arguing with in reality. You will feel offended with yourself not him.
I dropped my earlier comment because your maturity was commendable as you refrained from joining in or being dragged into dishing insults.
I bet you, most of what you wrote was not read neither are they interested in researching some of your points before arguing with emotions.
But allow me exit by saying that if we are matured then we must continue to pray and have hope in the societal subset that GMB calls "lazy youth". My people say "when you wake up is your morning". You see those lazy youths, they will wake up soon and understand that arguments are meant to educate and not "won".
Shalom

Jisi Ike... But it's better you stop all these comparison. Celebrate your little win though but not saying that Jezco produces 1/3 of lubes used in Nigeria. As at last year that Onowu Neni died, I mean Tonimas, he was the chairman of LUPAN. Yet his gigantic lube plant at Aba will not boost of 1/10 lubes produced in Nigeria. Get your data and information well, it get why

My brother I read it over 4 decades ago that if you go arguing with a mad person you will end up having two mad people in a conversation. Nobody including themselves will make any sense out of their conversation.

1/3 of what ? ? What is the total Consumption of lubricants in Nigeria. Does Mobil oil have data of Oil sales by Forte , Texaco, Tonimas, Seaman talkless of Jezco having this fact in order to reach such a statistical conclusion via a 3rd party blogger trying to earn some coins.

As a people we lack professionalism. I am not talking Ibo or Yoruba. Black race more like. I see the ethnic patriotism you were trying to show the OP but he can't understand it. "The journey is still far". Ibo's a fantastic business people found everywhere in the world. But that doesn't mean they win in every Statistics.
But seriously I don't understand why the OP is trying to corner you or reduce this thread to another ethnic jingoistic venture between Ibo and Yoruba.
I know the Jezco plant in Awka and I so much appreciate him for siting that plant in Awka as an Anambra man. Tonimas is from here but sited in Aba. We won't trash him for that, its business not charity. Seaman is sited in Oba and the list goes on I can't remember where Arthur Eze lubricant is located but is as old as Tonimas.
The corrections /criticism you gave were valid and should have been welcomed by OP in good faith to improve his reportage

viralmaged:
Hello OP , if truly you are a Developer , there is a link on my Signure , click it , answer the Question with honesty and share your promo link to other devs . You are on your way to Winning a MacBook Pro or a $1k
This is an Honest advice

What is the essence of your post. Just so you can pick some coins of your survey gig, you want to deceive OP that this is a possible solution to his problem. And you condescending tell him "if truly you are a Developer".
The young man has just earned his place in a Training that wasn't free to enter and that isn't enough proof of his being a Developer until he clicks on your silly link so you can stand a chance to win $1000.
Go and borrow sense because it's only in your dream you will win that $1000 the scam of a survey site is advertising.

My boss returned on Friday and he was informed that I had been hired, he asked if anyone had interviewed me to know my capabilities or told me to design, they replied No. He was furious
He faced me and told me we will see on Monday and I know that means I'll be interviewed on Monday.

Please what can I do ?
Because quite frankly I don't want to lose the job, it's one of the few paying PPAs in my state

This is the moment you would find out if you are a fast learner like you think.

Here's a very simple solution to your problem:
There are many graphics design shops around town, especially the area where printing happens. Go there with a Calendar and locate someone to train you. When you get there show the Guy the calendar a tell him /her you want to design that and ask how much (should be around N2k). Then tell him you are ready pay N10k if he can teach you how to design the Calendar yourself and tell him the story you just laid out here. Hopefully he accepts the challenge and in a day or two you should be perfect designing that Calendar. Take a note because you have lots of steps to write and names of icons on the GUI of coreldraw to note. Also Calendars are about the biggest gigs in a Graphic design shop. Posters, Label are nothing if you can handle a calendar.
You should find someone who is available to take up your challenge. Also Framing your training around the Calendar job will help you kick out "fake it till you make it" Coreldraw Tutor that would scam you in the name of teaching you Coreldraw.
Best of luck in your journey into the Design world.

Jerryherd:
Most Ipobians are stupid so I don't take offense in their ignorance and stupidity

British citizens that joined ISIL outside UK soil got full punishment but dunce Ipobians don't know that

His lawyers in UK would go to court that he was abducted in Kenya by Uhuru Kenyatta's government, and Kenya's government would give evidence why they felt he was in their country to promote terrorism... And believe me if Kenya Government opens up then he is finished completely in the UK

You talk like you know but truth is you are so ignorant and most of what you say shows you don't understand international or common law.
Also try to get your facts right especially when dropping it on a public forum with a wide audience. ISIL is declared as a Terror organization by UK but IPOB isn't (FACT) so UK would frown at her citizens joining ISIL but not IPOB.
ISIL committed acts of terror against British citizens and interest which IPOB didn't. So any British citizen showing allegiance to ISIL might be treated as an enemy of the British state. However there is no British citizen sentenced just for being an ISIL member rather they were duly tried for criminal acts against the state such as their direct participation in the killing of British citizens.
Do not allow hate fill your mind, it would only consume you. You can only help Nigeria by upholding truth and good conscience. Truth will always prevail.

festacman:
I have a strong feeling that Kenya's Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta wouldn't have handed over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria's Pres. Buhari if he didn't get UK's approval.

The fact is that Kenya is a strong member of Commonwealth Organization and Uhuru Kenyatta having escaped ICJ indictment recently wouldn't have willingly got entangled in international law scandal or in diplomatic row with UK because of Nigeria or even Pres. Buhari. No, that's not possible. So, the earlier IPOB's lawyer realized that Nnamdi Kanu is a victim of international politics, the better it is for him to stop wasting energy, time and money going back and forth with UK's diplomats in Nigeria.

Moreover, I don't think Pres. Buhari postponed his scheduled medical appointment because of Kanu's arrest because he could have kept the matter in the cooler and then show Kanu to the public after his trip.

Exactly my thoughts. UK foot and hand prints are all over the Kenya /Nigeria abduction.

The Establishment can always get away with any atrocities, But..... . We know what happened to Princess Diana. Even when they thought they did a clean job, till this day that house/empire is still haunted. A Prince suddenly renounces his royalty and the drama has only just begun.

Let's watch and see how this new soup opera pans out. Which ever way it goes the name "Nnamdi Kanu" will be remembered for generations

Godada:



I feel she should be given a job as a pundit on one of the numerous tv stations where she could do a job that she is passionate about.

Such patriotic gesture should not be swept under the carpet.

Her boss must have been livid and couldn't help but fire her ass. I have had to deal with such workers though. I didn't fire them on the spot but until I got a capable replacement

There are many jobs in the UK that won't require a reference from previous employer. So can she find a new job? Sure, definitely.

But there is no intending employer who would approve of her action talkless of offering her appointment. Nothing can justify dishonesty, not in the UK.

She might be too young to know, reason she is excited posting the details of her sack online. This act would even cause her to lose a political appointment in future if her opponent brings it up.

Just wondering if Bobrisky remember to ask his/her doctor what the body will be like when aging.
Ladies, next time you use a toilet in a restaurant or airport be careful the person next to you could be Risky-Bob
