Business / Garri Or Fish by missiret(f): 9:43am On Aug 26, 2020 |
Goodmorning everyone, I finished serving last month, I had a plan before I finished serving but the plan fell through and I'm now thinking of going into garri business, I want to have my own food brand, starting from packaging garri, there is this garri our neighbor do help us buy, it's a type of garri you can not just come across anyhow, very dry and crunchy, my mom introduced the garri to someone and since then, the person has been buying it and this made me think if it were the packaged one, the person will still be buying it and this gave me the idea of packaging it but my mom said it can't sell like that because garri is very common but I believe in my heart that this garri is not common at all, she said I should start selling packaged dried catfish but my thought is that not everyone eats catfish but both the poor and the rich buys garri and eat eba, this advice really confused me, which one do you think I should start packaging? which one do you think will sell faster? |

Education / Who Invented The Elevator by missiret(f): 8:04pm On Sep 20, 2018 |
The history of the elevator, if you define it as a platform that can move people and objects up and down, is actually a rather long one. Rudimentary elevators are known to have been in use in ancient Rome as far back as 336 B.C., with the first reference of one built by the talented Archimedes. These early elevators were open cars rather than enclosed ones, and consisted of a platform with hoists that would enable the car to move vertically. The hoists were typically worked manually, either by people or animals, though sometimes water wheels were used. Romans continued to use these simple elevators for many years, usually to move water, building materials, or other heavy items from one place to another. As for the dedicated passenger elevator, this was created in the 18th century, with one of the first used by King Louis XV in 1743. He had an elevator constructed at Versailles that would carry him from his apartments on the first floor to his mistress’ apartments on the second floor. This elevator wasn’t much more technologically advanced than those used in Rome. To make it work, men stationed in a chimney pulled on the ropes. They called it a “flying chair.” It wasn’t until the 1800s that elevator technology really started to advance. For starters, elevators no longer needed to be worked manually. In 1823, two British architects—Burton and Hormer—built a steam-powered “ascending room” to take tourists up to a platform for a view of London. Several years later, their invention was expanded upon by architects Frost and Stutt who added a belt and counter-weight to the steam power. Soon enough, hydraulic systems began to be created as well, using water pressure to raise and lower the elevator car. However, this wasn’t practical in some cases—pits had to be dug below the elevator shaft to enable the piston to pull back. The higher the elevator went, the deeper the pit had to be. Thus, this wasn’t a viable option for taller buildings in big cities. So despite the hydraulic systems being somewhat safer than steam-powered/cabled elevators, the steam powered ones with cables and counterweights, stuck around. They had just one major drawback: the cables could snap, and sometimes did, which sent the elevator plummeting to the bottom of the shaft, killing passengers and damaging building materials or other items being transported. Needless to say, no one was jumping to get on these dangerous elevators and so passenger elevators up to this point were largely a novelty. The man who solved the elevator safety problem, making skyscrapers possible, was Elisha Otis, who is generally known as the inventor of the modern elevator. In 1852, Otis came up with a design that had a safety “brake.” In the event that the cables broke, a wooden frame at the top of the elevator car would snap out and hit the walls of the shaft, stopping the elevator in its tracks. Otis himself demonstrated the device, which he called a “safety hoist,” at the New York World’s Fair in 1854, when he went up in a make-shift elevator himself and had the ropes cut. Rather than plummeting to his death as the audience thought might happen, his safety hoist snapped out, catching the elevator within seconds. Needless to say, the crowd was impressed. Otis went on to found his own elevator company, which installed the first public elevator in a New York building in 1874. The Otis Elevator Company is still known today as the world’s largest elevator manufacturer. While the cable elevator design has remained, many additional improvements have been made, the most obvious of which is that elevators now run on electricity rather than steam power, a change that came about starting in the 1880s. The electric elevator was patented by Alexander Miles in 1887, though one had been built by the German inventor Werner von Siemens in 1880. Otis’ safety hoist wasn’t the end of safety innovation, either. These days, it’s virtually impossible for an elevator to plummet and kill passengers. There are now multiple steel cables to hold the elevator’s weight, plus a number of different braking systems to stop an elevator from falling if the cables somehow snap. If, despite all these safety measures, the elevator does fall, there are shock absorbers at the bottom of the shaft, making it unlikely death will occur and reducing the possibility of serious injury. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/05/history-elevator/ 3 Likes

Romance / Re: His Siblings Versus Our Marriage: Is This The End Of My Marriage? by missiret(f): 9:32am On Apr 28, 2018 |
The first thing you must know is that you cant stop his family from visiting, family is everything to even to you, he is like the father of the house , it is your husband that should set boundaries for them, why would his sister Be disrespecting you in your home, though I am not married yet but I will never allow any of my siblings or even my parent disrespect my guy not to talk of my future husband, this is where patience and wisdom application comes in, wisdom is profitable in all things, so get wisdom, dont let them see you as a bad wife, it is just a matter of time, they too will marry one day and again how do u even expect his family members not to come to your house? Secondly, All women has a common problem including me, it is hard to see two guys living together having issues but women o, they will fight sa ni.. When it comes to marriage, it is easy for a lady to leave with her family members more than her in laws because what her sister will do to her and she will talk to her and even slap her and just forget, she may not b able to talk if it were the in laws simply because she wont want to offend them in the process of saying her mind and some in laws sef are just too insensitive, they just behave anyhow not knowing the consequence of their behaviors in the home, so family interference should be limited from both sides in the family |

Romance / Re: Love Is Not The Success Of Any Relationship by missiret(f): 7:06am On Sep 22, 2017 |
Yes, it is. Love is not about emotional attachment alone, inside love is patience, understanding, tolerance, meekness, respect and other good qualities. U can't say u love each other if u can't tolerate or respect ur partner. People don't know what love is, that is why they say love is not enough, It is more than enough. It is wen lov is gone that u begin to find fault in ur partner, u can no longer tolerate and understand ur partner. 1 Like |
