Great service. I had doubts since there are no screenshots to prove her wrong. She did it a rate I haven't exchanged in my life 235naira per dollar. Far better than hinsenjos the bargainer. Will change more frequently in the future. If you need to vet her, I have all evidences of payment. It didn't take her 10mins to process everything. Package is different from package oo |

Use antifungal cream. Black thigh and jock itch is caused by fungi. After bath, apply and rub it throughout the affected area. Allow it to simmer well before going out. In three weeks you will see great results. |

cherylstun: join our review exchange group if you want to access the softwares https://www./1459869710995418/ Hi Cherylstun I am surprised and flabbergasted on stumbling on this thread. I must say this is my best Fiverr thread on nairaland, you aint no moneybag and you are ready to help and support a lot of fiverr aspiring and potential successes. I really appreciate this. I am a level 1 seller(about 2 months old) making about $200 a month. I offer video editing, article writing, proofreading and retyping of documents. I must confess, I am hardworking but my experience on fiverr is turning into labour without smartness. Why? Most orders were from article writing with less $$$. Cumulatively the money comes slowly. Seeing how you have helped people here, I am looking up to you. I am interested in the support and help you can give me on resources and softwares for theses accouunts you have gigs on: account 1:video commercials,video intros,and video animation account 2:seo.edu links,xrumer blast,blog commenting account 3:reviews,app reviews,kindle reviews,product reviews account 4: article rewriting,article submission Also, I have been thinking of other freelancing websites that offer more $$$ but I don't know how to go about it. I can't deny that I am making money on fiverr, but without progression in $$$, I feel my desire and motivation dying. On fiverr, esp. article writing niche you see people asking for 1, 000 words quality article for $5. I don't have to complain. I want to get better deals. Please help me!!! SOS! My email is andrewchase205@gmail.com I am looking forward to your response. The advice has always been to upgrade or improve services or gigs but none are ready to give good information especially from a practical Nigerian perspective.

oloriooko: [size=28pt]Are u so sure? how can a PDP chieftain say that to a PDP president?[/size] it was the bane of unopposed tickets without primaries in PDP then. Many candidates were withdrawn in favour of others for automatic tickets. This trend started with Jonathan, Governors became embroilled in it, others too want automatic ticket, people who can't get auto threatened fire and brimstone. Alhaji Lawal Keita made that statement, Reuben Agbati got wind of it and twisted it overnight by attributing it to Buhari. There existed a full scale war of words, then litigation. Sensing imminent liability on the heels of his appointment by the President, Agbati, Guardian newspapers and Co settled for out of court settlement. The Presidency made an apology as well as Agbati and the Guardian newspapers and the suit was withdrawn. Buhari failed to capitalise and circulate the apology that time, PDP capitalised on it and twisted it more through other channels and persons. But alas, the general is absolved. |

Oga oo, see head-to-head counting in this presidential marathon race between Sai Buhari and Johnny. Both candidates will meet the constitutional requirement of 25% in at least 24 states. The tussle will be on the basis on the person with the HIGHEST number of votes in the federation. Johnny's footsoldiers did a poor job of mobilizing people to vote unlike in the North and S/West States, the difference in turn out of voters in each region will determine. I predict that Sai Buhari will win this election no matter how PDP try to narrow the margin from S/South and S/West States votes. SAI BUHARI SAY BUHARI! |

Many people use earpiece, earphone and headsets. Hardly, will you go anywhere in Nigeria and not see a young chap, lad, guy, lady not flaunt his' or her's, even the old peeps don't carry las with the use of these wonderful gadgets. Yet, only a few understand the working principle of these gadgets or what is inside them. The proper Nigerian syndrome of "mystery" still becloud many people's sense of investigating, practicalising and proving technology either due to stereotypes, social barriers, religion, level of literacy, etc. This article brings to the fore, the working principles and fundamental designs of sound device from the minute unit to the bigger unit. Enjoy! Its not just for techie people but for all who uses these sound devices. Learn to live, learn to survive! [/code] [B][/b]Headphones by Chris Woodford. Last updated: September 27, 2014.[B][/b] [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/sennheiser_headphones.jpg[Img][/img] If you've ever been to a rock concert and heard music thumping out of giant loudspeakers, you'll know sound can pack a powerful punch. Sometimes, however, we want to enjoy music more quietly and intimately or in places where others don't want to hear what we're listening to. Trains and planes are noisy enough—just imagine the cacophony there would be if everyone sat with massive stereo systems in front of them! For times like this, headphones let us retreat quietly into our own imaginary worlds. Let's take a closer look at what's inside them and how they work!
[B][/b]Headphones: miniature loudspeakers fixed to your ears[b][/b] Headphones (which are often called "cans" by DJs and people who work in radio broadcasting) work in exactly the same way as speakers, so you might want to consult our article on loudspeakers if you're not sure how they use magnetism to turn electrical energy into sound. The biggest difference between loudspeakers and headphones is, of course, size. A loudspeaker needs to set all the air moving in a room so you can hear the sound it's making, but the speaker in a headphone only has to move the volume of air inside your ear canal. That's why it can be so much smaller and more discreet. Large headphones are essentially just two loudspeakers mounted on a strap that clamps firmly over your head. Earbuds work the same way but, as you would expect, everything inside them (the magnet, the coil of wire, and the diaphragm cone that makes sound) is shrunk down to a much smaller size. Speakers tend to be built into "enclosures" (as engineers call them— the rest of us call them "boxes" to amplify their sounds and keep them safe from damage. If you look closely, you'll see speaker enclosures usually have openings at the front or the back so air can move more freely in and out of them to generate decent sound. The same is true of headphones and earbuds, which come in two main types. As their name suggests, closed-back headphones are sealed at the back so (theoretically) no sound escapes (or leaks in from outside) while open-back headphones are open to the air at the back as well as the front. Many people find that open-back headphones sound better but much of the noise will leak into the room around you and annoy other people, while "ambient" noise from the room can easily penetrate open-back headphones and annoy you too. If that's a problem, you need closed-back headphones or noise- cancelling headphones, which make it easy to cut yourself off completely. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/earbudsb.jpg[Img][/img] [I][/i]Photo: A pair of earbud phones from an MP3 player. The metal gauze on the front is "acoustically transparent": it lets sound out without letting (too much) dirt and dust in. The backs of some earbuds are completely sealed to stop sound from escaping (so they're similar to closed-back headphones), though other earbuds do have small vent holes in them (making them equivalent to larger, open-backed headphones).[I][/i]
[B][/b]How earbuds work[b][/b] Taking broken things apart is a great way to find out how they work. [B][/b]If you're a young person, ask an adult first to make sure what you want to dismantle is really safe.[B][/b] 1. Here's my broken earbud and I've popped the back off it. You can see how the wires run up through the main case to the coil inside. We need two wires to make a circuit: one carries the current into the coil from the stereo; the other carries it back again. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/earbud2.jpg[Img][/img]
2. Next, I've tipped the earbud over and popped the front cover off. The front cover is a plastic disc with holes in it to let the sound enter your ear. Just behind it there's a very small cone. It's hardly cone-shaped, though: it's a flattish, transparent disc made of very thin and flexible plastic, and it's quite crinkly and crackly when you move it. You can just see the tiny metal coil (colored red) attached to it. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/earbud3.jpg[Img][/img]
3. In summary, then, these are all the bits that make up your earbuds: [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/earbud4.jpg[Img][/img]
Back case: holds everything together. The wires run up through a hole at the bottom. Front case: This is the part that faces into your ear. Sometimes it's covered with a little fabric pouch to keep it clean. Seal: This rubbery circle clips the front case to the back case, holding the two together. Wires: Carry signals from the stereo to the speaker. Magnet: The permanent magnet at the back of the speaker. This is the heaviest part of an earbud and makes up the vast majority of its weight. Coil: This becomes an electromagnet when electricity flows through it. Transparent plastic cone: This makes the sound when it moves.
[B][/b]What about normal headphones?[B][/b] As you might expect there's nothing radically different inside bigger headphones: they're just a scaled-up version of what you find inside earbuds.
[B][/b]How bigger headphones work[b][/b] As luck would have it, the arrival of my new Sennheiser headphones was followed quite quickly by the final collapse of my old pair. I could have repaired them, my friends, but in the interests of your curiosity, they've agreed to leave their insides to medical science! Let's see what we find when we open them up: 1. This is one of the two earpieces from my old pair of open-backed headphones with the light foam cover and the cable removed. Note that "open-backed" is a bit of an understatement for what you see here: the headphones are almost completely open to the air and built around a kind of plastic spoke design. The diaphragm that makes the sound is in the center. The open spokes radiating outwards are there to make the headphone the right size to cover your ear, without making it too heavy or uncomfortable. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/headphones1.jpg[Img][/img]
2. Now I've popped out the central part that contains the loudspeaker. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/inside-sennheiser-headphone2.jpg[Img][/img]
3. Break off the protective plastic "spokes" and you can see the transparent plastic cone/ diaphragm behind. You can also just see some small holes (beige dots) behind it that let sound out of the back and allow the diaphragm to move back and forth more freely. [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/inside-sennheiser-headphone3.jpg[Img][/img]
4. Now the painful part. Break open the diaphragm cone (it's much thicker plastic than the ones in earbuds) and you can see the coil (red band) fastened on to it and the permanent magnet (silver and gold) behind. The coil sits in the slot like a band running loosely around the outside of the magnet: [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/inside-sennheiser-headphone4.jpg[Img][/img]
5. Here's another shot of the diaphragm cone and the coil: [Img][/img]cdn4.explainthatstuff.com/inside-sennheiser-headphone5.jpg[Img][/img]

Good day Sunny, I have two mono crystalline solar panels which I salvaged. The power ratings are 24volts and 80wts each. I normally use it to charge mobile phones during the day via a re-modified dual usb car charger adapter. I desire to use it for more other purposes as well as storage and inverter applications. Kindly guide me on what other uses I could put the two panels to, what batteries I need and other things. |
