Fundamentals to modern buildings and design.

Fundamental to modern building designs are critical knowledge of the basics and advanced insight of a building layout.  This insights sprout up aesthetic buildings found in developed areas, most of which are built based on the geographical location of such areas and life style of the people. The life span of such buildings are also based on the design methodology, the soil test, the compressibility of the structure of which rebound hammer can be used as a testing instrument.

 As was said, “man is inquisitive to transformations” yes!. This course will take you through the changes and basics of a building design in recent time. The search for knowledge has lead to the advancement in modern building design. All things being equal, the knowledge here is not entirely new, its an upgrade to the aged building knowledge.

For a building to be structurally and aesthetically admired there must be a combined effort of some skilled professionals. One may ask, “if all engineers are needed in a building design and construction project, then, what’s the job of a computer engineerr?” this will be answered in this article as we proceed.

As we progress we will be looking at

101. Elements of a building 

102. Fundamentals to building Foundation 

103. Architectural drawing and building plans 

104. Fundamentals to building structure

RESET. The journey, 2020.

 Today’s Homily is about the journey, 2020 with the title RESET. I will be sharing my story as a voyage through the year 2020.

   Reset means to start again, it also means to reinvent. We all planed to succeed. As a veteran, you re-strategize your goals at every interval in other not to fade out among your contemporaries. Resetting is an opportunity for an awesome shift in life. When you refuse to reset, you’ve planned to crumble, when you refuse to reset you choose not to grow.

Merry Xmas in ADDY

Just like most persons, I planed 2020 with my goggles and goblet on my table with a long list of aspirations to crush. “While, did you crush them?” One may ask. Crushing wasn’t the problem but starting is always a challenge. As you read deep into my journey, note that Reset is an opportunity given as a child of God for reformation and alignment. Life is of a few years (job 14:1). Challenges shouldn’t make us derail from our ministry as a child of God.

In 2020 I haven’t scored a goal yet, even though I cant vividly tell you the last soccer I played, but at least I was part of a game!. And so are you. As far as there is life in you you are part of the game and you could give that dying minute winning goal or equalizing goal by simply resetting those wonderful strategies.  

Amidst the lockdown I recorded victories releasing some spoken word videos; “the human body” which emphasis was on the human body, racism, and this piece sprung as a result of the killing of George Floyd #blackLifesMatters. Secondly, “LOCKDOWN” was released. This is a wrap of the lockdown experience. You have to listen to the audio or watch the video. Thirdly, was the novel “BRIDES ARE BIRDS”. I Also recorded “Unspoken Words, Tales of an Iroko”, and many more when you go through the blog and the latest which is “Toll- Gate”.

Professionally, as a civil Engr under LIDPRESS ENGINEERING company, aesthetics and comfort are our goals. We design, build and we are also open for consultancy. Reach out to us.

As we rise above the 2020 crises with the plan of resetting, as we walk into 2021, here are some key areas to reset.

Key Area to Reset as 2020 Rounds off.

• Renew your mind constantly. Lamentation 3:22

• Take a break from the distractions of the world.

• Enjoy every little moment of 2020. It won’t be here again.

• Invest! invest in your self and also financially. Stop “bring two and win big” If you understand 🙄 you are a suspect 😀😅. Invest in stocks, bonds, and real estate and reap the returns later.

Finally, December is here. The season of celebration and a season where we unite and reset to make 2021 a splendid one. And don’t forget that CHRIST IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.

Peace, be still

 Life can be stress-free and at the same time stressful. Living isn’t awful but not in a world such as this, where lots of pain and hurts reigns within us.Take a look at the aquatic world or the birds in the sky, they seem to be in a different atmosphere, even the astronauts can relate better.

But fulfillment comes by His word. No matter the situation we are in, His love abounds to everyone.

While growing we experience stages in life where some difficulties are mere challenges, which can be struck out effortlessly on our list of challenges… but still on that cruising boat with your sunglasses and a glass of wine, closing out some cool deals as the cool morning breeze swirls by,

not knowing, it was the rising of a turbulent tide meeting you at the middle of the ocean with non on board. Just you alone. And your nerves are rising (which means you are not a good swimmer).

     This scenario applies to the disciples and Jesus in Mark 4:35-42. 

As they sailed across basking in the refreshing wind while Jesus was fast asleep on his soft furry pillow unaware of the crisis wrecking the boat.

The seawater splashing at its brim. With fear and trembling of drowning His disciples woke Him, saying, “Master, doesn’t it interest you that we are drowning?”
 As swiftly as possible He rebuked the wind saying, “Peace, be still!” and there was great tranquility. But then, He said to them “why are you filled with fear? Where is your faith?” 

And they flinched and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

     

       This is a remarkable 🤗🤗story at any time. What strikes me the most in this passage is PEACE. The word PEACE can be seen as a personality, an outcry, as harmony and the list goes on... 

What do you identify PEACE to, in that wiry storm?

In a world filled with chaos? What’s your state of mind in that complicated situation?

Your state of mind is proportionate to the actions outplayed around you, and your ability to be calm in-spit of the rage is the attribute of the holy spirit.

      Jesus didn’t call that storm by its identity he said PEACE (not storm) BE STILL.  You don’t Identify your pains by what they are if you want to defeat them. It triggers fear if you do. Identify your pains with what you want it to be.

If your business is dwindling, speak life "it's rising" and take actions to bounce back. This is so in every field. Your space is not the economic space, yours is different! Dream it! 

Jesus asked them “why are you filled with fear? where is your faith?”.

 On a battlefield, you conquer your opponent by its weakness and utilize its vulnerability.

Challenges may come in different ways, shape, and kind but are likened to one thing “victory”  (as far as your eyes can see. Gen13:14NLT)

 Be still and know that He is God. He always shows himself mighty. Even while you are cruising and there is a rising tide, it won’t overwhelm you. 

My Ernest prayer is “may affliction never rise the second time”. There is a victory to those who wait upon the Lord with songs of praises and rejoicing on their lips.

Toll-Gate

   As the peacefully initiated #ENDSARS protest draws to its climax, youths of Nigeria walked through the streets both at home and abroad, elevating hearts that YES! their voice will be heard without compromise, matching in unity as everyone was a leader with one voice seeking for justice with our words written on placards and every social media platform was a medium. 

   For the love of our brutalized youths, friends, brothers and sisters whose routs of glorious days and more to come ended up in the den of the special anti-robbery squad (SAR). #ENDSARS protest which migrated from #ENOUGHISENOUGH into a protest for good governance was seen hijacked by hoodlums under the disguise of some societal cabals. The trench of things rose into  an ethnic rivals  and the search for palliatives of which the raid was massive. 

   Joyfully, before the day of the unforeseen massacre, days of justice for all, days of jubilation fighting for a just course matching through towns and cities; as youths displayed their art, craft and uniqueness as Nigerians. The days of seeking for palliatives reviews the consensus in Nigerians as one, both the able and disable with their ingenuity to foster a course... but the worst of it was 20-10-2020 when our fallen youths slides through our mobile screens as sacs of tears clogs our eye gaze. In the brink of all this impromptu incident by ENDSARS protester this poetry was written by Jochris  declaring  NO TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND BAD GOVERNANCE 

Click: Listen to audio. 

I went silent for days

My anger was voiceless

My pain becomes me

I took pictures of my self and I saw pictures of misuse 

This body in its entirety is subject to HIS use.

In the eyes of our youths, I saw pictures of abuse 

The  liberty we wished, has been incarcerated with police abuse

Teardrops of our mothers over her Brutalized sons and daughters floods our river basins.

The dawn of a new morning leads to the interment of a promising youngster.

As the days of good fortunes washes away at  the toll gate

Sacs of tears clog our eye gaze

Seeing The scenery and the agony, as our fallen youths slides through our Mobile screens.

 

*Let it be known that*

Anthony died while standing tall at the toll gate 

*Let it be known that*

The Gunshots in jos, Nigeria also killed kunle in my area, for no just course

*Let it be known that*

Ahmad was picked up by SARS for buying an iPhone

*Let it be known that*

Taxi drivers became punching bags of frustration for lack of compensation.

With a unified heart 

I say (#ENDSARS) no to police brutality, over their barbaric activities.

#WeAreInThisTogether   #EndSars
