The writers are sick. I don't how it fares in the book, but these masochist inclinations of theirs is taken too far.
First the red wedding, now this.

Sansa is rag doll for all comers.If life with Jeoffrey didn't toughen her nothing else would. I am hoping Reek snaps out of it and dispatch that beast called Ramsay.

sage1000:
Who do u think d 3 dragon riders are.

I'm thinking Dany, Jon and Tyrion

I didnt know they had cockpits.

gj22:
Wait. Am I the only one rooting for Stannis? Come on nairaland Stannis Baratheon is awesome and a wise man.

Stannis is overly reliant on Melisandre. He is ruled by what the 'Lord of Light' wills. Melisandre may come up with her own agenda along the way.
My money is on Danearys any day; she has a fearless army, 3 yet to be tamed dragons and a respected bloodline.
I foresee strong alliances being forged soon.

kay9:

Very funny.
Ok, ask me nicely...

Pray tell, kind sire.
I know how impossible it is to translate a book to movie. I learnt bitterly with James Clavell's 'Shogun'. The mini-series was a dissapointment for me after the book. The moment I start GOT on Kindle, the series will be a waste of time. I prefer to enjoy the TV series first.

Gbola5:


She needs to embrace that she is the blood of the dragon. She needs to show she's a true Targaeryen. She needs to show them she can dominate them and not be in fear of them. Dont worry, wait till episode 9 i think something will happen.

I hope so. I hate to see those dragons having a mind of their own.

Does Khaalesi still have any control over her dragons? One has gone rogue, two others are still tamed with chains. What happens when she needs to call them to war, if they dont listen to her any more? I think she needs the service of wargs or whatever the 'book crowd' calls them.

That would be Gbenga Adeboye, the funniest Yoruba man ever!

The law of nature!.

You contradict yourself. Nature encourages self preservation, survival of the fittest. You eschew killing and embrace suicide . I guess you will "rather commit suicide than kill yourself" a la mama P.

joseph1832:
My dear if your soul is truly enlightened you will know that the taken of a human life is a taboo, no matter the circumstance. Unless that life is given willingly by the one who possess it (not cajoled into giving it).

You must be joking. By what law?

The web is dark and full of spoilers.

LordReed:
I have a variation of this question I would like you to consider EnlightenedSoul.

You are attacked in your home by five armed bandits. After robbing the family they decide to rape your daughter, in the process they discard a gun within your reach. Your only option is to kill the bandits if you must stop them from raping your daughter. What would you do?

Your scenario is not similar to the OP's. Your house is under seige, your daughter about to be ravished, possibly you end up being killed before the robbers leave. Maternal/Paternal instinct, self preservation all comes to play. You kill all five without any qualms. You go to church for thanksgiving. . Only a coward would refrain from this course of action.

Viva! Baba Miliki.

Hello Richmond, nice project you have going on there.
But you need more than 36 pcs of the solar modules. That battery size is massive.

DUNKA:
gooodday please how can I get d water filler for flooded batteries?

You will get it on amazon. Search for OTC 4621 Two-Liter Battery Filler.

kastonkastrol:
I Think there was a chaotic situation between the subscribers of igando estate and LBIC which received deposits from the subscribers. Fashola was asked to intervene between the two parties. Seriously I don't know what happened after that but I think the numerous petitions halted the completion of igando estate.

Anyway fashola really did great in lagos

I had the unfortunate misfortune of subscribing for the igando/egan scheme since 2009 through LBIC with full payment. Today its remains an abandoned project said to have been taken over by Fashola.
This scam being pictured here was only started last year and here it is being commissioned. Lagos state government is one big scam. This project is for them and their cronies.

Marpol:


Ever heard of solar powered inverter?

No I havent please educate me.

A home in the middle of a tropical rain forest? Can it be run without electricity? How much diesel needs be burnt to keep the generators going? Ironic for someone going green. This is an artistic statement from Kongi, not a practical home.

bintsdeyi:


Thanks @Akanniade, its a new . I don't understand what u mean by voltage drop btw and Charge Controller, I'm a novice in ds, all I do is charge and use whenever necessary.

Voltage drop may be due to your wire gauge being too small wrt distance from to C.C. It means you may be losing power along the cable.
You should check the cable ts as well.

bintsdeyi:
Pls help me house

I have 1200W Inverter, 120watts Battery, 100Watts mono solar .
If I use generator to charge d battery, I could power a TV and a ceiling fan for abt 7hrs, but if I depend only on d solar to charge d battery for a whole day on a nomal sunny day like today in Lagos, I can't power d same TV set and a ceiling fan for more than an hour
Pls can any one help tell me why I can't enjoy this solar ?
Thanks

It's still the classic mistake of improper sizing. You should first check the voltage drop between your and C.C. Check for shading , dust cover on the .Also that battery is small for the loads you want to run for 7hrs.

c0ogumo:


I said Some calculations don't really apply in real world because we make so many assumptions when calculating Solar size and Battery bank size.

1. Power Consumption:
The power consumption on a TV may be 250W. That does not mean that the TV would consume 250W continuous. It may reach 250W at start up and then back to 200W.
Again for 30HP pump. We calculated that 1HP is 750W x 30 = 22500W. We dont know how old this pump is ....maybe the pump would consume more or less we don't know. We need to actually measure the consumption at startup and again after about 15 mins to actually figure out the consumption of the pump.
Some people may the thinking its good to over-design the system, Yes its good for a DIY/Small project..... but for 30HP pump running 24/7 thats not a joke.

2. Battery Sizing
So many labeled 12V 200AH batteries out there are just 150 or 160AH battery. I know the secret behind all these cheap batteries. The Chinese manufacturers add glass to the battery to make it the weight of a 200AH battery. How do we for this in our calculation?.So people please watch out when picking your batteries.

3. Solar sizing
The installation of your s is another critical thing. It has to be installed correctly to make sure there is no shade. shade could reduce the energy harvest by 50%. Its has to be at the correct angle. How do you for a 250W putting out 150W in your calculation.

4. Wiring
After doing a the calculations and thinking everything is correct, if you do not use the correct wire size, you wont get the desired output.

To round it up, all the assumptions we make when sizing our system is good if we are installing a small system. For a very big installation, everything has to be right or we could be throwing millions in the drain.

I hope this answer you question richmond74.
Guys please drop your comments

It wasn't a question. He was emphasising your point. Lots of folks don't do proper sizing mainly from financial constraint. I think it's time government do a mass importation of solar products for people to buy at discounted rates.

GeorgeD1:

akanniade,
nice to see but have you thought about possible wind loading on your roof structure occasioned by the stepped angles of the s?

I guess time will tell. The prevailing wind though, is from the west.

Thanks GeorgeD.
The north side roof holds the remaining 6 s.
Kudos to Richmond74, he did a fantastic installation.The harvest on the north roof is just as good as the south.

These water filler for flooded batteries, makes filling stressless. It stops water flow once cell level is reached. So far I have topped up twice in one year.

It's a 24x 255w installation. He finished installation 3 days ago. I will post performance later.

JUO:
Bros good work, is the hanger adjustable?

No it's not. To be candid it was a rather frustrating effort
The welder could not translate the idea to reality.
I had to call on Richmond74's expertise, as I had no more space except the roof.

Changed my battery bank to Trojan and lined up the s along the driveway (it's a new house).

I observed drop in harvest over the last one year from the 3.2kw solar array due to shading. It could not keep up with the battery bank(39.36kvah).

I have been doing upgrades thru last year.

Hello everyone!
@George D . Long time bros
It's good to see every one is doing upgrades.

Hi all,
Great thread but seems like its getting dull already,... i hope not.
I have been using inverter for the past 13 years now but only on a small scale and i feel like expanding soon as i see alot of pple now prefer solars.
Currently i have 4 100ah gel batteries connected in parallel with a 12v 1000watts mod sine wave inverter and an external charger(2 spoilt and one local which i dont like as its unstable).
I will like to know if i can use another brand of batteries and amphour rating in conjunction with my present batteries while reconnecting to match the ah of the new ones, or it has to be same brand and ah rating all over, as it can be hard to get bulk quantity of same battery brand here in ghana, and i never for once seen a 200ah deep cycle battery here, max is 100ah.
Also, i will be needed a 3kw to 5kw inverter with high/fast charging capacity which is not on the high side cost-wise, as there is a decent(not so decent now) amount of electricity availability per day.
Also will want to know how to connect the battery to inverter(new one) using circuit breakers alongside.
Please bear in mind that i may chose to involve solar s at later time as solar are so expensive here, like 650-750 GHS for a 120watts as at now, so will need an inverter which can also solar installation.
Thanks and all input will be appreciated.

You did not state how long you've had your present batteries. If it's over 6 months, it's not wise to add a fresh batch. You should just do a replacement.
The C.B is connected from battery + to inverter +. Make sure it's a dc breaker with.
You can just take a trip to Lagos and buy all you require.

I still stand with letting Bill live. Bill stands to live a more wholesome life. The harvested organs may fail their recipient or add just some extra years.

The 2 other scenarios requires instant decisions. You judge solely by number.

Simple, I can't kill Bill because he is not in my path, he is not in my track, not in same room.
Same reason you don't feed every homeless guy in street 'cause you have enough cash.

P.S Funny that I saw kill Bill vol 2 last night. Eye patch vs blonde part

Number 12 is ma thing!!!...

Why? Only to become firewood or worst still charcoal or another man's coffin.

No he didnt. Yemi Sodinmu did in ogun state.
