Decoding Your Car's Gear Shift: What's the Difference Between D and D3

Image
 Certain automatic cars have a D3 written on the gear shift, often found directly below or to the right of D. It's probably something you always skip over and never really thought about while running errands — or you're hoping to learn more about your car but can't seem to figure out how gears work in your automatic car. Simply put, D means drive. When you put your car in D3, that means you've set third gear as your highest setting, whereas you can reach every gear of your car in D. Basically, D3 is used when you're driving uphill, downhill, or in stop-and-go-traffic, ensuring your driving is more efficient — it's one of many ways to use less gas while driving. D3 limits your car from reaching higher speeds so you can ensure you're not speeding in certain areas, have better acceleration, and are easier on your brakes. D3 is ideal for driving speeds around 20 to 25 miles per hour — once you reach 30 or higher mph, you should switch back to D.  If you find you...

IYC alleges invasion, attack of Ijaw communities in A’Ibom

  The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, Worldwide, has raised the alarm over what they described as the “frequent unprovoked attacks and invasion of defenceless Ijaw communities in Akwa Ibom State by Eket militants.” In a press conference, the Spokesman of IYC, Amb Binebai Princewill, said the IYC will not negotiate the development and peaceful coexistence of the Ijaws in any part of the World including the safety of its people in Akwa Ibom for anything, adding that an attack on any Ijaw in Akwa Ibom or anywhere is an attack on the Ijaws in general and if the government fails to do the needful by calling the Eket militants to order, the Ijaw people will have no choice than to defend themselves. H e noted that it is high time the government of Akwa Ibom State takes the proper development of Ijaw areas more serious with massive appointment and empowerment of its people, noting that being politically propelled minority status in Akwa Ibom State should not be a yardstick for intimidation, ethni...

BIRTHDAY: Kendy Jumbo nicknamed

Image
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOUTS TO THE PRINCE OF PROSE, KENWORLD JUMBO  Today, we celebrate a young man destined for greatness, a journalist whose brilliance shines through every stroke of his pen. To me, Kenworld Jumbo is no ordinary writer. He is a master craftsman, a wordsmith whose ink flows with intelligence, creativity, and the power to translate thoughts through skillfully woven words into discernible reality.   With the gentle grace of his journalistic pen, Kenworld has the unparalleled ability to nurture an idea that seems like an acorn into a mighty oak-like intellectual piece. His writing genre simply builds, inspires, and transforms public opinions and private thinking. But, like the dual nature of fire, his pen does not only create—it devours evil. When Kendi or the people he loves and owes loyalty to are provoked or unjustly attacked, his pen wields a fiery sting, capable of shaking even the mightiest iroko tree to its roots.   As Edward Bulwer-Lytton ...
