Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Forgive Yourself, and Slide back in

By -
Image
Most of us are familiar with the parable of the prodigal son in the Bible. You know how he foolishly asked for all that was his and how he wasteful spent it all. The question I want to ask is this: Which person in the story best describes you? Perhaps your inner life has been so transformed by God’s forgiveness that you can empathise with others and easily forgive like the father in the story, or perhaps, like the younger son, you’ve demanded God’s gifts and then run your way toward destruction. Maybe, you yearn to return to God, but you are fearful of rejection. Or perhaps, like the elder son, you look at others and say; “After all the horrible things they’ve done, how can God use them instead of me? No matter which person you identify with, no matter what your circumstance is, God wants to meet you in your need. If you have backslide, please slide back in. I know sometimes the hardest person you can forgive is the one you see in the mirror everyday (yourself). You simply can’t fo...

Lifestyle and Health Quotes, this Week

Just the way the laws of gravity remains true and universal, so is the law of money. It is the same and can be reproducible anywhere. You will never receive if you don't give. Every great person have, and is giving out something. Some great speakers spoke for free, some great writers wrote for free, some great preachers preached for free. Don't expect anything if you have not started giving something. By: Raphael Donanu

Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful.

The beauty of life

By -

Life is full of beauty, perhaps we've all failed to recognize it. The bumble bee, though naturally overweight to fly, still proves that indeed science has flaws. The resilience of a single mother of four that refuses to believe that a disadvantaged background amounts to a dysfunctional future for her kids. The smile from a newborn that arrives in a strange world, but believes he's going to be just fine. The undying zeal in the heart of a poor ghetto kid, though labelled "less likely to succeed", takes destiny into his own hands, fired up with the conviction that the world has a place for him. Smell the morning dew, Enjoy the sight of the sunrise, Refuse to follow the crowd mentality, Shun conventional wisdom, 99% of the time its wrong. Fight for your reality, you might not be fully awake to fight for your dreams. Strive to be a meaningful specific, not a wandering generality. Be obsessed with your passion and stay positive. Be happy to be alive....

Be Persistent and determined!

By -

Dear Entrepreneur, Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent won't; Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't; Unrewarded genius is practically a cliché. Education won't; The world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. Show that you don't have to be defeated by anything. That you can have peace of mind, improved health and never ceasing flow of energy. If you attempt each and everyday to achieve these things, the results will make themselves obvious to you. While it may sound like a magical notion, it is in you to create your own future. The greatest discovery of this generation is that "Human beings can alter their destinies by altering their attitudes of mind". Ralph Waldo Emerson says and I quote.. "A man is what he thinks about all day long." Persistence and determination is the essential ingredient to become abnormally successful. Prayer is...
