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...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year. The session was on Olajumoke Adenowo. ---------- (Diligent Amaka speaking) Olajumoke Olufunmilola Adenowo (born in 1968) is an award-winning Nigerian architect, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, as well as a speaker, radio host, and author. She is the founder of the boutique architecture and interior design firm AD Consultin, based in Lagos, Nigeria.

ATF runs Camp Dawn...

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

What are you going to do for Someone else's Freedom?

By -
Image
I am skinny and I don't like cold. My lips quiver, my speech seizes, my nose shoots out mucus with every sneeze and I think my metabolism stops too, except my kidneys. It starts to produce urine like a liquor factory. The toilet must be within few paces away. Where there's no toilet, I can't handle myself when you put me in a cool room. My feet grow numb, I may have to postpone my presence at a meeting or a discussion to use the bath or the bush. I can cope with no fan or air conditioner all year long. Just give me a damn sweater and a wooly duvet, I'll be good for all seasons! But there is another type of cold I've grown used to. It's the place my unconventional ideas push me when I ever open my mouth. It's a damn cold feeling to be ostracised by people who once used to give you a warm hallelujah when you said something they agreed with. Now, no chants of acceptance, no chorus of praise, no little short speeches telling you how wonderful you are. You ar...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

By -
Image
"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

They cannot harm You, only You can!

By -
Image
People who think you'll not amount to anything in life aren't the problem. The problem begins the moment you allow their opinion into your head. People who think you are proud, disobedient, arrogant or useless aren't the problem. The problem starts when you start bothering yourself about their misconceptions. You'll begin to live the moment you allow people to be entitled to their opinions while you keep pursuing your dreams. Remember, no soothsayer, no matter how highly placed, can determine your future. It's in your hands! By: Olusola Opeyemi

Honest Self Reflection helps Us Grow

By -
Image
Deep self-reflection is at the core of the spiritual healing process. It involves holding a mirror up to one's own activities, beliefs, assumptions and judgements about their lives. It is about developing an awareness of the limits of your knowledge and being extremely mindful that the truths you hold about the nature of reality may not be universally held. Reflection is a spiritually humbling process that opens our inner eyes to the underlying paradoxes that make up the beliefs that we hold so dearly. Honest reflection also creates an awareness that attracts the right kind of people and sequence of events that bring the needed growth in your life. By: Uchenna Ilo

You have to be the Complement of Whom You Desire

By -
Image
You may come across a good person, a sincere lover, who's interested in you, but you're not ready at that moment, and end up losing him to someone else who's ready.. You're not ready because of the negative configuration that your past relationship(s) has created for your mind and it really shows in your attitude (I personally always detect it no matter how much you try to hide it). You have to take responsibility for the outcomes of your past relationships. And by this, you take POSITIVE actions not to be a victim of such again. Look into yourself critically, you'll see the wrong choices you made that led to the failed relationship(s). Learn from it, and make a wiser choice when someone comes seeking your attention. Understand what you NEED (pay less attention to your wants) and be the person that will complement the person you need by developing yourself and working on your limitations gradually. If you'll say that it's difficult to know who's true, I...

Attitude is Everything by Jeff Keller

By -
Image
Jeff Keller's Attitude is Everything, is another great book to read. Before I read this book, I thought it's going to be all about attitude (a person's behaviour, character as I understood it). It is all about attitude anyway, but a broader scope of it, one that I hadn't imagined and understood till I read the book. There's so much to learn, know, gain, from reading books. People who don't read books, or who hate reading are kinda dead in knowledge and such death most times reflects in their attitudes, which is a product of the vacuum in their mindsets. As I've done with the other books I've written about, I'll share a few of the many that can be learnt from Keller's book. • One's attitude is the person's window to the world. It's just how the person sees and perceives the world. Everyone was born with a clean mental window, one devoid of dirt and stains. As some persons (a lot of persons actually) grow up, the window gets dirty. ...

Please, take me back

By -
Image
Jane: I miss John. I sometimes feel like I made a mistake breaking up with him. Jennifer: But he was hitting you. Jane: I know, I know, but I still miss him. Jennifer: Don't you even think of going back, he's a monster. You don't love him, at least not anymore. Jane: Then why do I still miss him so? Jennifer: Deep down in you, do you want him back? I mean, after the battering and all? Jane: (few minutes silence) Now I'm confused. Have you ever missed something, and yet not want it back? Have you ever missed a past relationship, an ex, a past life, and yet, still not want it presently? It happens all the time. It's important we understand that missing something is different from loving and wanting something. You miss that person, that relationship, that life you once loved BECAUSE of the beautiful memories, the good times you probably shared or experienced; the ups, the gifts, the funny and nice way they made you feel. On some days, we miss people and stuffs,...
