• During flight, if one of the pilots needs to use the toilet, a flight attendant will be call upon into the cockpit, the pilot who needs to use the toilet leaves the cockpit, and the door locked, insuring there are two members of the crew on the flight deck. When the other pilot comes back, the flight attendant in the cockpit unlocks the door, they swap places and, with two pilots up front, they again lock the door.
This protocol insures that two people are up front – not that the attendant would fly the plane – chances are it’s on autopilot anyway – but in case the remaining pilot passes out, has a heart attack, or otherwise unable to fly the plane, there is a second person there to let the other pilot back in.

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...

This is one of the best shortest books I've read so far. It's so short (about 41 pages) that one could finish it within a couple of hours. But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. 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. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short! No matter what, maintain your faith and believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't compromise to please others. If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa...

It is time to dump Virgin Ideas if You are to monetize your passion

By -
Image
Someone sent me a private message sometime ago and he narrated how he has been finding it difficult to monetize his ideas. He told me how it took him three years to finally come up with the idea. Striving for three years to conceive an idea was tough for him and now, he couldn't earn a dime from his idea. I was surprised and I had to ask him why it took him three years to come up with the idea. ''People are implementing every ideas that I had before that idea. And that idea was the only one I got that no one is doing it yet''. You see the mistake? People still believe that their ideas must be raw, untouched and Virgin for it to scale. People believe having Virgin ideas is what makes them unique. The truth is, discovering an idea to be Virgin is an indication that it's not marketable, neither can it be profitable. If no one is doing it, it may not be suited for our world. Dump that idea ASAP the moment you realize there's no market for it. The world h...

We are Members of One Body, NOT Independent Cells

By -

Beloved, Christianity isn't a personal race as we are made to believe. It is rather a collective race with personal responsibilities. We are not the Cell of Christ but the Body of Christ. We must realize that whatever affects one part, affects the whole body. We must understand that all these talks such as "Leave everyone to their own beliefs. Let whatever you belief work for you. If I tithe, is it your business?" etcetera, are all revelations of a lack of synergy in the Faith. The Lord Jesus would have us grow up into him in all things. He would have his Church walk in Holy rhythmicity. He would have us understand that we are one united force before whom the World is to tremble. This individualistic mindset is actually folly and it's a huge debit on our eternal inheritance. We must begin to see ourselves, not as separate entities with placentas tied to the womb of the "Pauls and Apollos" of our times, but as one Holy body, under the command of one Lord...

I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg (Ernest Hemingway) The goal of retirement is to live off your assets-not on them (Frank Eberhart) The virtues of free enterprise can become distorted by greed and delusion (Allan Lokos) If money management isn't something you enjoy, consider my perspective. I look at managing my money as if it were a part-time job. The time you spend monitoring your finances will pay off. You can make real money by cutting expenses and earning more interest on savings and investments. I'd challenge you to find a part-time job where you could potentially earn as much money for just an hour or two of your time (Laura D. Adams) The first rule in making money is not to lose it (Steven J. Lee) Raising interest rates is voo-doo. You can't deal with a global system problem by trying to solve it with this (Stafford Beer) You attract poverty when you lack value for time (Sunday Adelaja)

The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

Today, I'll share few of what I learnt from this inspiring book by Norman Vincent Peale. It's an amazing and inspiring book, which I feel a lot of persons have read. But if you haven't, it's worth checking out. It's amazing to know that Peale's book is still inspiring lives long after written, and after he's gone (Peale died in 1993 at the age of 95 years). • Nothing is inherently powerful. But WE are powerful, and we can give strength and power to whatever we choose to give such to. One's mind gives strength and power to circumstances, things, situations. And the more one's mind focus on something, it gives greater strength and power to such thing. And when strength and power is given to something, that thing has some control and authority even over us, the giver of the power, and would exercise that authority until one recognizes it and decides to take away such authority. It's then left for us to decide what we should give greater strength a...
