So I have heard some pastors preach and  a lot of people say that Methuselah the world's oldest man that ever lived was not really important, his life was not really useful just because the bible only recorded the years the poor man spent on earth and not his achievements and I am always like "what! you  kidding me or what? you mean a man who was wise and smart enough to spend a nine hundred and sixty nine(969!) years on earth was not useful! you must be kidding!"

(I can turn your picture into a beautiful story..contact me on johnolanipekun112@yahoo.com)

Let me analyze it clearer for you..going by 969 years, if Methuselah had died this year(2018), he would have been born in 1049 AD... gawd, he would have seen all the revolutions! experienced most of the things that is being taught in our history class,the battle of Hastings! bubonic plauge!American civil war!.many vampires even though they are myths don't even get to live that long, when he was 200 years old, I can bet a dollar that he was still as strong as a 30 year old man, ..we have a lot to learn from the lifestyle and years of Methuselah on earth..this post is not written  to add to the bible ,or deduct from it (no sir!)  but just speculations into Methuselah's lifestyle that could have made him live that long and what can we learn from them..check them out..

He lived a healthy lifestyle: although Methuselah was not a king, we can conclude that he didn't eat the best ,but he ate healthy foods that did well to his body and his immune system, he must have done some couple of exercises too(though funny, but yes) to keep fit and live that long..he wouldn't have smoked(if it was available then) and he wouldn't have been a lover of alcohol.so if you want a good shot at Methuselah's years on earth, you d better lived a healthy lifestyle..

He minded his business: Trust me, you can't live that long like if you don't mind your business, Methuselah must have been a gentle,easygoing man who paddled his own canoe, and went about minding his own business.. you want to be 969? mind your business!

He was careful: Methuselah must have been very careful  in his decisions , to have lived that long, I an sure huldn't have been the man who arrived at hasty decisions.. he would have thought then through before going for one(he had a lotta time on his hands)..Don't make hasty decisions ..it reduces lifespan

He was a likeable person: Methuselah must have been a likeable person with nice characters to have lived that long, so people that lived then were not freaked out by his age, they live and let him live,if he had been a bad person with a lot of hate going for him, he wouldn't have lived that long..improve on your characters  ..it might take you places or let me say ages

(hello  good smaritan ,please donate for the upkeep of this blog)

He was wise: He must have been a wise  and experienced man who made smart decisions to have lived that long..  going by what the bible say,get wisdom and in all thy getting, get understanding..

so you might now stop saying that "apart from his age,Methuselah was not important or useful to the events that happened in his lifetime and was recorded in the bible" because his age enough had put upon him a veil of importance.. he broke a worldly record that would never be broken  again in this world or maybe the world to come..next time before you say anything about Methuselah, just remember 969 years!

You might have touched ur nose before, and found what looks like a oil or grease and you may have wondered how it got there, you might have even concluded that the grease is as a result of your too much intake of peanut oil but this is wrong, in this article, i will be talking about nasal sebum(the oil on your nose), how it got there, its usefulness and its disadvantages

So what is Nasal sebum

 Firstly what is sebum? sebum is an oil produced by the glands in your skin to lubricate and moisturize the skin and hair,and Nasal sebum, also known as nose grease/oil, is the grease removed from the surface of the human nose but why don't you find oil in all parts of your body, why on your nose? This is the reason.

The pores of the lateral creases (where the nose joins the face) of the exterior of the nose create and store more oil and grease than pores elsewhere on the human body, forming a readily available source of small quantities of grease or oil.

According to Wikipedia ,the grease is a particularly oily form of sebum, thought to contain more squalene (C30H50) than the secretions from other parts of the skin. It is notable because nose grease is a convenient durable lubricant.

So what are the usefulness of this nasal sebum

1. It is a remedy for dry and chapped lips

2. It can be used as a lubricant in times of emergency

3.It can be used to minimize scratches in optical surfaces

4.Nose grease is often recommended as a lubricant for fly fishing rod ferrules

5. It can also be applied on skipping CD's in order to fix it

6.This might be disgusting but it is actually interesting and it works, nosal sebum has antifoam properties and can be used to break down a high head on freshly poured beer or soft drinks
Steps
1. Pour a pint of beer or softdrink so that it foams alot 
2. Rub your index finger on your oily nose 
3. Dip the finger in the beer
Now, watch what happens. The foam should go down pretty fast. Nice, isn't it? Don't recommend doing it with anyone else's beer, or you would need a great deal of explanation( don't include me please.lol)

Now what are the disadvantages?

1.It can cause the nose to appear oily and clog

2.It can cause nose blackheads.(Blackheads are caused by the oxidation of oil and dead skin cells trapped in the pores of your skin)

3. Nose grease makes your nose slick and make your glasses slide down your nose

4. some people are in the habit of squeezing the greases from their nose and this can be pretty nauseating and disgusting..(I am telling you)

These are some small animals and insects that harbour and transfers deadly diseases that have claimed over a thousand victims and still counting,
They may be small in shape but when it comes to transferring deadly viruses , they rank high.


Mosquitoes - Malaria



Who would have thought this tiny ugly insects could be a killer but these mosquitoes through the malaria they transfer caused over one million deaths per year and are stated to have killed half of the people who have ever lived.
Malaria is however caused by the plasmodium parasite, which is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes ,The plasmodium parasite is spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which are known as "night-biting" mosquitoes because they most commonly bite between dusk and dawn.but if other mosquitoes bite a person already with  malaria, they can also become infected and spread the parasite on to other people.

             
                       




Bats - Ebola





Another notable mention in little animals that cause big disease is the fruit bat which is responsible for transferring the Ebloa virus like infected apes, chimpanzees etc but the bats are a major carrier and was responsible for the high rate of infections in west Africa, the first victim of Ebola, a two year old boy was said to have been fond of playing in a particular tree which was infested by fruit bats.

Freshwater snails - Schistosomiasis



You might have not heard about this disease, but little brown freshwater snails cause the deaths of more than 10,000 people every year.They live in rivers and lakes in subtropical and tropical regions across the globe. When people drink the water, they ingest snail eggs. These burrow into the human stomach to lay their eggs, which cause the deadly disease called schistosomiasis associated with poor living conditions, overcrowding, and lack of sanitation or clean water. Symptoms can include paralysis of the legs and vomiting blood as well as flu-like symptoms caused by the immune system reacting to the eggs




Rats- lassa fever





The list would be definitely incomplete without the annoying little squeaky buggers...rats, which harbours lassa virus that can be transferred to humans through their feces, urine, touching of infected rats, or even through grains and foods the infected rats have touched.it is known to cause around 5000 deaths annually.
At some point in time, the disease was in the background but it is now rearing its head forcefully in West Africa especially Nigeria where many cases have been reported, and the mortality rate is much more than the survivors rate.


             




Houseflies- cholera, typhoid, dysentery etc



Though there might be arguments that houseflies shouldn't be present, but through their activities , they transfer pathogens of easily  communicable diseases like typhoid, cholera, dysentery,tuberculosis etc which since their inceptions have caused over 2 million deaths and a considerable number of people still die from diseases transferred by houseflies yearly.

Sadist. Does this term strikes a bell? I am sure your mind went to the difficult lecturer at your school who is hard with marks, he/she prefers to have most of the students offering his/her courses fail than pass, or your mind went to that boss at your workplace, who never laughs at anything and increases your work load?..you are right, these are sadists, but do you know apart from the official ties, some people receive full blasts of the negativity feelings from sadist..i lived with a sadist for some good years and i could say i have known all i need to know about sadists, the sadistic feelings are contagious and I think I have been infected with some,but thanks to my jovial nature that serves as antibodies, I manage to kick out some of these feelings (just joking, let's get to it) 

Do you also know you can be a sadist without knowing you are? Of course nobody would really love to call himself or herself a sadist, but you might be guilty of these characters.


Notice; there might be some rare cases, but sadists all over the world will exhibit five of these listed characters , if not all.

1. Sadists don't love entertainment ; music is life, entertainment is happiness, but sadly, most sadist don't think about entertainment like this, they think singing, listening to music, acting, dancing, watching movies are one of the foolish necessities of life they could easily do without, most of them detest new generational songs, if they were forced to choose, they would choose oldies, ( many people love old songs and are not sadist; for example me )



2. They can cook; believe it or not but most sadists can cook especially the men,since they don't like depending on anybody , and food is one of the basic amenities you can't do without, they learn to cook and they excel at it..these can lead sometimes to unhappiness in their wives lifes because most of the time they would find fault with the woman's cooking..too much salt, peppery etc and they would prefer to do the cooking themselves


3. They dont fight easily : sadists could abuse you and define you in many ways, but it is very rare for a sadist to throw the first punch, they aren't cowards, they can't just bring themselves or stoop so low to fighting, instead of doing all this, they prefer to keep malice and attack in indirect ways which is different from physical combat, they could refuse to give you what you ask for, stops your promotion or reduce your marks drastically.


4. They are intelligent and learned; most sadists are very intelligent and learned, they love education and are passionate about knowledge, since they don't have the time for many things they considered mundane, they turn to their books , they love reading and
Sometimes they have a soft spot for brilliant people and readers.


5. They are pessimistic about most things; this is a major attribute of sadists, they are pessimists, most of the time( I use most of the time because you might never know, there might be some rare cases) they don't see good in things you are doing if it is not being done by them or ideas you have if it isn't theirs..

(Like it, share it, tweet it)

6. They harbour long term malice.; since sadists don't show and release their hate and anger by fighting or long outbursts, they stored it as malice and nourishes their hate against the person..their malice can run into weeks, months and even years, if the person being hated did not beg intensely  for forgiveness from them.

(Don't forget to like our Facebook page)

7. They don't get sick easily : sadists are kinda thick skinned against all normal illnesses that affects human beings, though they do get such but it is not on normal occasions mainly because they love being clean and careful in nature, and when they do get sick, they are proud enough to not tell anyone about it unless it is getting critical or out of hand.


8. They are purists ; they love doing things correctly and in the traditional way, they also want everyone around them to be clean , neat and obey their orders without questioning it.


9. Most of them are atheists; most of them don't believe there is a God somewhere and those who believe among them, don't nurture or like the idea of worshipping in a congregation, they dont like the normal singing, praying , dancing etc that occurs in the person , they prefer worshipping in the corners of their rooms, and believes they are holier than others.

10. They sought after perfection; they want to be perfect and wants everything around them to be done perfectly, as a lecturer or a teacher, he wants you to answer questions correctly with no form of mistakes, but sadly, this is a race they can never win because nobody is perfect or can attain the level of perfection

Sadists live a sad life and makes everybody around them unhappy..they were not born that way but due to the various challenges that they have faced at some stages in their lives, man's cruelty towards them etc
Some  if not helped turns out to be murderers

So how do we overcome these sadistic feelings?

1. Be happy
2. Have a simple approach towards life
3. Understand the fact that nobody can be perfect
4.watch more comedy films
5.don't keep and nourish your angers ; release them, not through fighting but by letting others know what you feel about them.
6. Be kind

Do you still remember seeing this phone gathering dust on your grandfather's shelf or you saw it in a museum?, this is actually a DESK SET telephone rocked in the 1930s to the 1950s, you would agree with me that those who rocked this phones are either old  or dead,those days, you have to be rich before you can have one of this piece in your house, but after some time when newer editions came out, it became cheap and free for all,now this telephones are now antiques and you are lucky if you have this piece of art in your house  .

Note: there were some telephones before the desk set, but were not popular and only limited to top government officials.

       The touch tone telephones emerged
                   



Hurray! What a huge turn in the phone manufacturing industry, now we can now take our phones from one place to another, we can place a call wherever we are, this is as a result of the advent of the big giant phones with pretty long antennas that looks like a walkie talkie, but this freedom and development came with a price, the phone weighs 'a ton' it was too heavy for the hand to hold always, so people suffered from hand pains and aches, till today this is a major disavantage of the phone .
