Did you know that banana peels could be used to purify water?? If you are living in Nigeria, then you are opportuned to have this article. Due to human activities on the face of the earth, our water system has been polluted and is in a desolate state. Despite the fact that the earth is 71% water covered not all of this water is fit for drinking. Owing to this, man has provided ways of preserving our remaining water reserve for consumption. Formally we used chemicals and coagulants like Alum,chlorine, bromine, iodine,to purify water but these methods have side effects which can result in death,complex diseases, system disorders and other health risks. To tackle this problem, we here at kulture360 have researched and discovered five local ways of purifying water from the plants and trees around us,these include; 1.Using fruit peelings e.g apple,tomato This method was outlaid by a research associate from the National University of Singapore, Ramakrishna Mallampati. His method co...

For those of us who need to get a joh, there is no job without an interview unless some "invisible forces" are present. An interview is a formal meeting, in person for the assessment of a candidate or an applicant. Interview is also the platform through which an employer gets to know the applicant before he(applicant) assumes the position of an employee. A person who conducts an interview or who asks the questions is called the interviewer while the person who is being interviewed or who answers the questions is an interviewee. For applicants or interviewees, here are five things that you should never do in an interview; 1. Never come late: An adage says that "the early bird catches the worm" so the late bird stays hungry. If you must get that job,you must really be early on that day of interview. If possible, come before time so as to be the one waiting for them. As you know,the students are meant to be waiting for the teacher, not the other way round. So you...

Several hours after his death, Albert Einstein's brain was removed from his head by scientists who were curious to know the reason for his high level of intelligence. His brain was surgically removed from his head and split into various smaller fragments. When the scientists began to analyze the various tissues in his brain,this was their shocking discovery. Although the overall size and asymmetrical shape of Einstein's brain were normal,the prefrontal,somatosensory,primary motor, parietal, temporal and occipital cortices were extraordinary. One part of the operculum called Broea's area helps in speech production but in Einstein's case, he had a smaller Broea's area which was why he didn't say much while he lived. To compensate, the inferior parietal lobe was 15 percent wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Owing to this, Einstein was said to have made a...

The heart of the father contains the will of the father. The father in question here is God. God is our father and he has a special heartbeat for us. Just like he said in the old testament book of Isaiah 55:8-9"Verse 8(AMP)For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. Verse 9 (KJV):For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." We are his children and his heartbeat for us is that of good and not of evil to give us an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11). In the heart, lots of thoughts keep going on,decisions are taken,changes are effected,corrections are made,pride is bred and beauty streams. These and many more are the conditions of the hearts of men and God Almighty is constantly searching it (Jeremiah 17:10). In this study, we are focusing on the heart of our heavenly father i.e God. From the places we have read, we have come to see that the heart of God the...

MATHEMATICS IN EVERYDAY LIFE We live our lives everyday not knowing that we apply the principles of mathematics. Yes,each and everyone of us is a hidden mathematician when it comes to how we go about our daily activities. What we do not know is that from waking up from sleep till going back to sleep at night, we engage our brain in a lot of mental maths and logic. All our activities directly or indirectly points back to the use of maths in our various homes, offices, schools, market places, etc. OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES AND THE WAYS IN WHICH WE APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICS TO THEM. 1.Waking up: We do wake up at various time frames in the early hours of the morning or later than that. We know that time has to do with figures and figures relates directly to maths. So by the time you wake up late(assuming), you look at your clock and you immediately calculate the number of hours you have spent sleeping without using a calculator. You are like "I've been sleeping for t...

Alleviating the fear of mathematics                   There is no problem on earth without a solution and all fears can be overcome. In the same vein, alleviation of matho-phobia can be achieved through roles which are to be played by the students, teachers, parents and even the society at large. These roles which should be played by the categories of people listed above are also the solutions to matho-phobia and they include; 1.Overcoming the matho-phobic mindset: This is mainly fof students. You can never defeat  a giant you are afraid of. So if maths becomes Goliath, then become David and defeat it. Someone once said that "Victory and defeat all come from the state of your mind". If you see maths as a subject that will knock you off balance, then it will surely defeat you but if you see it as all other subjects which you can overcome then, you can overcome it. So why not get up today and tell yourself," If Pythagoras could do it,I can...

The sea anemone 15.Actiniaria Cnidaria Anthozoa Actiniaria Edwardsioidea Heteromysis S The Sea Anemone !

This is because when one of their tentacles or even their “head gets cut, they can regenerate them into new ones.

While their hearts and are not that resistant to freezing and can die when completely frozen, they can be ‘revived’ to life when thawed out.

Albert Einstein, the Nobel Laureate in Physics in the year 1921 and the man considered to be the father of science mostly because of his special "theory of relativity" had some habits and lifestyle which seemed quirky and shocking. These habits he believed contributed a lot to his rise to fame and stardom and as habits, he could not do without them. Below are of these queer habits of his: 1.10 HOURS OF SLEEP AND ONE-SECOND NAPS It’s common knowledge that sleep is good for your brain – and Einstein took this advice more seriously than most. He reportedly slept for at least 10 hours per day – nearly one and a half times as much as the average American today (6.8 hours). But can you really slumber your way to a sharper mind? The author John Steinbeck once said: “It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.” Many of the most radical breakthroughs in human history, including the periodi...

This is a continuation of our last week's post on "Immortal Animals Who Defy Death" Immortal Jellyfish 8.Turritopsis dohrnii Cnidaria Anthoathecata Oceaniidae Turritopsis Jellyfish Lifespan: Immortal unless disease or predation Did you ever wonder if you could go back to being a child? This species of jellyfish can! Found in the waters of Japan and Mediterranean sea, the immortal jellyfish is the only animal which can go back to being sexually immature after reaching maturity. Turritopsis dohrnii, or Turritopsis, is a small (5 millimeters (0.20 in)) species of jellyfish that uses transdifferentiation to replenish cells after sexual reproduction. This cycle can repeat indefinitely, potentially rendering it biologically immortal.This process can be indefinite as long as the jellyfish doesn’t die of either disease or predation.
