WHALES

Most assuredly whales are not fish,Whales and men trace the same ancient lineage through creatures born in the warm water of the primal oceans who exiled themselves to the precarious environment of the dry land. Although they bear a superficial resemblance to fishes, whales have little in common with the scaly tribe. When they returned to the sea they brought with them an intelligence of a radically new order one that had evolved as a direct consequence of the ferocious difficulties which all terrestrial animals must face in order to survive. On the other hand, the emerging human stock had to battle desperately for survival in a bitterly rigorous environment, not only against an array of other animals which were often physically and functionally superior, but against the organized and warlike competition of their own species. Going out and coming back to the sea enables them to survive successfully as a natural beings yet they were beings who, like protoman endowed with a great intellectual potential.
   Studies suggested that the more advanced whales have brains comparable with and, perhaps, even superior to ours, both complexity and capacity. It is clear that their power to think has steadily increased, even as ours has, over the millennia. There can be one reasonable assumption for all this whales must use their minds and use them fully in some directions, in some manner for some purpose which evades our compensation. So whales and men diverged from the common ancestry, one to become the most lordly form of life in the oceans, and the other to become the dominant animal on the land. The day came when the two would meet. The meeting was not a peaceful one, in mutual recognition of each other's worth. As usual, it was man who set the terms and he chose battle. It was a one sided battle where man wielded the weapons, and the whales did the dying.

Frequent masturbation

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer , but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer . But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers  looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer.  About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer . The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life. "Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer. For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported mas...
Two flats in a one storey building at Nweke Nwobuchi Street, Umudioka village Awka, behind National secondary school was gutted by fire. The fire which alleged to be caused by a licked gas from a gas cooker, affected the top two flats destroying properties worth millions of naira. Speaking to newsmen at the scene, the owner of the building, Barrister Nnamdi Anagor, said that they were trying to fix the licking gas cylinder before the fire engulfed the building as they have earlier perceived the odour, and called on government and well to do citizens to come to their aid as they have lost their properties worth millions of naira. Barrister Anagor, disclosed that no life was lost to the incident but that one person sustained some injuries and has been hospitalized. Also speaking, a friend to the owner of the building, Mr. Maxwell Udechukwu, who alerted the Fire Service Agency through emergency number, thanked Governor Willie Maduabuchi Obiano for equipping the state's fire service...

Natural soil

 Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils.    Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content.    Mainly the soils ar...
