Why is lying the new norm?

WHY IS LYING THE NEW NORM?

What is a lie?

            A lie is an intentional false information given to intentionally deceive.

When Pinocchio lies, his nose grows(as shown in the image below).

If you are found to have lied in court, you could face a penalty.

While a principle-based approach might claim that lying is morally wrong, the casuist would argue that depending upon the case , lying might or might not be illegal or unethical.

The casuist might conclude that a person is wrong to lie in legal testimony under oath, but might argue that lying actually is the best moral choice if the lie saves a life

ONE MIGHT CONCLUDE THAT A LIE IS SOMETHING THAT MISLEADS/DISAPpOINT, THE THERE IS LYING BY OMISSION

Back to the main point of this article

People claim they lie to protect themselves from being vulnerable, that’s why some people have become experts at lying.

How can you tell when someone is lying?

·         Facial expression

·         Tone of voice

·         Body language

                                                   

Bible point of view about lying

               Lying is a sin for sure, we all are aware of this.

 Question now is why do we keep lying even though we know it’s wrong?

CONSTIPATION AND WHAT IT ENTAILS

ONSTIPATION(not being able to poop) AND WHAT IT ENTAILS

What is constipation?

                A state of the bowel in which the evacuations are infrequent and difficult, or the intestines become filled with hardened feces; costiveness/stiffness.

Symptoms of Constipation

·         Passing stool less than three times a week.

·         Having lumpy or hard stools.

·         Straining to have bowel movements.

·         Feeling as though there’s a blockage in your rectum that prevents bowel movements.

·         Feeling as though you can’t completely empty the stool in your rectum.

Surefire remedies for Constipation

·         Rink caffeinated coffee.

·         Take Senna (an herbal laxative).

·         Take probiotic supplements.

·         Take paraffin oil, a prescription laxative—I can attest for all of the above, but this one I can stake on, as the most surefire remedy for constipation, especially for those that haven’t had any bowel movement(excreting stool) for five days like me, that’s why i wrote this article, so you won’t have to pass through what I passed through.

·         Try an enema.

·         Use a stool softener(fruits can serve this purpose).

·         Take an Osmotic.

·         Drink glasses of water more often than you would normally do.

MEN, TO AVOID PROSTRATE CANCER, YOU MUST EJACULATE 21 TIMES MONTHLY

MEN, TO AVOID PROSTRATE CANCER, YOU MUST EJACULATE 21 TIMES MONTHLY

To any man reading this, you now have an excuse to get it on in the bedroom, show this article to whomever doubts your request. Joke apart, this article has everything to do with a healthy prostrate and all things good health. What's more is that it is in the name of science.

According to a health study conducted in at Harvard, ejaculating frequently can reduce prostrate cancer risks, and all the better if it's as many as 21 times monthly. Whether during sex, masturbating or while sleeping,  it can reduce men's risk of prostrate cancer.

The study got a bit more specific on what the researchers mean by “frequently.” The researchers surveyed 32,000 men from 1992 to 2010. The study found that participants who reported ejaculating at least 21 times a month during their 20s were 19% less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who ejaculated seven times per month or less. If you’re in your 40s, there’s even better news--frequent ejaculation reduces your prostate cancer risk by 22%. There’s no set number of times a person should ejaculate to reduce their risk of prostate cancer. Science suggests a dose-dependent relationship, where the risk becomes lower the more frequently a person ejaculates. There's an established relationship between ejaculation and the risk of prostate tumors. However, researchers still don’t know why the two are linked. Rider has a theory about the connection. Here’s what she told Reuters--“Ejaculation frequency is, to some extent, a measure of overall health status in that men at the very low end of ejaculation—zero to three times per month—were more likely to have other (medical problems) and die prematurely from causes other than prostate cancer.”.

To bring this home, a doctor with Amuzu Herbal clinic has reechoed the research findings. She is advising men to ejaculate for not less than 21 times in every month and 5 times each week, they should do this if they want to avoid prostate cancer.

BEWARE: 7 PLANTS THAT WILL KILL YOU. FLEE FROM THEM WHEN YOU SEE THEM.

BEWARE: 7 PLANTS THAT WILL KILL YOU. FLEE FROM THEM WHEN YOU SEE THEM.

             Animals that are prey for predators can run for their lives when they observe they are in danger, but this is not the case for plants. Plant’s cannot move like the latter explanation i gave, so what can they do since they are not mobile?

Good question. Some plants mask their true nature with how beautiful and attractive they are, thereby making them look harmless enough, but they can harbor some of the most deadly poisons known to man, this is their defense mechanism. From the death of Socrates by poison hemlock to the accidental ingestion of deadly nightshade by children, poisonous plants have been responsible for human deaths throughout history..so please beware of some plants you come across, life does not have a duplicate.

                                                         

I have compiled a list of 7 plants with their botanical names with brief notes, that will kill you when you come in contact with them. they are as follows:

1.       Water Hemlock (Cicuta maculata)-- Closely related to poison hemlock (the plant that famously killed Socrates), water hemlock has been deemed "the most violently toxic plant in North America." A large wildflower in the carrot family, water hemlock resembles Queen Anne’s lace and is sometimes confused with edible parsnips or celery.

2.       Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna)—It contains atropine and scopolamine in its stems, leaves, berries, and roots, and causes paralysis in the involuntary muscles of the body, including the heart, then it kills you.

3.       White Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima)--Unlike those who have died from directly ingesting deadly plants, poor Nancy Hanks (Abraham Lincoln’s mother) was poisoned by simply drinking the milk of a cow who had grazed on the plant.

4.       Castor Bean (Ricinus communis)--Widely grown as an ornamental, the castor bean is an attractive plant native to Africa. While the processed seeds are the source of castor oil, they naturally contain the poison ricin and are deadly in small amounts. It only takes one or two seeds to kill a child and up to eight to kill an adult.

5.       Rosary Pea (Abrus precatorius)--Rosary peas are native to tropical areas and are often used in jewelry and prayer rosaries. While the seeds are not poisonous if intact, seeds that are scratched, broken, or chewed can be lethal. It only takes 3 micrograms of abrin to kill an adult, less than the amount of poison in one seed, and it is said that numerous jewelry makers have been made ill or died after accidentally pricking their fingers while working with the seeds. Like ricin, abrin prevents protein synthesis within cells and can cause organ failure within four days.

6.       Oleander (Nerium oleander)--Though commonly grown as a hedge and ornamental, all parts of the oleander plant are deadly and contain lethal cardiac glycosides known as oleandrin and neriine. If eaten, oleander can cause vomiting, diarrhea, erratic pulse, seizures, coma, and death, and contact with the leaves and sap is known to be a skin irritant to some people..

7.    Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)--Tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year, making it perhaps the most deadly plant in the world.

            TWO SUREFIRE WAYS TO LOSE                                             WEIGHT.

When we say weight loss, what do we mean?

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue.

Moving on to the main point, what are the two surefire ways to lose weight?

                The two surefire ways to lose weight are:-

v  Fasting as a surefire way o lose weight

                Fasting is the willing abstinence or reduction of some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time.

 An absolute fast or dry fasting is normally defined as abstinence from all food and liquid for a defined period.

Intermittent fasting(also known as intermittent energy restriction, is an umbrella term for various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting and non-fasting over a given period) can help with weight loss.

A very small 2009 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that 16 obese people who ate a very restricted diet three days per week lost an average of 12 pounds over 8 weeks. I personally can vouch for this, it worked for me, in layman terms, i weighed 95kg as at November 2019 then 70kg now, lets rewind back a little to when people always call me fat, with that hanging over my head, being tagged as “FAT”, i had to do something about it, i myself wasn’t comfortable with the way I was(fat butt, breasts shooting out like a woman’s{my mum recommended I wear a bra(yes, it was that bad)} and pot belly), so I just decided to abstain from food and eat just once a day(my mom was worried i might have ulcer, but I put her mind at ease by explaining that what I’m doing has no risk involved, that it was safe), to cut a very long story short, I was consistent, Christmas was the only day I broke protocol and ate more than once(four times to be exact lol). By January this year, I knew I had lost weight, my body wasn’t how it was last year..Something interesting happened next, a cousin of mine visited for the new year and still was calling me fat after we ate, he was bigger than me in more ways than one, so I told him I knew myself, and that I didn’t weigh up to 100kg, as expected , he was in doubt, so we made a bet of a thousand naira each and that if I weighed  up to 100kg that I will keep the money, after his goodbyes with my mom and granny, I escorted him out of the house, so we went to the nearest pharmacy around and checked our weight, Lo and Behold, the pharmacist called out a number I will never forget, she said “70kg”, my cousin was shocked, i myself was too and excited at the same time..The point of sharing my personal experience is to prove to you that fasting works.

Without consistency(always doing one thing over and over again, same time, everyday), this surefire way that worked for me, won’t work for you(of course it took a lot to abstain from food, but I did it anyway, if I can, so can you).

AND

v  Exercising as a surefire way to lose weight

                There are actually three major types of exercises namely:

·         Cardiovascular

·         Strength training

·         Flexibility by stretching.

To lose weight more effectively, you will incorporate all of the above activities into a complete program.

When you create a balanced workout schedule, you're likely to see faster results on the scale.

HOW STRONG IS KAIDO'S ONE SHOT ONE KILL THUNDER BAGUA?

HOW STRONG IS KAIDO'S ONE SHOT ONE KILL THUNDER BAGUA?

FIRST OF, WHO IS KAIDO?

Kaido of the Beasts, also known as the "Strongest Creature in the World", is the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Yonko ruling over the New World.
Decades ago before the formation of his own crew, Kaido was part of the legendary Rocks Pirates as an apprentice(you can imagine just how powerful the Rocks pirates were with Kaido as an apprentice).
Kaido was first referred to by Monkey.D.Garp in the Post-Enies lobby Arc and then directly mentioned by Gecko Moria in the Thriller bark Arc with his Yonko title revealed just after the Straw Hat pirates defeated Moria.....Thus, Kaido is the third Yonko mentioned by name and the last one to debut.
He and his crew currently occupy wano country in alliance with its shogun, Kurozumi Orochi.
Due to his actions and role, he is the primary antagonist of the Wano country Arc and one of the central antagonists of the Yonko saga.
Kaido is a heavy drunkard who loves to drink sake and while drunk, his mood changes erratically, such as when he quickly went from being melancholic over his inability to increase the number of his Gifters and fulfill his dream of having a crew consisting of only Devil Fruit users to becoming angry and violent, brutally beating his subordinates and cursing Luffy and Law. In fact, Kaido is such a habitual drinker that he even dislikes being sober at any given time(lol).
Despite his immense arrogance and confidence in his power, Kaido does acknowledge other individuals of exceptional strength as he sought to recruit powerful individuals into his crew such as Shutenmaru and also Eustass Kid. This extends to enemies who offended him such as Luffy who had caused him to lose his SMILE supply when he intentionally held back when defeating the latter and expressed his intention to recruit Luffy into his crew as he still considered Luffy to be a potentially formidable soldier, and opted to try to break his spirit and recruit him as a subordinate instead of killing him immediately.
Kaido also seems to be annoyed with encountering those who possess Haoshoku Haki, stating that the world does not need so many people who could use it.
Like other people, Kaido has a unique laughing style: "Worororo"....A second one of his has been observed as he was drunk: "Fuhihihi"(lmao).

DEVIL FRUIT

Kaido has eaten a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a massive, blue-scaled Eastern dragon, notably with a circle of flame around each of his upper arms. In this form, he is capable of moving through the air by creating clouds and using them as footholds. 

He can also release devastating blasts of fire from his mouth, which can easily blow apart a large area. The anime shows that a simple burp is powerful enough to send a grown man flying away in the gust.

HAKI

Kaido possesses Haoshoku no Haki, which was first seen when he clashed with (SPOILER ALERT!!!) fellow Haoshoku no Haki wielder Big Mom, creating the shockwaves that appear when two users clash

People often say "If it's one-on-one, Kaido will win." On land, sea, and air... among all living things, he is a pirate who is known as the "strongest creature".

WHEN WAS KAIDO BORN?

May 1

KAIDO'S FIRST APPEARANCE
One Piece, Chapter 795: Suicide(Manga).

ONE SHOT ONE KILL THUNDER BAGUA

Kaido wields a giant metal kanabo covered in spikes as his weapon of choice. Using it in conjunction with his immense physical strength, he can use it to smash adversaries over vast distances, and was able to knock Luffy unconscious with a single blow, breaking past the tremendous defensive power of Luffy's busoshoku no haki-enhanced gear fourth form.
Kaido has wielded his Kanabo since he was an apprentice of the Rocks Pirates, he is one with his weapon.
I extensively researched this next part.

SO HOW STRONG IS KAIDO'S THUNDER BAGUA?!

Raimei Hakke (雷鳴八卦 Raimei Hakke, literally meaning "Thunderclap Eight Trigrams").
Kaido charges towards his opponent at high speed, swinging his kanabo horizontally to strike them with devastating force. The impact releases several black thunders, similar to that of a Haoshoku no Haki clash. It was first used against Luffy in his gear fourth form, knocking him unconscious with a single hit. The "Eight Trigrams", or bagua are the eight symbols of Taoist cosmology to represent the fundamental principles of reality...In the VIZ Manga, this is called Thunder Bagua.

QUESTION:-

Can Sengoku stop Kaido's Thunder Bagua completely with his Buddha Palm Fist? 

Who else currently alive in one piece can stop Kaido's Thunder Bagua, take him on and defeat him?.
