The earth is blessed with several resources. Some them are renewable while some are not. These resources are unevenly distributed across the world. Thus, some countries appear more blessed than others.
One unique resource, however, exists. It is evenly distributed to every region and every individual in the world. The resource is time. Time is nonrenewable. The part that you have used cannot be retrieved and everyone has got a limited quantity to live.
Thus, whatever, we do with our time is very important. This opening rant of mine is dedicated to Nigerian University students who have been grounded at home for more than six months now due to ASUU's strike. A word is enough for the wise.
Welcome to a new edition of STEMng Digest.
Who are we?
STEMng is the Nigerian sub-community of the stemsocial community, a community that has been supporting stem authors on the hive blockchain for about four years now. While stemsocial focuses on everyone irrespective of their country, STEMng is specifically for Nigerians. The best stem contents published by Nigerians on the Hive blockchain are highlighted weekly.
Below are the posts that made it into our digest for this week:
@jsalvage: [How much do you know about this life booster!!/ Brown rice the life changer](@jsalvage/how-much-do-you-know-about-this-life-booster-brown-rice-the-life-changer
This week's edition is kick-started by a food cum health post. We all know how popular rice is in our society. The rice we commonly know is known as polished rice. This post specifically talks about rice that is not polished. It offers so many nutritional and health benefits. However, caution needs to be observed. What is it? Check out the post.

Featuring consecutively is our newly onboarded medical doctor-to-be. This time, he discusses a very interesting medical topic from the point of view of a real-life event. Obstructed labour is something that we may have directly or indirectly experienced in the past. The post makes for a very good, educational, and interesting read.

Another post that boders around pregnancy. This time, the author talks about intra-uterine implantation of sperm cells as a form of assisted reproduction. I personally do not know that this is a thing in the medical world. Thanks to do author for simplifying it and making it very educative.

Medical doctors are taking the week. Here is a pathogenic disease I have never heard of. Hive has taught me so many things, I don't know about you. The wrote about the disease, inspired by the fact that his mum is a patient of the same disease. I would have bet shingle sounds more like geographical than medical term. Read the post to learn about this disease.

Coronavirus has ran its course on humanity. While its transmissibility is going down, its economic, psychological, and morphological effects still linger. Everyone can remember that nose masks became a thing due to the pandemic. In this post, the author discussed the aetiology of headaches associated with the use of nose masks. I use to think I am the only one that gets a headache whenever I wear a nosemask for a prolonged period.
