Meet the inventor of sliced bread

It is quite common to hear people describe something nice as “the next best thing after sliced bread” – an expression that proves that sliced bread is up there in the list of the best things that were invented.
It is common to see sliced bread in most homes, but have you ever wondered who invented this concept?
The simple answer lies with Otto Frederick Rohwedder, an American inventor.
Born on July 7, 1880, in Iowa, Rohwedder was a man of many talents. He started out training as a jeweller but he also had other interests including inventing machines.
Back then bread had already been existing for hundreds of years but it was only sold in whole loaves.
Rohwedder soon decided he wanted to invent a bread-slicing machine. In 1912, he sold his jewellery stores for capital and decided to create a machine to slice bread.
Despite his determination, Rohwedder faced several challenges, including finding a way to keep the bread from going stale too quickly after being sliced, and then at the time, bakers were skeptical, believing that pre-sliced bread would dry out and lose its freshness.
Just when he was making headway with his invention, Rohwedder suffered a devastating loss – a fire in his factory destroyed his blueprints and his prototype.
Undeterred, Rohwedder continued working on his machine and in 1928, he developed a machine that not only sliced bread but also wrapped it to preserve its freshness.
His first commercial bread-slicing machine was installed at the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri, and on July 7, 1928, the first loaves of pre-sliced bread were sold.
The sliced bread was an instant success. Consumers were delighted with the convenience of pre-sliced loaves, and sales skyrocketed. In fact, a company named Wonder Bread adopted Rohwedder’s innovation, helping to popularize sliced bread across the country.
It can be agreed that Rohwedder’s invention has totally changed the way all of us consume bread.
Even though whole loaves are still sold today, we can’t deny that his invention did set a standard for food packaging and even convenience.
Rohwedder passed away in 1960, but his invention lives on in many homes today. So next time you reach for that perfectly sliced loaf, remember the man who made it all possible.

Why do people stay after being cheated on?

Cheating is seen as the ultimate betrayal in a relationship. For many, it’s a deal-breaker, an unforgivable act that means an immediate breakup.
But in reality, not everyone leaves when they find out they’ve been cheated on. Some stay, some forgive, and some try to make things work. But why?
Is it love? Fear of starting over? Hope that the cheater will change? Or is it simply because leaving is harder than it seems?
Society judges people who stay after infidelity, calling them weak or desperate. But relationships are complex, and decisions aren’t always black and white.
Some stay for emotional reasons, others for financial or family concerns. Some believe in second chances, while others stay out of fear. So, why do people stay after being cheated on?
1. Love and emotional attachment
One of the biggest reasons people stay after being cheated on is love. Feelings don’t just disappear overnight, even after betrayal. Many people hold onto the good memories, the deep emotional connection, and the life they built together.
For some, leaving means giving up on something they’ve invested years in. They hope that the cheating was just a mistake and that their partner still loves them. They convince themselves that their relationship is worth fighting for, despite the hurt.
2. Fear of starting over
Breaking up after infidelity means walking away from a familiar life and starting over, which can be terrifying. The idea of being single again, re-entering the dating world, or even just adjusting to life without a partner can feel overwhelming.
Many people stay because they fear loneliness or worry they won’t find someone better. Unfortunately, staying just because leaving is hard leads to resentment and unhappiness.

3. The hope that they will change
Some people believe that cheating was just a “one-time mistake” and that their partner truly regrets it. They hold onto hope that things will get better and that their partner has learned their lesson.
In some cases, this hope is justified, some relationships do recover from infidelity. But in many cases, a cheating partner will do it again, especially if they weren’t truly sorry in the first place.
It’s important to ask: Is your partner actually changing, or are they just saying what you want to hear?

4. Low self-esteem and self-worth issues
Cheating can make someone feel worthless. They may wonder, “Was I not good enough?” or “What does the other person have that I don’t?” Instead of seeing cheating as their partner’s failure, they blame themselves.
This self-doubt can make leaving difficult. Some people stay because they believe they won’t find anyone better, or they think they don’t deserve better. They settle, even when they know deep down that they shouldn’t.
5. Financial and family reasons
For some, leaving isn’t just an emotional decision, it’s a practical one. Married couples, especially those with children, struggle with the idea of divorce or separation.
Some stay because they can’t afford to leave, others stay to keep their family together while some fear the stigma of being divorced or a single parent.
These concerns are valid, staying in an unhappy or toxic relationship can have long-term emotional consequences.

Should you stay or leave?
At the end of the day, the decision to stay or leave is deeply personal. Some relationships can heal after cheating, while others are simply beyond repair.
If you choose to stay, make sure it’s because you genuinely believe in the relationship, not because of fear, pressure, or insecurity. And if you choose to leave, remember that you deserve love, respect, and loyalty.

There are two main types of seasonal work permits, depending on the duration of employment:
1. Seasonal Work Visa (Up to 3 Months)
If your job is less than 90 days, you’ll need a seasonal work visa.
Nigerians must apply at the Finnish Embassy before travelling.
If you’re from a visa-exempt country, you can apply for a certificate for seasonal work instead.
2. Residence Permit for Seasonal Work (3 to 9 Months)
If your job lasts between 3 to 9 months, you must apply for a residence permit.
This must be obtained before travelling to Finland.

The maximum stay under seasonal work permits is 9 months per 12-month period.
2. Apply for a Different Work Permit (If Eligible)
If you find a full-time, long-term job, you can apply for a residence permit for employed persons (TTOL).
You must have a job offer from a Finnish employer.
The employer must meet salary and contract conditions.
You need to apply before your seasonal work permit expires.
3. Apply for a Student Visa (If Studying in Finland)
If you wish to study in Finland, you can apply for a student residence permit, but you must meet the education and financial requirements.
4. Marriage or Family Reunification
If you marry a Finnish citizen or have family in Finland, you may be eligible for a family residence permit.
The Finland Seasonal Work Permit 2025 presents a valuable opportunity for Nigerians seeking temporary employment abroad. To boost your chances of success, secure a job early, apply through official websites, and ensure all required documents are complete. Stay vigilant and avoid scams by applying through official channels only.

The double standards between men and women nobody talks about

It’s no news that men and women are judged differently for doing the same things. A man who dates multiple people is called a “player,” while a woman in the same situation is labelled “loose” or “immoral.”
A father who takes care of his child is praised for being responsible, but a mother doing the same is told, “That’s just your duty.”
These are just a few examples of the everyday double standards that people rarely talk about. It’s unfair, and it affects everyone in different ways.
Why do these double standards exist? And is there any hope of breaking them?
In dating and relationships, who gets judged more?
One of the most obvious double standards happens in dating. When a man has multiple partners, society praises him. But if a woman does the same, she is labelled an “OS” (slut) or “promiscuous.” Why?
This comes from the old belief that women should be “pure” while men are allowed to explore. But in today’s world, people should be free to date whoever they want without being shamed for it. If a man can date around without judgment, why can’t a woman?

In parenting, who gets the praise?
When a father is seen playing with his kids, feeding them, or even changing a diaper, people say, “Wow, what a great father!” But when a mother does the same, nobody says anything, because it’s “expected” of her.
This double standard assumes that women are naturally responsible for parenting while men only “help.” But being a parent is a shared responsibility. Fathers shouldn’t get extra credit for doing what they should already be doing, and mothers shouldn’t be expected to carry the whole burden alone.
In career and ambition, who faces more pressure?
A man who focuses on his career is seen as “hardworking” and “driven.” But a woman who does the same is sometimes called “selfish” or “too ambitious.”
If she chooses work over starting a family, she’s told she will “regret it” or “end up alone.” Meanwhile, these men are rarely judged for choosing their careers over marriage or kids.
On the flip side, if a woman chooses to be a stay-at-home mum, people say she’s “wasting her potential.” But when a man decides to be a stay-at-home dad, some see him as “lazy” or “weak.”
These outdated ideas don’t make sense anymore. Everyone should be able to choose their career and family path without being judged.
ALSO READ: Why are women still obligated to cook for men?
Appearance and ageing, who has it worse?
Women face intense pressure to look young forever. Wrinkles, grey hair, and weight gain are treated as flaws.
Even in the movie industry, older male actors still get lead roles, while women over 40 often struggle to find work.
Similarly, women are expected to wear makeup and dress well to be considered “presentable,” while men can show up in basic outfits without anyone questioning them.
Emotions and mental health, who’s allowed to feel?
Men are told to “man up” and hide their emotions, while women are labelled as “too emotional” if they express themselves. A man crying is seen as weak, but a woman crying is considered “normal.”
These stereotypes harm both genders. Men should be allowed to express their feelings without shame, and women should be taken seriously when they speak up.

Can we change these double standards?
The answer is not a straightforward one. Our society is slowly evolving, a little too slow if you’d ask me. But on the flip side, more people are speaking up about these issues and challenging old beliefs.
At the end of the day, we all deserve to live without unfair expectations. The sooner we let go of these outdated double standards, the better life will be for everyone.
