Zimbabwe seizes plane with dead body and cash on board

A plane with a cargo of millions of South African rand has been impounded in Zimbabwe after a dead body was found on board, state-run media report.

Blood was seen dripping from the South Africa-bound cargo plane during a refuelling stop.
Zimbabwe’s Civil Aviation Authority said the matter had been handed over to the police to investigate.
Its chief, David Chawota, said the cargo on the US-owned plane belonged to the South African Reserve Bank.
A senior official at the bank, Pradeep Maharaj, said: “The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is aware of an aircraft carrying a SARB consignment that stopped in Harare and was detained following the discovery of an unidentified body that is presumed to be a stowaway on the aircraft.”
The bank was working with authorities to ensure that the cargo was released and transported to South Africa.
The plane had been travelling from Germany to South Africa and belonged to Florida-based Western Global Airlines, Zimbabwean officials said.

5 Things You Should Never Say To Your child when Angry

If you’re angry with your child, don’t say a word without first considering the impact it’s going to have on your child. Children sure know how to get on your nerve, but you must control your emotions and get your point across in a rational manner without doing any damage to the emotional development of your children.

Angry on not, stressed out by Nigerian traffic or problems, here are five things a mother or father must not be caught saying to his or her children, no matter how upset she is:

1. You are a mistake!

One of the most deadly sin of parenting is telling your child that his/her birth stole your life away, whether you are a single mother or married mother who had an unwanted pregnancy; don’t transfer your bitterness and resentment to your child. Getting pregnant and having the child is totally your decision so take responsibility for it. No matter what a child has done, don’t ever say he/she is a waste of space or that you should have had an abortion when you had the chance. It is a hurtful thing that no child should hear. It makes them feels like an intruder that disrupted your life and not worthy of love.

2. Why Can’t You Be More Like Your Sister

If you think your child isn’t doing so well, help the child out in a constructive way. Comparing them to others can destroy their self esteem, make them fatally competitive and even damage their relationship with the child you are comparing them to. They could also think that they can only get your approval when they are like someone else and that you don’t love them for who they are. Help your children see the beauty in their own uniqueness by focusing on each individual without using comparisons, when you compare them to others you are indirectly telling them they are not good enough and if they internalize that as a core belief it can lead to undesirable behaviors in the future.

3. Your Father is Good For Nothing

As much as you would want to, you need to bite your tongue on this one. Do not speak negatively about your husband or your children’s father to them. If you are having problems with your spouse talk to an adult don’t put that burden on your children, they are kids and they can’t fully understand complex adult issues. Don’t let them have to worry for you, it will hurt the children and paint negative pictures about relationships to them at any early age. Knowing that their parents are not at peace can also make them fearful and insecured.

As they grow older, they will become much more aware of what is going on, and if your partner really hurt you, they will find out one day anyway. Spare them the headache when they are still young.

4. You should be ashamed of yourself / I am ashamed of you

You can tell your children you are disappointed in their behavior and make them sober for what they have done without shaming them into feeling guilty. There are times when shaming works and produces the behavior we want from a child, but most times it comes along with the feeling of inferiority that can last a life time. The children will carry on the message of “I am wrong,” “I’m not enough,” and “I can never do anything right.”

One act of indiscipline from your children is not enough for you to be ashamed of them or to make them feel ashamed of themselves. We all make mistakes and the important thing is accepting correction, they should never be defined by the mistakes they have made. You don’t even want your children to think you will love them less when they make mistakes.

5. You Are Dumb, You Are So Stupid …

You hurt your child’s feelings every time you use negative words to describe them. Even if the child acts silly often, don’t tag the child as silly. Being called names continuously can leave the child truly believing that he or she is worthless and defective, and they may carry that feeling into adulthood. If you call your child clumsy and stupid every day, what are the chances that the child will stop acting stupid? The child will simply believe he or she can’t be smart like other kids and stop trying to succeed. So if you call your children dumb they are really going to think they are dumb.

Facts and Psychological Impact About Child Soldiers

Hello friends,im sending this article for you to go through because i feel you should be informed about what is going on in our society and our world most especially.

A Child soldier is any person under the age of 18 who is a member of or attached to government armed forces or any other regular or irregular armed force or armed political group,whether or not an armed conflict exists. Child soldiers perform a range of tasks including participation in combat, laying mines and explosives; scouting, spying, acting as decoys,couriers or guards; training, drill or other preparations; logistics and support functions, portering, cooking and domestic labour; and sexual slavery or other recruitment for sexual purposes.

 Hundreds of thousands of children are conscripted, kidnapped, or pressured into

joining armed groups. The proliferation of lightweight weapons has made it possible for children under the age of 10 years to become effective soldiers. Compared to

earlier weapons, which required strong physical force to be an effective fighter, this

is a notable change in technology that has allowed recruiting children as a new class

of fighters, which is a defining characteristic of the ‘new wars.’ The trend in using

children in armed conflict as soldiers is not diminishing. An estimated 300,000 child

soldiers – boys and girls under the age of 18 – are involved currently in more than

30 conflicts worldwide (Child Soldier, 2001; Jayawardena, 2001)

The Psychological Impact of Child Soldiering

Children have no or limited access to information concerning the consequences of

their choice; they neither control nor fully comprehend the structures and forces

that they are dealing with.

•

Children have little knowledge and understanding of the mid- and long-term

consequences of their actions.

•

Children might be told and believe that they have to ‘stand up’ against an enemy,

who would otherwise kill them or hurt their families; they tend to trust and obey

caretakers’ and families’ or key community leaders’ judgement on this.

•

Children might believe that they have to take the place of a family member, who

would otherwise be enlisted, or to avenge a family member, who has been killed

by the ‘enemy,’ which might constitute a emotionally perceived life-threat for the

child.

•

Conditions of civil war and armed conflict undermine the ability of families and

communities to protect the young of both sexes (Druba, 2002); parents might

then be driven to give in to the powerful influence of militia leaders of their own

ethnic group. Enlistment on the part of the parents or caretakers can never be

considered ‘voluntary’ on part of the child.

 Look at these Facts:

1. Child soldiers are any children under the age of 18 who are recruited by a state or non-state armed group and used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies, or for sexual purposes.
2. In the last 15 years, the use of child soldiers has spread to almost every region of the world and every armed conflict. Though an exact number is impossible to define, thousands of child soldiers are illegally serving in armed conflict around the world.
3. Some children are under the age of 10 when they are forced to serve.
4. Two-thirds of states confirm that enrollment of soldiers under the age of 18 should be banned to prohibit forced child soldiers, as well as 16- and 17-year-old armed force volunteers.
5. Children who are poor, displaced from their families, have limited access to education, or live in a combat zone are more likely to be forcibly recruited.

The Husband and Father's Role

When a man enters into a covenant relationship with his bride, he commits to the responsibilities of loving, honoring and cherishing her. As a husband, the strength you need in order to carry out these responsibilities ultimately flows out of your relationship with God. It requires a moment-by-moment dependence on God's Spirit. It takes time and discipline to maintain, especially with the many obstacles that cross your path – in your case, raising a child with special needs.
The vows you shared included "for better or worse, in sickness and in health." There was never a thought about the possibility of having a special needs child, nor any discussion of how much stress and strain such a situation would put on your marriage. And in the midst of life's challenges is another: being the husband and father God calls us to be.
We can't let the obstacles of life get in the way of building a strong marriage. When we fail to sacrificially love our wife as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25), we begin to compromise this most cherished relationship. As a husband, and as the father of a special needs adult child, it's a daily challenge to stay focused when the challenges of caregiving collide with the needs of my wife and other children.
Raising a child with special needs, while at the same time nurturing my relationship with my wife, requires that I make time to communicate with my wife every day. What I need to communicate most is my love. In our situation, I went off to work while my wife stayed home and cared for our children. When one or more of children have special needs, you can be certain that a wife's daily responsibilities have been full and challenging. Recognizing that fact was the first step toward realizing that no matter what kind of day I had, my wife "had a day," too!
When our children were small, it was great when she gave me a bit of time to regroup from my day. We had dinner together as a family, and then I would give her a break from the children. I'd take the kids for walks in nice weather or play in the backyard. As the kids grew, my time with them might include helping with homework, playing video games or just talking. Cindi appreciated this time alone without worrying about the needs of the children; time alone to think without the noise and commotion that she'd endured all day long; time for an evening out with friends to simply "get away." Taking care of the kids was a way for me to serve my wife, letting her know that I was committed to her and cherished her. As a result, we were able to demonstrate God's unconditional love and grace to each other and to the children, and become an example to those around us.
In addition to my role as a husband, one of my greatest titles is "Dad." Fathers are to sacrificially love our children. We demonstrate to our children that we care for them by making them a priority. Cultivating relationships with each child requires time, discipline and intentionality. When so much time is spent caring for the child(ren) with special needs, it's easy to lose track of our other children's needs. It is a challenge to spend both quality and quantity time with the other children. Each one needs to know with absolute certainty that we love them. Spending time with them goes a long way toward making them feel protected and loved.
I was intentional about "dating" my two girls. Our regular dates included restaurants, local events and festivals, the zoo, walks, jogs, movies, ice cream and other fun things. Our dates were also opportunities to talk, ask questions, and sometimes just to listen to them. These are some of my fondest memories of their childhoods, and we continue to enjoy our special times together (even with one daughter married and the other in college).
We invested time in teaching all of our children God's Word. We'd discuss current topics of interest to each and used these opportunities to guide them. These teaching moments may not have connected with Joey in the same way they did for the girls, but we included him as much as we could. Without question, Joey required a different kind of time and attention.
As a dad, I once dreamed of playing sports with a son – maybe even coaching – but because that wasn't to be, I found other ways to "connect" with Joey. He spent a lot of time doing repetitive therapies in his early years, but as he grew older, he and I began to connect playing video games. We have learned to play sports together … through video! He excels at baseball and my forte' is football, but we still connect and have fun together!
Yes, it takes time. But if we want to pass on our faith and impact future generations for Christ, we must spend quality and quantity time with each of our children. When we leave a godly legacy, we can look back with great satisfaction.
It's been my observation that many men are overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the husbands and fathers God has called them to be. Yet we have this assurance: that "nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37). As we ask God to empower us as men, we can give our children not just an inheritance, but a heritage. And we can give our wife what she needs most – to be loved, honored and cherished.

The skillful husband

Most women think their husbands should know everything about sex and most men even believe that about themselves. This way, there is no room for improvement. Sex is an art which can be learnt and improved on. In the bedroom, you have an option to either be a shallow husband or a skillful husband. Come with me as I elaborate on how you can be a skillful husband of a happy wife.
Strategy 1
A skillful husband knows that the mind is the strongest sex organ of his wife; hence, he is devoted to meeting her emotional needs.
Strategy 2
A skillful husband is a total husband, a real man. He loves his wife not because of sex, but because of her person. He will do everything to show his woman that he cares.
Strategy 3
A skillful husband will do everything to defend, protect and provide for his wife.
Strategy 4
A skillful husband will not rape his wife but knows how to work on her to get her in the mood.
Strategy 5
A skillful husband is selfless in bed. In fact, he focuses on the enjoyment of his wife.
Strategy 6    
A skillful husband is not angry when his wife is not available for sex. Rather, he faces it maturely, meeting the needs of his wife.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

Laughter is good for your health

• Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
• Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
• Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
• Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.
More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh–or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter really is contagious—just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun.

The link between laughter and mental health

• Laughter dissolves distressing emotions. You can’t feel anxious, angry, or sad when you’re laughing.
• Laughter helps you relax and recharge. It reduces stress and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more.
• Humor shifts perspective, allowing you to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light. A humorous perspective creates psychological distance, which can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Creating opportunities to laugh

• Watch a funny movie or TV show.
• Go to a comedy club.
• Read the funny pages.
• Seek out funny people.
• Share a good joke or a funny story.
• Check out your bookstore’s humor section.
• Host game night with friends.
• Play with a pet.
• Go to a “laughter yoga” class.
• Goof around with children.
• Do something silly.
• Make time for fun activities (e.g. bowling, miniature golfing, karaoke).

How to get rid of Mouth Odour

Is anything worse than seeing people turn their faces away from you when you are talking to them? Bad breath or mouth odour (also known as halitosis or malodor) can be very embarrassing and tough on those around you. Millions of people suffer from mouth odour without even realizing it because people are afraid to tell them. It is not very often that you have a friend who will be bold enough to tell you that your breathe is exuding an offensive odour. A lot of times they do not want you to feel embarrassed and they will rather endure the odour than tell you or even in a subtle way try to offer you solutions. Bad breath is often caused by a buildup of bacteria in your mouth that causes inflammation and gives off noxious odours. When you don’t brush or floss regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in your mouth and between your teeth. The compounds released by these bacteria make your breathe smell.

Whatever the cause, all hope is not lost as there are ways to solve mouth odour problem. It involves correcting the underlying disorder. Below are solutions to mouth odour.

 1. Drink plenty of water: Bacteria’s sworn enemy is oxygen, which is found in your own saliva. Drinking water makes you produce more saliva, which in turn neutralizes bad breath. 

2. Scrape your tongue: Each morning, scrape your tongue with a tongue scrapper or spoon to decrease the bacteria, fungi and dead cells that can cause odour. Hold the tip of the tongue with gauze to pull it forward in order to clean the back of the tongue. 

3. Rinse with mouthwash: Some mouthwashes do more than leave breath smelling minty; they contain antiseptic agents, such as cetylpyridinium chloride, to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis, which can also cause bad breath. Studies show that chlorine dioxide is very effective at neutralizing the stinky volatile sulfur compounds created by oral bacteria.

 4. Eat vegetables: Fibrous vegetables, such as celery and cucumbers, boost your mouth’s saliva production, which washes away odor-causing bacteria. In fact, holding a slice of cucumber between your tongue and the roof of your mouth for about 90 seconds helps limit odor. Crunchy vegetables help remove plaque on teeth and gums, which bacteria can feed on, says Gregg Lituchy, a cosmetic dentist in New York City.

5. Sugar-free gum: Again, it’s all about saliva. Chewing gum increases the production of saliva and chewing just one piece makes your mouth create up to 10 times more saliva than usual. But not just any pack will do. Sugar-free mints also stimulate saliva production and temporarily mask odor. 

6. Practice good oral hygiene: Brush twice a day to remove food debris and plaque and don’t forget to brush your tongue. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months or after an illness. Use floss to remove food particles and plaque between teeth once a day. 

7. Arrange regular dental checkups and cleanings: You should see a dentist regularly, at least twice a year. He or she will conduct an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning and will be able to detect and treat periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other problems that may be the cause of bad mouth odor.

Donald Trump will not be president – Obama

Republican Donald Trump will not be president because it’s a “serious job”, President Barack Obama has said.
“I continue to believe that Mr Trump will not be president. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people,” said Mr Obama.
Mr Trump, a billionaire businessman, is the frontrunner in the race to be his party’s choice for the White House.
He has won one state primary already, and leads the polls in South Carolina, where Republicans vote on Saturday.
Speaking at the Asean economic summit in California, the president was asked by a reporter about Mr Trump.
The electorate will not pick him, said Mr Obama, because “they recognise that being president is a serious job”.
“It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show, it’s not promotion, it’s not marketing, it’s hard. It’s not a matter of pandering and doing whatever will get you in the news on a given day.”
Mr Trump responded by saying it was a compliment to be criticised by a president who had done so much damage to the country.

Family Planning: 6 Important Facts Every Couple Should Know

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), up to 225 million women, most of whom are Africans require family planning but are not on any form of it. If they had access to modern methods of family planning, as many as 24 million abortions, 6 million miscarriages, 70000 maternal deaths and 500000 infant deaths could have been prevented.

 In this article, we will take a look at various family planning options and the benefits derivable from them.

1. Condoms Lower the risk of HIV and other STIs
Apart from providing contraception and preventing unwanted pregnancies by serving as a mechanical barrier between sperm and eggs, condoms, when correctly and consistently used can also reduce your risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea. Condoms achieve this by preventing contact between the skin and infected body fluids as long as there is no slippage or breakage.

2. Combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs) offer significant protection from cancers
These pills are usually made up of oestrogen and progestogen components in order to prevent ovulation by inhibiting the follicle stimulating and luteinizing hormones. Most formulations contain 21 hormonally active pills followed by 7 placebo pills to facilitate consistent daily intake throughout a 28-day menstrual cycle. Oral contraceptive pills prevent benign breast disease, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and functional cysts. In addition, the use of COCs has been associated with a 50% risk reduction for endometrial adenocarcinoma. They also provide protection against ovarian cancers.

3. Contraceptive implants are also available
For women who are breastfeeding or have challenges with complying with oral tablets or injections, contraceptive implants are a suitable option. For instance, implanon is a single-rod implant that can be inserted underneath the skin where it then releases 68mg of etonogestrel slowly at a predetermined rate over a period of 3 years. Throughout this period, contraception is reliably provided without any further need to swallow pills or receive intramuscular injections. Plus, once the rod is removed after 3 years, return to fertility is usually dramatic within 3 weeks.

4. Consistent breastfeeding provides natural contraception
Not many mothers are aware that consistent and exclusive breastfeeding of their babies during the first six months of life is a form of natural contraception. It is referred to as the Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) and it prevents the cyclical release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). Little wonder most mothers do not menstruate while exclusively breastfeeding their babies. Therefore, breastfeeding is beneficial for both mother and baby since it not only promotes bonding between them but also provides contraception at no extra cost to the mother.

5. Family planning reduces maternal and child mortality
Family planning has achieved tremendous results in reducing the maternal and childhood mortality rates globally. For instance, it has been discovered that a woman who has more than 4 children (grandmultiparity) stands a higher risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth. Similarly, the use of contraceptives has reduced the incidence of unwanted pregnancies among teenagers especially girls less than 18 years who are more likely to suffer adverse events like prolonged obstructed labour and unsafe abortions during pregnancy and delivery. Evidently, obstructed labour and abortions are leading causes of maternal mortality. In the same vein, such under-age girls are more likely to deliver preterm or low birth weight babies who have less chances of survival.


6. Family planning prevents unwanted pregnancies among HIV positive women
One of the major strategies adopted for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS (PMTCT) is the prevention of unwanted pregnancies among women that have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Such women are adequately counselled on the numerous available family planning techniques and assisted in making the best choice for them so that they can only get pregnant when they are ready to do so. Even then, they are placed on antiretroviral drugs to protect the foetus. Undoubtedly, this has reduced the incidence of paediatric HIV/AIDS among newborns in our society.

In conclusion, it is obvious that a wide range of family planning options are available nowadays with their potential benefits. The onus lies on you to consult your healthcare giver who can help you make the best choice tailored towards meeting your own unique needs.

ISIS beheads 15-year-old Iraqi boy for listening to pop music

According to reports, the jihadist group that has captured wide swaths of Syria and Iraq has beheaded a 15-year-old boy in Mosul for the crime of listening to Western pop music.

Reports cite officials in the northern Iraqi city as saying that the boy, Ayham Hussein, was discovered by ISIS henchman as he was listening to a portable compact disc player.

Hussein was detained by ISIS operatives as he sat inside a shop owned by his father in an open-air market in western Mosul. The boy was beaten and tried in a local sharia court, which sentenced him to be executed.
“The boy was executed by beheading in a town square in the center of the city,” a source told Kurdish media.

Uganda blocks Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp on election day as.....!

Ugandan government has blocked social media platforms to curtail communication on the day the country chooses a new president.
Many social media enthusiasts cannot access Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp platforms.
These are the most important platforms as far as information dissemination is concerned.
If you are lucky to access any, you may find posting anything as hard as milking a stone.

In many parts of Kampala, voters are stranded on polling stations without ballots.
In Kabale, ballots had not yet arrived by 1am in the morning.
Addressing press yesterday, the inspector General of police said he feared social media more than bullets.
While saying social media was the hardest thing to control, it seems government through its regulatory body, Uganda Communications Commission, has finally found a solution—blocking it until voting ends at 4pm.

The blockage comes at a time opposition is accusing the army, police and crime preventers of ballot stuffing.
Government says the blockage will continue for 24 hours to prevent those who would incite the population through social media.

Health benefit of cashew

A nutritionist, Jummai Abdul, has recommended the consumption of cashew fruit juice for enhanced sexual activities, including energy boost in males and females during intercourse.

She said that the juice also helps in the prevention of heart diseases and stroke. 

Ms. Abdul, a nutritionist at the Wuse General Hospital, made the recommendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday.

“Cashew fruit contain fats that promote healthy hearts, and reduce high triglyceride level that is associated with increased risk of heart diseases.

“Excess calories are stored as triglycerides in the body. Triglycerides provide much of the energy for cell function,’’ she said.

The nutritionist noted that eating a handful of cashew nuts a day would provide enough essential minerals like manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium for deficiency disease prevention. She also said that cashew fruits were rich in calcium that enhanced healthy muscles and bones in the body, including vitamin C which, she said, was a powerful remedy for colds.

Nike terminates deal with Manny Pacquiao

Nike has terminated its relationship with Manny Pacquiao after the six-weight world champion described homosexuals as "worse than animals".

The 37-year-old, who is running for a senate seat in his native Philippines, later apologised for his comments.
"We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent," said a Nike statement.
"Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community."
The sportswear company added: "We no longer have a relationship with Manny Pacquiao."
Pacquiao's original remark was made in a television interview and he initially appeared unrepentant, writing on Instagram that he was "just telling the truth of what the Bible says".
However, he later wrote on Facebook he was "not condemning LGBT", while still voicing his opposition for gay marriage.
Pacquiao, whose last fight was a defeat by Floyd Mayweather in May, is due to fight American Timothy Bradley Jr in Las Vegas in April.
