Accidental death: Divorced people at higher risk

Image
Divorced people are more likely to die from preventable accidents than their married counterparts, according to a new study.   Divorced people are more likely to die from preventable accidents than their married counterparts, according to a new study from sociologists at Rice University and the University of Pennsylvania. The study also found that single people and those with low educational attainment are at greater risk for accidental death. The study, "The Social Side of Accidental Death", examines the links among social relationships, socio-economic status and how long and well people live. The authors found that divorced people are more than twice as likely as married people to die from what the World Health Organisation (WHO) cites as the most-preventable causes of accidental death (fire, poisoning and smoke inhalation) and equally likely to die from the least-preventable causes of accidental death (air and water transportation mishaps). In addition, compared

Schooling: when one size doesn't fit all

Image
If you feel that your child isn't coping in mainstream schooling, it may be time to start considering alternate options that could provide a better learning environment. Schooling should be a fairly simple affair: take child to school near home or work.  The reality is so far from this, it can be a nightmare, especially when the consideration comes in on the type of schooling, which is generally broken down into three categories: mainstream, remedial and special needs. Doing what is best for the child When those are your options, the decision is as clear as mud (and yes, even children with special needs may be accommodated in a mainstream school). It all boils down to that catchy phrase of whatever is “in the best interest of the child”. The truth is: doing what is best for the child ultimately would mean finding an environment that suits  that specific child , not an environment designed to fit the average child. If your child is one who enjoys their school, this arti

Zahra Buhari Deletes Twitter Account After Followers Slammed Her

Image
Zahra Buhari , the daughter of GMB has deleted her account @Zahra3_ from twitter. After receiving loads of insults from her followers which she obviously didn’t expect, she decided to end her twitter account. She defended her dad on his WASSCE certificate on Monday and instead of receiving supports from her followers, she received the opposite, which is why she took that action. In some tweets directed to her, Twitter users claimed that her father is an illiterate and told her to tell her dad to go and resit for WAEC. So many discouraging and insulting tweets directed to her which should be why she deleted the account. I wonder what will happen if probably, her father wins the elections… she may definitely come back to social media to blast those who insulted her.. and her father. yabaleft

Is your partner using sex to manipulate you?

Image
Sex can be a dangerous tool of manipulation.  Do you find yourself in a situation where someone else is making you feel uncomfortable in terms of their sexual ideas or intent? Are you starting to feel scared or worthless in the company of this person? If this sounds familiar, you may be falling victim to sexual emotional manipulation. Sex and emotional manipulation is always an unhealthy and possibly dangerous situation. The fact is that emotional manipulation can hold a person psychologically captive. What makes this kind of manipulation even more dangerous is that the person being manipulated might not even be aware that they’re being manipulated.   When another person or partner starts playing manipulative sexual games with you, it should be a red flag and a warning sign that the relationship or the sexual intent of the person may be warped and dysfunctional.   A skilled emotional manipulator will try to gain your trust, and will then slowly make sure they break

Fathers Are Saying No To Sexy Time

Image
  A new study reveals why so many new dads are all, 'Not tonight, honey.' Hey, mama, worried that you're the only one whose libido took a nosedive after baby? The good  news  is that dad doesn't want to get it on either —seriously! And no, it's not because he doesn't find spit-up sexy — it's because he's hell-bent on being a good parent. A  new study  conducted by the University of Notre Dame in Indiana tracked the lives and hormones of 433 young guys from the Philippine Islands. Led by Lee Gettler, researchers found that new fathers make  love  less often — and because of that, they're actually better father figures. So, um, celebrate the fact that your guy's more interested in baby than ever before even if that means he's not so interested in making another one anytime soon? During Gettler's study, he found that the most testosterone-fuelled men were the most likely to become fathers, but after having a baby, mom wasn&#
