One of Nigeria's leading pharmaceutical companies, Zadip Healthcare LTD, has introduced a new Anti-malaria medication called Medither-DS. Laris is an anti-malaria drug with 480 mg Lumefentrin and 80mg Artemether, a powerful Arteminism Combination Therapy, (ACT).

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria is the most common type of malaria found in Sub-Saharan Africa and responsible for more than 880,0000 malaria-related fatalities that occur a year.

According to research by the World Health Organisation, artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) regimens have been shown to effectively treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in endemic areas.

Due to its efficacy, ACT malaria drugs are considered one of the best and most sought after in the market, making it expensive for some consumers.

Malaria sufferers will be happy to learn that Medither-DS offers quality treatment at an affordable price. The introduction of this new and effective anti-malaria medication is a great feat in the fight against Malaria in Nigeria.

For Zadip Healthcare Ltd, launching Medither-DS is another step in expanding the company’s pharmaceutical portfolio.

With its fully integrated logistics, warehousing and sales operations, as well as its strong distribution networks across Nigeria and within the West African Sub-region, industry watchers predict that with the launch of Medither-DS, a large chunk of ACT malaria drug market will be captured by Zadip Healthcare Ltd.

Go on the street and ask a random stranger if he has a blog. The answer will almost certainly be “yes.”
Blogging has become so popular today that every Tom, Dick, and Harry has one. Some even multiple blogs.

You may be asking, what really is all the rave about owning a blog? Well, people enter the world of blogging for various reasons. Some, to express their opinions on different topics and issue, some, to share information with other, some, to make money, and others, just for the fun of it.

Whatever your reason for being, or wanting to be, a blogger, there are certain tenets you need to adhere to in order to thrive in such a saturated and highly competitive area.

Here are 5 tips that, if you follow, religious, will make you thrive in the blogosphere.
1. Know and understand your audience

While this might sound like a cliche, it’s actually very important if you want to succeed as a blogger. The better you know who you’re writing for, the better equipped you’ll be to provide content that they’ll enjoy.

2. Be consistent

Research has shown that consistent blogging actually leads to higher subscriber growth rates. If you hope to keep your audience coming back to your blog, you need to be consistent. Nobody will return to a blog that doesn’t post consistently.

3. Find your voice and stick to it

This is probably one of the hardest but most fulfilling aspects of being a blogger. People do not connect with ‘sites’ but with other people. You should know that what matters, what readers really resonate with, isn’t so much what you say, but how.

4. Focus on building an amazing call-to-action

This is a very good technique for growing not just your blog but other things you hope to introduce your audience too. For example, you can end your blog post with some kind of call to action to sign up for an email list or follow you on Twitter.

5. Be patient, it takes time

What makes many bloggers fall on the roadside is impatience, especially those who venture into blogging with the sole aim of making money without wanting to invest as much time and effort. Blogging, like any other business, requires time to grow. It doesn’t just happen overnight. So, trust yourself and keep at it, and you’ll be reaping the benefits in no time.

Many people tend to ask this question "Is Ronaldo really surpassing Messi?" This is an age-old question. And to people who understand how they play, a dumb one.
Let's Start With Messi
Messi’s game is very, very easy on the eyes, especially to amateur football fans. That’s because Messi is the type of footballer who excels with the ball at his feet. When he has the ball, Messi the magician is the undisputed best in the world: he dribbles, he scores, and he provides the killer pass to serve goals on a platter for his teammates to score. With the ball, there’s no better footballer in the world, not even Cristiano. It has been that way since he’s burst into the football world under Pep Guardiola.

However, there’s a key weakness of Pep’s all-conquering Barça, which people found out the hard way: without the ball, Messi can’t dominate matches. Cut off his ball supply, through close marking, dominating the midfield, or high pressing and counter-pressing and you cut off nearly all of his potency. That’s why Barça had to spend a lot to buy Neymar and Suarez to stop people from ganging up on Messi.

Every once in a while you should give your body a break from pounding the pavement, whether you're running, dancing, or playing sports. But before you take this as a sign to sink even deeper into the sofa, try a low-impact workout. They're easier on your body—your joints will thank you—and they can be a great way to get in a heart-pumping workout without worrying too much about injuries.
Most trainers define low-impact as any exercise where one foot stays on the ground at all times. But rather than doing single-leg dead lifts until keeling over, we rounded up 21 low- (or no!) impact exercises worth trying:

Walking

1. Walking

Walking is a stress-free way to get moving. If taking a lesiurely stroll is too easy, there are plenty of ways to add intensity: Hit the hills or add weights (try dumbbells or ankle weights) to really get that heart rate up.

2. Elliptical

Sorry, treadmills. Ellipticals take the cake when it comes to putting less stress on your legs. Try spicing up your routine on the elliptical with a 20-minute interval workout.

3. StairMaster

Feel winded every time you go up a set of stairs? It's time to get acquinated with the StairMaster. No gym nearby? No problem. Any old stairs will work—just follow this workout.

4. Strength training

We already have a list of 19 reasons to strength train, and here's one more: Most strength training exercises are low impact, and they still work up a sweat. (Keep in mind monster box jumps wearing a weighted vest don't exactly qualify.)

5. Cycling

We've loved biking ever since we finally took off our training wheels. It just so happens to be a great way to fit in some exercise without putting a strain on your joints. And you don't even need to sign up for an indoor cycling class to see results.

Rowing Machine

6. Rowing

Here's a super-easy way to get in some cardio while also pretending that you're soaking up some sun on a boat. Of course, the florescent lights in the gym eventually snap you back to reality. But at least you'll be working out your arms, back, legs, and core. (Give this 30-minute rowing workout a go.) Score!

7. Kayaking

Want to actually hit the water? Grab a kayak and jump in (or maybe don't jump in, if you want to stay dry)! Kayaking works your arms and core (no crunches necessary), and you can see some stellar sights along the way.

8. Tai Chi

This gentle, fluid movement improves flexibility and may even ward off headaches. (Whether that includes hangover headaches is unclear.)

9. Hiking

Looking to upgrade your walks? Take a hike! To keep things low impact, start with low-grade terrain. Save climbing Everest for later.

10. Rock climbing

Climbing requires slow, controlled movements, which means your muscles get a serious workout without the added strain.
