The Undertaker acknowledges the crowd after losing to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 33, in what turned out to be the last match of his WWE career.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend Mark Calaway, better known by his ring name The Undertaker , bowed out of the industry after losing to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33 on Sunday.
The loss to Reigns was only the second defeat for The Undertaker at WrestleMania , where he had won an unprecedented 23 matches in his career.

Since this issue can be caused by quite a few things this guide is going to include advice for troubleshooting both your Android smartphone and your Wi-Fi network and will begin with the more commonly successful solutions for resolving this problem and will proceed from there.

Make sure to follow all of the advice suggested in this guide. Different causes may require different methods of troubleshooting in order to get to the root of problem and prevent this from happening further.

The most likely reasons why this is happening

This is most often the result of a problem on or with the Wi-Fi network itself and NOT an issue with the
phone. If other devices are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and seem to be working properly this can (and often is) still the result of a network related problem.

To find out for sure then you can try using your smartphone on another network. If your cell phone can connect to and access the internet with other Wi-Fi networks without any issues then you might be able to hold off on trouble shooting your phones for wifi issues for the time being and concentrate on troubleshooting the wifi network that seems to be having problems as it is likely the reason for not having an internet connection.

But we’ll get to all that a little later. Chances are good that the advice listed below will work and with any luck it should solve this internet issue with your Androids Wi-Fi connection quickly and with minimal fuss.

Soft reset the network

Performing a soft reset on your Wi-Fi network should be the first thing that you try when troubleshooting this issue, especially if this just suddenly happened for no logical reason and your phone was working fine and then just suddenly lost its internet connection.
A soft reset of your network is a common solution and can often help fix the internet on your Android phone and luckily there is no loss of data whatsoever.

Simply unplug the power cable from your router/modem wait 30 seconds to a minute and then plug the power cord back into the router/modem. It may take a few minutes for the network to start up again so give it 2-5 minutes to make sure everything was able to boot up as it’s supposed to and then check your cell phone to see if the internet is working or not.
If it is then enjoy your working internet and don’t forget to share or like this article at the bottom of this guide… if this didn’t help and your smartphone is still having trouble accessing the internet then continue with the troubleshooting suggestions listed below.

Soft reset your cell phone

If rebooting your network didn’t help then try rebooting your phone. Simply select the restart option or choose to turn it off entirely and then boot it up normally. After it reboots then test to see if the internet has started working properly or not.
If not then try performing a soft reset on the device by removing the battery while the unit is powered on, then wait for a minute, re-insert the battery, and start up the phone. Now not every Android smartphone has a removable battery so if your battery is built into your phone and it is non-removable then you can skip the physical battery pull as maybe your device allows a simulated battery pull instead. Just don’t forget to power cycle your device one way or the other. Turn it off and then turn it on.
Check your browser and home page

Make sure that you verify that your internet is in fact malfunctioning as opposed to an issue with your web browser or even worse a problematic
home page.

Open your web browser and in the address bar (where it shows what web page you are on) type in the URL of a website that you KNOW is working. I suggest typing in https://www.google.com/ or simply google.com (don’t forget to press the Enter or Search key after you have finished typing the URL in order to load the page).

If the webpage ends up loading successfully and you can perform a search through the Google search engine then that is a great sign as it indicates that there is not a problem with your phone or its internet but it’s an issue with the web page your phone is trying to load by default. Changing your phones default home page should fix this little hiccup and it will no longer appear like the internet is malfunctioning on your cell phone.

President Muhammadu Buhari pledged Tuesday in Abuja his administration's ongoing war against corruption will be vigorously sustained to rid the country of the debilitating effects of the wanton looting of public funds in past years.

Addressing State House staff who assembled to welcome him back from his recent vacation, President Buhari assured them that he will continue to lead the country with patriotic zeal, integrity, dedication and
commitment to improving the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians.

"I have never in my life believed in corruption. If we make any mistake in what we are doing and compromise our integrity, the country will be further dragged back.

"We’ll not touch anybody that did not touch public funds. If you behave yourself, you will sleep soundly, your children and families will enjoy respect.

"But if you have short-changed the treasury, you will be caught and you’ll have your day in court,’’ the President said.

President Buhari thanked the State House staff for their service to the nation and urged them to remain patriotic and eschew corruption in the discharge of their duties.

"I’m asking you to re-dedicate yourself to your country. As I said thirty years ago we have no other country than Nigeria. We are determined to rehabilitate the country for coming generations.

"The process of change is not easy but with your dedication, we can deal successfully with the issues that currently confront us,’’ the President said.

There is a lot of money in the cell phone and smartphone market and when money is involved there are always fraudsters looking to make quick profit from it.

Since high quality smartphones can cost thousands of naira it makes sense that you will want to search for the best deals on such devices. By using the suggestions in this guide and by keeping its advice in mind when
searching for a smartphone to buy you will be more likely to be able to spot a fake or imitation smartphones and avoid those types of devices. I hope this article helps you differentiate between the fake and original smartphone.
Clones and copies of actual smartphones are just that, clones and copies and these devices are meant to look like their legitimate counterparts.

As such finding reproductions is often meant to be a challenge. Make sure to review all of the suggestions in this article. You are going to want to pinpoint abnormal qualities in order to spot a fake smartphone.

Some clones might be spot on in some areas while lacking in others. Don’t check just a single feature on the phone and assume that it’s the real. Keep all of the following tips in mind when reviewing and assessing a smartphone; especially if the phone or deal for that phone seems too good to be true.

Branding

Most smartphones, especially expensive ones, are going to include some kind of branding. After all a brand helps show a products reputation as a
quality piece of merchandise.
So look for these brands somewhere on the phone.
Typically you can expect to see the name of the phones manufacture somewhere on the device. An iPhone is going to have an Apple name or logo somewhere on the device. Samsung is going to put “Samsung” somewhere on the device. This holds true with most of the well-known manufactures; Apple, Samsung, Sony, Motorola, LG, HTC, Blackberry, etc. They like to put their brand on their product and usually it’s in plain sight.
This often (but not always) includes the name of the phone as well or at least the name of that line or series of phone. You will likely see “XPERIA” branded somewhere on an Android smartphone produced by Sony. You’re going to run across the word “Galaxy” on Samsung’s line of Galaxy phones. “iPhone” on Apple’s smartphones. LG has their Optimus series. Motorola has their Atrix smartphones. Although for some reason while the name of the manufacture is usually well branded LG and Motorola have not chosen to brand the word “Optimus” or “Atrix” on their lines of smartphones for some reason…
So don’t always count on the name or model of that specific phone to be branded or shown on it but you should certainly seek out the name of the manufacture on just about every phone you encounter.
So for example, if someone is trying to sell you a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and that smartphone does not show the word SAMSUNG printed anywhere on the exterior of the phone itself then that phone is NOT a Samsung Galaxy phone and you should automatically assume that it’s a fake.

Genuine vs fake smartphones

Now that we have discussed branding this next tip is a fantastic tool and a great method to use when verifying if a smartphone is real or not. After all an imitation Samsung could just as easily say “Samsung” while not actually being a phone manufactured by Samsung. This is true for just about any smartphone clone or counterfeit.
So how can you tell the difference between a legitimate brand and a fabricated one?
Check to see how it feels. A genuine logo will almost always be flat and you will not be able to feel it at all. If the logo is raised and you can feel it when you run your finger over it then that phone is likely a counterfeit. That brand or logo should be smooth to the touch and you shouldn’t be able to feel a difference between it and the rest of the phone. If you run a fingernail across the manufactures name and you can feel your fingernail meet resistance because that name was painted on or is a decal or sticker that was applied to the phone then that phone is likely a phony.
This is a powerful tool to use when identifying a clone as a replica may be designed to look exactly like the genuine article but this little flaw can give it away as just another imitation.

Check the Device Identifier


Every genuine smartphone will have its own device identifier which is unique to that specific phone.
This number may be referred to as the phones IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity) or MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier) number and you should be able to locate this unique number somewhere on the device. Many phones include this number printed on a sticker within the phones battery compartment. You can also sometimes find it by typing *#06# in the phones dialer as though you were dialing a telephone number, or within the phones settings.
This unique number can be used to verify the legitimacy of a smartphone and can also be used to determine if the phone was reported lost or stolen.
Counterfeit phones will not have a legitimate device identifier. It may not show one at all or it may show one that is fake.
If the device identifier in your phones settings, or dialer, does not match the device identifier printed on that label found on the exterior of your phone then there is a problem and you should be concerned.

well,am going to stop here for now but if you want to see more differences,click the http://www.technetcruz.com/2016/06/how-to-differentiate-between-original.html

In my article today, am going to show you the difference between an android and windows smartphone and you are going to decide which one is the best.

The difference between a windows and an android phone lies in the software.

Both phones have a unique Operating System (OS) that allows the phone to function.
Windows mobile phones run on the Windows OS (Operating System) which was created and is maintained by Microsoft; Android phones operate on the Android OS which is owned and maintained by Google.

Instead of the iOS which can only be found on iPhones which are solely manufactured and sold by Apple (think Mac computers), and BlackBerry phones which are maintained and sold by BlackBerry Limited formerly known as Research In Motion Limited (RIM), the Windows and Android Operating Systems are used by many different manufactures.

The Windows OS can be found on phones made by Samsung, HTC, LG, Huawei, etc.

The Android OS can also be found on phones manufactured by Samsung, HTC, LG, Huawei, etc.
The iOS on the other hand can only be found on iPhones which are only manufactured by Apple.
This opens up a wider selection of phones to choose from produced by a larger range of manufactures to choose from, many of which operate on the same software excluding a few minor differences that may or may not be added by the phones manufacture or the phones wireless carrier.

Differences in Software

Windows and Android phones both run on very different Operating Systems which are constantly evolving and changing to become more efficient, more powerful and more user friendly.
Visible Differences
If you held an Android phone in one hand and a Windows phone in the other hand what would be the best way to tell the two phones apart?
When looking at the display screens of a Windows phone and an Android phone when both phones are powered on you will see a noticeable difference between the two types of phones.
A Windows phone has a very unique look to it. As opposed to the standard icons that you might find on a typical computer or an iPhone or even an Android phone the Windows Mobile OS has a very Window-y, Block, Square or “Tile” look in place of Icons.
Take this into account when deciding on a Windows phone. Though the Windows OS has a very clean and crisp look and using it is very straight forward it might take a little time getting used to it if you haven’t used a phone with windows OS. Don’t let this deter you from choosing a Windows phone of course, just keep it in mind. The user interface of a Windows phone is quite different then what you might be used to but on a touch screen device like a smartphone or tablet it can be very user friendly and easy to work with.

Applications

One of the main things often considered when someone is choosing to get either a Windows or Android smartphone are the Applications that are available for that device. Applications allow a much more enjoyable experience on your smartphone and are one of the most desired features on a smartphone as they can increase the devices usability as well as its entertainment value.
As a minor example of how applications can be useful, you might not carry around a flashlight with you wherever you go but you’ll often have your phone with you. There are many different flashlight applications to choose from which will allow you to transform the flash of your smartphones camera into a flashlight.
If you like watching movies then you could download your favorite streaming media service’s official application to watch your favorite videos, shows and movies.
There are thousands of apps to choose from on both Windows and Android smartphones. Whether you wish to download one of the many popular games available or a weather application or a fitness or diet app, a vehicle fuel tracking or pricing app, music apps, news apps, a customizable texting app, social networking apps, etc.
These are just a few examples (don’t worry the flashlight feature is available to both types of phones), but typically the more app selection the better.
Currently the Google Play Store (Android’s App Store) has quite a larger selection of apps to choose from then the Windows Store.



Lock Screen

While both Windows and Android cell phones have access to a variety of different applications which allow further customization to the phones lock screen both types of phones allow you to personalize this screen right about of the box.
The Lock screen is the screen on your phone which you see if you have chosen to setup a password or before accessing the full functionality of your cell phone which can allow you to view key information about your phone with a quick glance and without the need to even unlock your phone.
This type of information often includes recent notifications, the time and date, weather information, and no customization would be complete without a personalized background image.
When comparing the lock screen customization options available on both Android and Windows phones both phones hold their own pretty well against one another. Throw in the possibility of customization through a third party application and you can have access to some powerful personalization before even unlocking your cell phone.

Home Page

The screen that you see when you first turn on and unlock your cell phone can be one of the most important components of your phone as it’s kind of like the nerve center of a smartphone. Through this screen you access all of the different functionalities and features available on your cell phone.

The Home screen of an android cell phone is pretty similar to many other smartphone and can be compared to the look and feel of the desktop on a standard PC (before Windows 8 computers of course). The Home page is one of the most accessed and utilized screens when using an Android device and consists of shortcut icons which lead to different folders, features and settings on that device.
Out of the box the Home screen for an Android cell phone usually consists of a phone icon, used for making calls; a Contacts icon, for accessing the phones address book; a Messaging icon, for sending text or multimedia messages; an Internet icon, for accessing the world wide web; and an Apps icon used to access the list of applications which are installed on the device. Many Androids also include shortcut icons on their primary home pages that lead to the Email, Calendar, Camera, and Play Store applications.
Android cell phones allow you to add additional pages to the Home screen, designate a primary Home screen, rearrange these pages and of course add shortcuts to these pages which lead to your commonly used apps or widgets. This handy feature allows for a clean and easy to access interface on the phone.

The Home screen on a Windows phone looks very different than what you might be used to and certainly stands out when compared to the Operating Systems and user interface available on other smartphones. It consists of closely aligned “Tiles”. Blocks of features, many of which lead directly to the function that you which to access and don’t require you to click several times to get where you want to go.
As opposed to Android where you can run out of screen space and have to create new Pages for the Home screen as you can only fit so many shortcut icons on any given screen the Windows Home screen not only allows you to rearrange its Tiles but allows to you resize them as well to maintain a clean look and feel on the phone. This nifty feature is debatably one of the primary characteristics that set Windows phones apart from just about any other smartphone.

Other Devices

Another thing that you might want to consider is the phones compatibility with other devices.
If you plan on connecting your new smartphone to other devices such as a smart watch, or if you plan on keeping your phone synced to a fitness device, or wish to sync your phone to your cars stereo system then the Android platform is arguably the best choice available.
popularity of windows vs android smartphones.
While both Windows and Android are two of the most popular types of smartphones in the world Android is the more popular of the two platforms.
In fact Android dominates the smartphone market share by a huge margin followed by Apples iOS (the iPhone) with Windows smartphones coming in third. While the Windows OS is growing in popularity amongst smartphone users Android phones still have a commanding lead over the competition.

Remove the phone from water immediately.

Remove the phone from the water or moisture as quickly as possible. If you dropped your phone in the toilet take it out of the toilet, if you realized your phone fell inside the gutter filled with water, remove it quickly or Whatever the circumstance separate your phone from that source of moisture as quickly as you can.

Don’t press anything

Do not try to test your phone to see if it is working and do not use it until it has completely dried.
Switch off your power
If water or some other liquid was just dropped onto your phone, your phone was just dropped or
submerged in water, or if your phone was just exposed to moisture in some other way shape or form then the first thing that you need to do is to try and cut the power to the phone in order to decrease the possibility of an electrical short.

Pull the battery

If your phone is designed to allow you to remove the battery then take out the battery immediately. Don’t bother turning your phone off; do not wake it up if the screen is asleep, just pull out the battery without delay.
For phones with Non-removable battery
Not every phone allows its user to pull out its battery. If your phone is designed with a non-removable battery then go ahead and power your phone off like you normally would. But power it off right away and without delay.

Hello everyone, today am going to show how to make your phone charge faster. sometimes you wonder why your phone charges slowly,there are two reasons for that,it could be from the charger or from the phone.


The two factors that responsible for making you phone charge slower.


1.OUTPUT specifications:most manufacturers usually embed the output specifications in your

chargers.

Read very carefully:if you look at the two diagrams below, you would notice that the second diagram has more voltage and current than the first one.


Get the concept: the output of the 2nd diagram shows an output of 5.3V and 2A(2000mA). An adapter with that rating will provide 4 times the amount of power than that with output of 5.1V and 750mA.this will almost charge your device faster.


All am trying to say is that the higher the voltage, the higher the ampere and the more the current it provides to charge your phone faster.


For USB cord: you will find out that when you plug your USB cord to your system,it charges your phone very slowly, such that its battery life has barely moved an inch.


Why is it so? When it comes to USB connectors, the standard for every USB is fixed at 5 volts in a way that we can plug in any 2 holes of same size, which provides a current of 500mA. This is enough to make the device detectable by the system but not enough to charge it faster. hence the slow charge that results from USB connections to systems.


2. what the device is doing at the time matters


While the charger you use can definitely make a difference as to how quickly your device,charges,so will what that device is doing at the time.


Most smartphones, for example are nothing more than small computers.they use more power when they are working hard than they do when they are idle.

What does this mean? Watching videos,playing a game,running a WiFi hot spot on your device while charging your device,in this situation your charger might not be able to keep up,hence charging your phone at a very much slower rate.

I have experienced this when I was charging my phone and running my WiFi hot spot at the same time, my phone took several hours instead of 2 or 3 hours top to reach 100%




BEST PRACTICES



1.always buy a charger with a higher ampere and voltage.


2.try to make sure that your device is as idle as possible.

then i am the mother of teresa,because teresa is my daughter and her teresa's daughter is my grand daughter which is my daughter's mother.

John Lewandowski, a PhD student in mechanical engineering at MIT has developed a mechanical device that can diagnose malaria in five seconds , said diagnosing it quickly is critical.


"Early detection is very important, typically in the first five to seven days before symptoms arise, so that treatment can begin," said Lewandowski, 26.


He's designed a mechanical device called RAM (Rapid Assessment of Malaria) that is able to detect malaria in five seconds from a drop of blood.


There are two primary ways to diagnose malaria: You can test a drop of blood under a microscope to

identify the parasite, or you can do a diagnostic test on a blood drop sample, which returns a positive or negative result, similar to a home pregnancy test.


But many rural communities in Africa and Asia don't have the medical infrastructure for microscopic tests, and the diagnostic test can't detect malaria infection in the very early stages.



The RAM device.


Lewandowski developed his device to make diagnosing malaria quicker and cheaper.

The RAM is battery-operated, costs about $100 to $120, and is made from low-cost materials. The plastic box (measuring 4x4 inches) has a small circuit board, a few magnets and a laser on the inside. On the outside is an LCD screen, an SD card slot and a plastic disposable cuvette.


"It's pretty bare bones," said Lewandowski, who's the founder and CEO of Boston-based Disease Diagnostic Group, which is developing the device.


Malaria parasites in human blood create iron crystals that are magnetic in nature.

"As an engineer, I thought about creating a way to detect these magnetic crystals quickly," said Lewandowski.

just saw this on facebook and decided to share it. Be proud of your source of livelihood, as long as it is an honest means. Often, we get so fixated on what people think about our jobs and avenues from which we eke out a living. Truth is that nobody really cares. Linda Ikeji peddles gossips and rumour and that's how she feeds. Lai Mohammed lies for Africa and makes his living from there. You are doing tomatoes business, John is a driver, I am a teacher and that is how we all put food on our tables.
The banker, the Teacher, the doctor, the lawyer, the bread-hawker, Iya Basira, Mai Suya, the President, the truck-pusher, the cleaner, the security man, the waitress, the sales boy, the blogger, the OAP, the actor, the musician, the pastor, etc, they all have one thing in common.
One thing.
Money.
They are in it for money, because money pays for the satisfaction of our needs.
When it comes to providing your needs, your source of income is immaterial; except you are having a discussion on how to increase your earning.
If you don't do that work, who will give you money? You are to work and earn a living.
There are drivers who earn as much or even more than some bankers. So what's the fuss about putting on suits and sitting in an air-conditioned office? Is it Your air-conditioner?
Some people are so ashamed of their jobs that they can never proudly tell you what they do for a living.
You can't go through life in that manner.
As long as you can feed yourself, cloth yourself, provide a shelter and other necessities for yourself, your source of income is worth celebrating.
Be proud of what you do but don't be complacent.
Be progressive.
Seek for ways to become better at it or get something better.
There is always room for improvement. If you are a graduate, don't sit idly waiting for that dream job. Start where you are. Start with something. If its something that requires an SSCE cert, then use it. The sky won't fall down, rather you will be saving your own life.
Any friend or person that can't offer you something better, but mocks what you do, does not deserve your friendship. Cut them off. If someone thinks your job is demeaning, he/she should offer you a better job or shut up.
anybody that doesn't pay your bills doesn't have a say in your life.
This life is not where you run your personal affairs strictly on what people say.
It is your life, your word is final.
A lot of young people have gotten into mess trying to get rich quick just to impress people. In the end it became apparent that it wasn't really about their happiness and comfort but the desire to feel among; to please others.
I can't soil my hands in evil just to get rich and impress folks.
You are first going to be rich for you, before any other person. So, don't fight for wealth because you want to impress. Let no one put you under any form of pressure. If I feel you are entering under my skin, I just withdraw. I hate pressure.
I decide the pace of my life not you. If I don't own something today, it doesn't mean I won't own it ever. Hardwork, diligence and honesty are so important to me.
There is really no job called menial. I have never seen money with the inscription, "gotten-from-me
nial-jobs".
Money is money.
Quantity might differ but it is still money.
The only menial/demeaning job I know is begging. Strangely, some people have even dignified begging in such a way that there is something known as corporate begging.
Odiegwu indeed!
Nigerians would travel to other nations and be doing so-called menial jobs; come back here and start acting like Bosses. If you are proud of being a cleaner in Canada, why can't you be proud of it in Nigeria? Is it not the same money? Different currencies I know, but money is still money.
How people go into armed robbery,rituals, kidnapping and other illegal activities is when they have been convinced that their jobs isn't worth doing.
The only honourable job is that which requires honesty, diligence and hardwork.
Be proud of that job that puts food on your table. We all mustn't be doctors, lawyers, Engineers, Pilots, Professors, etc. Discover your own and own it.
Your job is more important than those who mock you, but can't do anything to better your life. Your job is a life saver, accord it the deserved respect.

Ever felt like you just subscribe today and the next day your subscription expires. well, here am going to show you some few tricks on how you can Conserve your data on Android and on PC especially if you are on metered internet connection by following these simple tasks.

Simple task on how to save data on Android Devices



1. Buy a data bundle because Pay-as-you-go rates are always more expensive.

2. Turn off/disable automatic updates in your Google Play Store settings to save data. Instead, manually update the apps you use frequently when they have updates.
To do this, Open your Playstore, then go to Settings, Under General tab, click on Auto-update apps.




3. Do not allow your social media apps to auto-download images, video or audio. Change the settings of android apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, BBM, etc to disallow automatic downloads of media.

On Whatsapp, go to Settings > Chats and calls > Media auto-download, then uncheck all media viz Images, Audio, Video “When Using Mobile Data” as well as “When Connected on Wi-Fi”.




4. Connect to WiFi ONLY whenever and wherever it is safe and possible to do so.
Always check your phone to see if your Wi-Fi is switched off when not in use. To do this, slide down the notification and check or Go to System settings and make sure that the Wi-Fi button is grey out.

In our secondary schools, we learnt that there are only 9 planets in the solar system but recently scientists have uncovered a new set of dwarf planets after the pluto.

A majority of this dwarf planets lie tucked away in the depths of our solar system.


A handful have been identified in the last decade thanks to new technology, but many remain a

mystery, undiscovered by astronomers.

However, scientists believe they have stumbled upon the largest unnamed world in our solar system after analyzing data from two space observatories, according to a new report by NASA.


The world, 2007 OR10, is much larger than astronomers previously thought, making it the third largest dwarf planet on a list of half a dozen worlds. Scientists believe there may be thousands of worlds like this in our solar system.


Many dwarf planets are hard to detect because they look like tiny points of light. It is hard to tell if that light is coming from a small world or a large world. That was one of the challenges of finding 2007 OR10. Although its elliptical orbit brings it as close to our sun as Neptune, the eighth planet in our solar system, 2007 OR10 is twice as far away as Pluto.


Using Kepler, NASA's planet-hunting space telescope, and archival data from European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory mission, astronomers were able to revise the size of 2007 OR10.


The world has a diameter of 955 miles, making it about one-third Pluto's size.


"Our revised larger size for 2007 OR10 makes it increasingly likely the planet is covered in volatile ices of methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen, which would be easily lost to space by a smaller object," said András Pál at Konkoly Observatory in Budapest, Hungary, who led the research. "It's thrilling to tease out details like this about a distant, new world -- especially since it has such an exceptionally dark and reddish surface for its size."


One observation scientists have made is that 2007 OR10 is a very dark world, which could give us clues about the early history of our solar system


"We think this object is left over from when our sun and solar system first formed," NASA scientist Geert Barentsen said. "It's almost as

A South African bank became a victim of a bank heist 10,000 miles away, after a group of criminals stole $13 million out of cash machines on another continent using fake South African credit cards.


The thieves used around 1,600 forged cards to withdraw the money from 1,400 individual cash machines across Japan, according to local media, including the Kyodo agency.

The cards were allegedly created using data stolen from the South African Standard Bank Group which has no apparent connection with Japan.


It took the group just over two hours to steal the money from the Standard Bank, withdrawing the maximum amount of 100,000 yen ($913) in 14,000 individual transactions, the media reported.


The bank estimated its total loss at 300 million South African rand ($20 million), and called the heist a "sophisticated, coordinated fraud incident."


The thieves used a network of ATMs run by Seven Bank across Japan. The Japanese bank confirmed an incident took place, saying it is working with the police.


The Seven Bank said it didn't suffer financial loss as a result of the incident, and reassured its customers and investors their money is safe.


Seven Bank is one of only two banks in Japan that accept foreign-issued credit and debit cards, according to Japan National Tourist Organization.

The bank is owned by Seven & I Holdings Co., the parent company of 7-Eleven. It operates 21,000 ATMs that are located within the 7-Eleven stores across Japan.

The fear of being hit with a miserable incident that could change your financial condition, like losing your job, impoverishment, or a sudden medical emergency, can be a nightmare for anyone. Such miserable events require you to make major changes in your life and the revitalization period is incredibly stressful. Often, it is the result of a lot of trifling constant worries building up to one huge breaking point, and then all of a sudden everything rushes through, constructing a tidal wave of anxiety and fear and stress.


However, your financial crisis can be remedied by regaining your self-control and taking solid

actions. The financial benefits of dealing with financial crisis—saving more, paying down debt—will improve not just your self-confidence, but your overall mood as well. The less you worry about dealing with finances issues, the more you can enjoy life.


You may consider your circumstances as unique, but many people around the world have walked this path before you. The road to financial revival is shabby but the steps to return after the financial disaster are well-proven.


So let’s get started with some useful tips that will help you to get motivated to take control of your finances:


1. Identify the Problems

The first step to overcoming financial crisis is to identify the primary problem that is causing difficulties. Financial problems are generally an indication of a larger issue and to come up with long run solutions, you have to identify the actual cause of your financial troubles. The idea behind the importance of uncovering a specific problem is to come up with a permanent solution. Just like a leaky tap in your house; placing a bucket below it is a temporary solution. Fix the tap and the leak will stop permanently. Rather than dwelling on your stress, focus on resolving the problem that’s causing your financial problems.


2. Create a Budget

One of the best ways to deal with financial problems is creating a budget plan. A budget is a weekly, monthly or a yearly spending plan for your money that guides your spending decisions on important stuff for you. As you create a budget, it’s important to track your expenses for at least a couple of weeks (a month is best) to objectively see where and how much you are spending.

Once you are able to get realistic numbers from your budget, you can review your budget critically and seek out areas where you can save. Things like spending less on eating outside, spending less on entertainment or hobbies, taking lunch from home to work rather buying it are things that don’t make you miserly or restrict your budget. They just allow you to go after bigger things with less stress, like paying off your mortgage.


3. Set Financial Priorities

Determining your financial priorities is essential to overcome any financial crisis. These priorities help you to make tough financial decisions such as paying off your credit card bill, paying your mortgage or saving up for house repairs for your family; setting priorities will help you solve your money troubles and get back on track. Your financial priorities should include looking into new ways to have money coming in too, like a second job, downsizing your home, or even using assets you have like a mortgage to leverage financial flexibility for yourself.


4. Address the Problem

For most people, financial problems can be addressed by reducing expenses and increasing income, or a little combination of both, but it might be not be the ideal option for everyone. For humans, changing lifestyle is the most difficult task, but given the money crisis situation, we are forced to make changes.


So to deal with it, take small steps to accomplish your goals because big changes are always much harder. For instance; if you’re running $50 short every month, then perhaps you should first pay off a small credit card debt that requires a $50 minimum payment each month. By taking small steps get the card paid off, and then permanently have $50 extra to use in your budget every month or use it for the payment of another debt, and get all of your debts paid off more quickly.


This methodology is called the “snowball effect”; putting all extra money towards one debt to pay it off faster and then use the extra amount towards eliminating the next debt. It is very useful method for paying debts off faster.


5. Develop a Plan and Track Progress

Once you have ideas to tackle your financial difficulties, come up with a realistic plan to accomplish your financial goals with a timeline of weeks, months or years and track your progress continuously. For example, if your goal is to pay off a $2,000 debt, make a plan and create a timeline with the amount of money you will pay every month so that you can pay it off within your desired time frame. Once you are on the road to achieve it, take a few minutes to review the progress. Evaluate and assess your plan, see if you are making progress toward your goals and be open to the possibility of fine-tuning the plan.

Unforeseen financial challenges are like uninvited guests and can strike at the most unfortunate times

The type of mindset people have really determine who they really are.people who have a socialist mindset tend to be social wherever they are, people who have a greedy mindset tend to exhibit greedy attitudes.


furthermore, if you really want to be successful in life, you need to be with people of equal mindset like you.if you have friends that are contributing nothing into your life or do not have the same

mindset like you,do you know that you have the right to kick them out of your life?, not really in a harsh way.you can kick them out by withdrawing yourself away from them without them knowing or you simply talk to them that you don't want to hang around with them.


well,let's go through the article for the day,here you will see the different types of mindset people have.but first let's look at the dictionary definition of mindset


According to dictionary.com, the definition of mindset is this;


“A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.”


From this definition, it’s clear that the type of mindset we adopt in life, can easily determine how much success, happiness and wealth we achieve.



How many different types of mindsets are there?

The number of potential mindsets that exist really depends on how much you generalize the word “mindset”. There closer you look into it, the more differentiation’s you could class as an individual mindset.

However, most people fit into a small number of mindsets, most of which will be listed in this article.


Different Types of Mindsets People Have

The different types of mindsets which have been listed in this article are those that the majority of the world’s population will fall into. Many of us will fall into more than one of these mindsets; which can either be a really food thing, or a really detrimental thing.


1. The Social Mindset



People who have the social mindset love to hang around with people, make new friends and just explore new cultures and ways of life.

People who are social thrive of spending time with their friends. They also get a kick out of talking to strangers, and being able to enjoy conversation with them.

The advantages of having the social mindset:

You find it easier to make new friends
You possess great communication skills.
You’re able to be comfortable easily in the majority of social situations

The disadvantages of having the social mindset:

You may rely on talking with others for happiness
You might be too concerned with how others feel about you

Do you have the social mindset?


2. The Growth Mindset

The growth mindset is a wonderful and amazing mindset. People who have the desire and drive to grow are always improving themselves. They love challenging themselves and constantly being better than they were yesterday.

It’s fairly easy to tell when someone has the growth mindset.

They like to make going to the gym a regular activity. They like to always being building their knowledge of themselves and the universe. They often become entrepreneurs seeking to help others grow, and they have an outlook that a situation can always be bettered.

The advantages of having the growth mindset:

You’re going to be improving different areas of your life at a fast pace
It’s going to be a lot easier for you to put in the work needed to succeed

The disadvantages of having the growth mindset:


You might be so set on growing, that you forget to actually enjoy living

Do you have the growth mindset?


3. The Fear Mindset

There’s a little bit of the fear mindset within all of us. However, those that let the fear mindset become their major way of thinking, become stuck.

People who let fear get the best of them are unable to use their time to the best of their ability. All those thrilling experiences, places travelled, achievements and such never happen.

They never happen because of the fear of what could go wrong, and that leads to a very minimal and quite frankly, dull life.

The advantages of having the fear mindset:

There are no real advantages

The disadvantages of having the fear mindset:

You can never achieve your dreams by being afraid
You will live inside a shell, afraid to try new things
It will become difficult to find your passion or purpose

Do you have the fear mindset?


4. The Lazy Mindset

Being lazy is a pretty poor mindset to have, and it’s also a mindset that many more people are adopting upon themselves this day in age.

Why?

We’ve made them lazy. Through fast food and advanced technology such as the likes of TV and social media. Not to mention a number of other factors.

So we have no discipline and no desire to get off our asses and do something productive.

The advantages of the lazy mindset:

It’s easy to achieve happiness in the short term

The disadvantages of the lazy mindset:

You’re unlikely to possess the discipline to achieve big things
Your health is at risk.
Your time is often being wasted

Do you have the lazy mindset?


5. The Envy Mindset

Someone who’s envious is often jealous of other people who’re perhaps doing better than them. Maybe they’re jealous because of someone’s success,healthy relationship, job, wealth, body, looks…

You name it.

While it’s not the best mindset to have because rather than focusing your energy on developing yourself, you channel it to envying others and

A pimple is like a little bag under the skin that contains oil, bacteria and inflammation. Squeezing it can result in these contents being pushed into surrounding skin, making the problem worse. It can also lead to infection and temporary darkening of the skin in that area.


On top of this, the inflammation can become so bad that scarring is left behind when the pimple finally settles down. And scarring (unlike the pimple) can be permanent.



If you resist the urge to squeeze, pimples will usually resolve over a week or so without scarring. The “white” contents will also settle down or spontaneously pop when ready.


If large pimples require urgent treatment, a dermatologist can get rid of the contents of a pimple safely. They may also give it an injection that decreases inflammation and the pimple in a day or so.

If pimples are something you battle with even on a monthly basis

1. The Golden Rule: Calories In vs. Calories Out

This simple fact simply cannot be overruled – to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume.

Use tools to help track and measure your daily intake then slowly taper down. Start with 500kcal steps or lower until you observe a consistent weekly loss.

Never go dangerously low, eating much below 1200-1600 can stall your progress and harm your health!
2. Set Attainable Goals And Track Your Progress

Achieving each goal will help spur you on, so be realistic and start small. Here is an example of an easily achievable goal progression:

–

Lose weight each week

– Lose 1-3 pounds per week

– Lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks

– Fit into size 30 jeans!
3. Consider Skipping Breakfast

Breakfast is commonly considered the most important meal of the day, however, it is not so when it comes to weight loss.

Intermittent fasting can be a useful fat-loss tool. Restrict yourself to a smaller eating window by skipping breakfast and only eating from 12-8pm. You will reduce your daily calorie intake without restricting your lunch and dinner!
4. Drink More Water (Especially Before Meals)

Drinking water an hour before eating has two proven benefits for weight loss:

24-30% boost in metabolism for 1-1.5 hours after intake
Increased chance of consuming less calories which further supports weight loss

5. Make Coffee Your New Best Friend

Coffee has received a bad reputation in the past, however, it should be known that quality coffee is rich in antioxidants and beneficial to weight loss.

The caffeine content will boost your body’s metabolism by up to 10%, leading to

1. They don’t work in their comfort zone.

What is your comfort zone? Your comfort zone is defined as "A psychological state in which a person feels familiar, at ease, in control, and experiences low anxiety.” When you get outside of your comfort zone, it doesn’t mean that you should strive for a constant state of anxiety and stress. It

simply means that, in order to grow, you should try new things and expand your horizons.

The reason we are comfortable in our comfort zone is because we are not taking risks when we are in this state. When we live in our comfort zones, we are living life like hamsters on a wheel, going around and around in a constant cycle, but going nowhere in our lives.

Famous motivational speaker, Les Brown, said it best with, “If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.”
2. They don’t do without first learning.

Learning is what we do best. The greatest thing about learning is the benefit that we receive in all aspects of our lives. Successful people strive to continue learning new things and expanding on things that they already know.

If we stop learning, then the only thing we can do is settle with what we already know; if we settle for that, then there is no way to expand our minds. Expansion is essential on the path to success. Since our minds require learning for expansion, we must never stop seeking new knowledge.

Imagine what would have happened if Bill Gates stopped learning and growing. The internet would be much more primitive than it is today. But because he followed his dreams and continued growing, he founded one of the biggest companies in the world and it is still flourishing and growing today.
3. They don’t fear asking for advice.

Richard Branson, a famous entrepreneur, stated, “When you need to make hard decisions, being able to discuss your ideas with entrepreneurs and business leaders who have solved similar problems can make all the difference.”

Asking for advice is not always easy. We think that we have the same opportunity as everyone else and sometimes feel insecure and dependent, so we decide not to ask for advice, and try to figure it out ourselves. But this could be greatly limiting us from reaching our full potential, because the advice we might be seeking could be something that somebody knows very well.
4. They don’t get lost in the small details.

When life gives us seemingly endless opportunities, it is very easy to get lost in the small details. The small details are very easy for us to become focused on, thus causing us to miss out on the overall vision, also known as the “big picture”.

Focusing too much on the smaller details constricts your ability to see how everything ties together. Much of our lives hinge upon the connections that we make with others and with ourselves. If we get lost in the small detail, it is like having missing pieces to a puzzle. How are we supposed to solve that?

Imagine what would have happened if Henry Ford only saw the small details. When building the company that Ford is today, he knew that he must do something different if his company was to succeed. After many people told him it couldn’t be done, his company continued improving upon the smaller details until they got it right.

Henry Ford didn’t focus too much on the small details, which were the hundreds of times he failed; he saw the overall goal and knew that it could be accomplished. It required seeing the bigger picture to make it happen.

He speaks like somebody who has guts. To him, no argument can dent the rightness of his position on the Presidency of Muhammadu Buhari. Yet, he tells you he is not confrontational. He claims he has prioritized governance with a view to putting the welfare of the people first. Perhaps, this is the reason he was re-elected after staying out of power for eight years. In this interview in Abuja, Mr. Ayo Fayose, Ekiti State governor, says Buhari is not technically equipped to better the lot of Nigerians. He also speaks on the retreat by the National Economic Council (NEC). Excerpts: On the National Economic Council, NEC, retreat in Abuja It is a good idea if we do not have the same rhetorics. We all know where the problem is, where the problem is coming from. The reality is that we need a change of attitude. That’s what we need. No matter what you say, the ministers, the governors, some are two-term governors, some are leaders of this country before, like Chief Audu Ogbeh, they know where the problem lies and what they need to do to tackle it. The attitude of everybody must change; from the President to the last man in government and beyond government. If you want to dispense justice, for instance, you must dispense it equally. If you want to fight corruption, you must fight it equitably. If we are talking about restructuring our economy, the economy is not all about itself. There are other parameters. If you oppress me, I will not be favourably disposed to the programmes you are offering me. But the moment the president of the country becomes everybody’s father, his agenda and the agenda for the nation will be pushed by all parties and stakeholders. So we have had a lot of these things. We have been through such a gathering (economic retreat) but, at the end of the day, will it not be the same old rhetorics, same strategies? Is it not a diversionary move to make Nigerians think you are working on the economy? Meanwhile, this is a government that was elected almost one year ago, but which doesn’t know what it is doing, doesn’t know what it wants, doesn’t know why it got there; maybe it wanted power but not to put Nigeria on the path of prosperity. So, it is a good idea that we should talk about the economy of the country, but I think the driver should know the direction more than the passengers. But he doesn’t know; he is just fishing. He is fishing for ideas on how to run Nigeria.

With due respect, people may not like the way I am saying it right now, but they have to come to terms with reality. You can’t grow more than your pastor. You can’t grow more than your MD under the same roof. He is limited by old age. He is limited by academic competence and he is limited by exposure. If you can’t grow more than your pastor, what do you offer? Meanwhile, everybody has to look up to the President. So with his APC family, they ought to have had an economic team, economic master plan for Nigeria. They would have set the direction. There are indicators of an economy. Indicators of an economy will tell you what will happen next year; will tell you that next year, there will be drop in rain for farming and that we must build irrigation. It will tell you, there are going to be issues that could make the economy get gloomy. That is why we have technology.

That is why we have advanced information. That is why you have specialists. The President is the President. He is not the Minister for Finance. He is not the technical adviser. I was reading in the papers where someone said that the ministers of the President are incompetent or something like that, but I am not condemning them. I am only saying that the President himself had two months before being sworn-in. Since he came, the dollar has risen from 200 naira to almost 400 Naira. I don’t blame him for the drop in oil price, but the fact is that I blame him for not being proactive to finding solution to those challenges. Second, we should ask the President why Nigerians are suffering under him more than ever before. Look at electricity tariff. In most cases, people will never get supply of electricity; they get it maybe once a month. Yet, they get what we call estimated bills. The people are so disenchanted. The people are not happy. There was this international body that said findings showed that Nigerians are unhappy more than ever before. Something must be causing all that. If you look at that last six elections across the federation, APC has not won and it shows people are saying, ‘Have we not missed the road?’ The fact remains that when a disease catches up with you, you will not know until it is about terminating your life. If you look at the violence greeting our elections now, it will amaze you, it will give you concern. Even the worst of (former President|) Jonathan, abuse him, say what you want, but he promised there will be free and fair elections and he delivered, even against himself. If this was the kind of violence that greeted Buhari’s election, would he ever be President? No! Nigerians don’t know party, they know their stomach. They know their business. They know their economy. Let’s look back and imagine that so many middle class businesses are gone.

Look at me with a daughter abroad and somebody says my daughter can’t get maintenance money in dollars anymore. The education of my children has come to a halt after building such a child to year three in the university. This is an indicator of incompetence, a clueless administration. Sometimes, APC people might have clues but the President doesn’t have. He has no clue. You see these things, people are afraid to say it. You have been very critical of this administration and the President. Do you have any personal…? Everything I have said is backed with facts and figures. It is not about being critical of this administration. I didn’t start today. I started before the 2015 elections. I told Nigerians not to vote for him (Buhari). I was a young man of 24, 25 years when Buhari was the Head of State of this country. The Yoruba man will say, ‘If you have taken a medicine that works for you, please give me’. We took a medicine which kills. Anybody that is 40 years old today that voted for

Buhari doesn’t know Buhari because, from 1984 to date, it will be 32 years. So, a guy of eight years won’t say he knows Buhari clearly. So, add that eight years to 32 years, that is 40 years, they voted for a man they never knew. So, if you remove people from the age bracket of 18 – 40 and remove the votes from Buhari’s votes, you will know that he couldn’t have won the election. I am not critical of anybody. When APC is talking about me, they say whatever they want to say but I defeated them in all elections even when they call it militarization, even when they say Fayose is controversial; in every battle I will win them. Even when you have over taken, like after my impeachment, by His grace, they were over taken again and lambasted by the Supreme Court. There is a difference between vendetta and the reality on the ground. If I am incompetent, Ekiti people will not vote for me eight years after. Let’s look at PDP politics. A few days ago, the Chairman of the PDP said you were one of those responsible for his appointment. Are you happy with what you are seeing weeks after? I didn’t work for Sheriff like that. I worked for the truth. I worked for someone I believe has what it takes to lead our party. Party politics is not book politics. Party politics is being realistic. Life in itself is about being realistic. Sheriff and myself were not close friends and we were not enemies either. We didn’t see often. We were not in and out with each other. We have never been in the same political party, but everybody that came, we engaged them one after the other. Because of the presentation of Aliyu Amodu Sheriff, I supported him. That is the truth. There was a particular question they asked him; ‘if


the party needs N5 million before the governors can be reached, would you still be able to support it? If there is a meeting in Lagos or somewhere else and there is no commercial flight and you have to get there, would you have to call the governors saying, please, borrow me your aircraft or send me some money to get one’. Second, they asked him, ‘This issue of Boko Haram you are being linked with, don’t you think it is going to be against your person in the public domain’ and he said, how, ‘How can a man be linked to Boko Haram and still be walking around, never charged to any court in Nigeria? And, above all in a way, I am an in-law to Mr. President. He is fighting Boko Haram now. Will he ask himself to marry a Boko Haram person or a relative to Boko Haram?’ These are logical things and I was convinced in my heart and I said, ‘ I will stand by you’ and my yes is my yes and my no is no. If I am with you I am with you and if I have issues against you, I will go there and tell you to your face.

And the gentleman has just been there for a few weeks; so what would anybody have done in a party in this period? We have to be realistic. He needs time and, even in his three months, he can only do very little, but it is better than a man who has no clue at all. But why were people against him when he was nominated? Why were people against me when I wanted to be governor of Ekiti State? Because they knew I will defeat them. When you see the lion, you run. Why are people against the lion? Why don’t they keep lions in their houses? Because the lion is the king. They know what you represent. They know who you are. Remember when I wanted to do my primary, there was this consensus idea. About 26 aspirants said they wanted consensus, ‘take one of us’ and I said ‘I want to face all of you’. The Bible says the righteous are as bold as a lion. The whole of the kingdom at that time and all the chiefs of the clans were against Daniel. Does it mean Daniel was wrong? The plotting against Jesus Christ, does it mean Jesus Christ was wrong? That is not a measure of people being against you. When people are against me, I get things done better. It makes things easy for me. It showcases me and makes the whole world know Fayose is there. Our style can’t be the same. On party chairmanship and presidential candidate slot I don’t know the people that came. Senator Buruji Kashamu can never, in his own capacity, make that statement for the Yoruba people. He is a friend? I love him so much but the fact remains that I take exception to that statement.


First, the zoning committee is yet to be constituted. Let me round it up by saying it his opinion and, even if you don’t like it to come to the South-West, there is no good Yoruba leader that know the best of things will be coming to your zone and you say you don’t want. Kashamu is my friend, but I take exception to that statement and I have told him in person and he said he was going to do a rejoinder. So his opinion is his opinion. It doesn’t outweigh the opinion of the majority. I am in Ekiti, you can’t decide for me. In Ondo, you can’t decide for Mimiko. Other leaders are in their various states, you can’t decide for them. The party will do the zoning. When the party comes up with the zoning, a decision will be taken. On the speculation that the Chairman wants to elongate his tenure I don’t know what you mean by elongation. There are constitutional provisions that say your tenure starts from this period to that period, and there is a body that ratifies that which is the NEC and you can’t act outside the NEC provisions. But I don’t want to be misquoted. As at today, except there is a zoning, nobody can say you can’t contest an election. As at today and until an agreeable zoning formula has been reached, you can’t come out and say someone can’t contest. I don’t want to be misquoted. Quote it the way I have said it. What Buruji said and I take exception and I am glad he said it is his opinion? One, there is nobody that anything good will be coming to his zone, if truly he is a leader from that zone, that will be opposed to such a thing. So far, we haven’t zoned it and if we haven’t zoned, the constitution doesn’t bar people from contesting that office. If anybody wants to contest, he can contest, but when the party now meets, takes a position, ratified by NEC, it becomes a law that we all have to obey. What chances does PDP have in 2019? What chances do you have to live till tomorrow? A lot of people blabbing today, who told them they will be alive at that time? Who is telling our oppressors that they will be there by tomorrow; that it won’t be me that will be there by that time? You understand, we have seen so many things in this country. I am the longest serving Nigerian governor. I served in Obasanjo’s administration. I served in Jonathan’s and

I am serving in Buhari’s administration now. You see, I am not a small boy that anyone toys around with. You want to try me with impeachment, they have done it before. You want to try me with state of emergency, they have done it before. You want to clamp someone in prison, they have done it before. I am an experienced man. I am fearless. The reason is that greater is He that is in me than he that is in them. And let me remind you, if they have another person that they will join with Buhari to get more forces, they will bow to this Force here. I am telling you the truth. Power doesn’t come from anywhere. God rules in the affairs of men. Oppressing, bringing and cutting people down, dropping people, taking their blood on the ground, God is angry. God isn’t happy. How can you be cutting people down? You go to Rivers and kill people, you go to Akwa Ibom and kill people, you go to Bayelsa, you kill people, incarcerate innocent people. God is angry with Buhari. You can’t continue to take the blood of the innocent. Look at my predictions for 2016 for Nigeria, everything has come to pass. This is a different ball game. He that will take me, he that will go against me must first of all defeat God.

If you've been avoiding avocados out of a fear of fat, it’s time to update your diet! Avocados are not only packed with nutrients, but they fit into virtually any diet you might follow. avocados are beneficial in many ways, here are some of the reasons why you should take avocado;

Benefit: Monounsaturated Fats
Avocados’ creamy texture (and rich flavor) comes from their star nutrient: monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fats, also called MUFAs, are the most heart-healthy because they’re the only type of fat that not only lower your “bad” cholesterol levels, but also increase your “good” cholesterol.
MUFAs also help you power through your day, since they’re a great source of energy, and healthy fats moisturize your skin from the inside out (hello, natural glow!). Fats also help you absorb other nutrients from your food, so if you serve, say, a spinach salad with a few chunks of avo on top, you’ll absorb more of the spinach’s nutrients.
Benefit: Fiber

Adding avocado to your diet also boosts your fiber intake. If you’re trying to slim down or maintain your weight more easily, avocados’ fiber content makes them your new best friend. Fiber doesn’t actually contain any calories but it does help you feel full, so you won’t feel famished after eating high-fiber foods like avocado. In fact, adding high-fiber fare like avocado to your diet is an almost-effortless way to shed some serious weight, a recent study found. Fiber also keeps you regular, which keeps your digestive tract healthy, and it’s also great for heart health.

Benefit: An All-Natural Multivitamin
Adding avocado to your diet is an easy way to boost your vitamin and mineral intake. Avos are especially high in vitamin K -- essential for bone health and healing after an injury -- along with B-complex vitamins that boost your metabolism and support healthy blood flow. You’ll also get lots of vitamin C, which will give you smooth skin, healthy bones and a strong immune system (so you’re totally ready for cold season).
Avocados are also a great source of plant-based iron, which boosts oxygen flow to keep your energy levels up and your skin bright and radiant. And the generous potassium in avocados keeps your muscles and nerves healthy -- and, bonus, it promotes good heart health to protect against cardiovascular disease.

Benefit: Anti-Aging Antioxidants
OK, so avocados aren't quite the fountain of youth -- but they're still packed with tons of anti-aging nutrients, called antioxidants. Part of the aging process -- including the visible aging you notice in your skin and hair -- develops because of cellular damage caused by toxins, called free radicals. These free radicals cause microscopic changes in your DNA that prevent your tissues from turning over properly, so you start to notice wrinkles, sallow, saggy skin and dull or brittle hair.
Antioxidants naturally counteract pro-aging free radicals, so they keep your cells working like they’re supposed to. By offering a range of antioxidants, from vitamin C to phenolic compounds, avocados keep your cells healthy -- and keep you looking your best.

Symptoms

Most people infected with Zika virus won’t even know they have the disease because they won’t have symptoms. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week.
See your healthcare provider if you are pregnant and develop a fever, rash, joint pain, or red eyes within 2 weeks after traveling to a place where Zika has been reported. Be sure to tell your health care provider where you traveled.
The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected.
Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for about a week but it can be found longer in some people.
Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections.

Diagnosis

The symptoms of Zika are similar to those of dengue and chikungunya, diseases spread through the same mosquitoes that transmit Zika.
See your healthcare provider if you develop the symptoms described above and have visited an area where Zika is found.
If you have recently traveled, tell your healthcare provider when and where you traveled.
Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to look for Zika or other similar viruses like dengue or chikungunya.

Treatment

There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat Zika infections.
Treat the symptoms:
Get plenty of rest.
Drink fluids to prevent dehydration.
Take medicine such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or paracetamol to relieve fever and pain.
Do not take aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
If you are taking medicine for another medical condition, talk to your healthcare provider before taking additional medication.
If you have Zika, prevent mosquito bites for the first week of your illness.
During the first week of infection, Zika virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to a mosquito through mosquito bites.
An infected mosquito can then spread the virus to other people.
