Don't stress yourself O.P.
Just add the word "magic" in the url and start ur download with any browser of ur choice.
i.e btw you and tube (youmagictube).
example:
https://m.youmagictube.com/watch?v=SfazJ6P_g7w

This floats my boat better than a download app.

CultureIs It Rude To Greet Our Elders In English, Instead Of Our Native Tongue? by Davinex(op): 12:16pm On Feb 12, 2016
Is it rude to greet our elders in english, instead of our native tongue?
Should we establish a standard for greeting elders, instead of saying "Good morning sir/ma" should we greet them in our native tongue like;
" E kaaro o"
" Ụtụtụ ọma"
" Barka da safe"
" Aje & Otofe"
" mingwo" etc
I've observed that even when we greet in our native tongue, we do tend to add the english word sir/ma to it. Is it still rude to greet them without adding the english word sir or ma? I've been wondering if it is proper and polite to greet our elders in english or native tongue. From my observation so far, If an elder knows you are of the same native and you greeted him/her in english. I think they find it rude and disrespectful of you.
I need your views on this issue my fellow country men and women. Thanks!

HealthReasons Why You Should Not Shower Everyday - Science Suggests. by Davinex(op):
Endtime findings...
When people say they don’t shower every day, we usually find that weird. However, is showering every day necessary? It turns out that showering on a daily basis isn’t the healthy habit we thought it was.
Do we need to shower every day?
Dr. Casey Carlos, assistant professor of medicine in the division of dermatology at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine suggests that showering too much isn’t good for you. Carlos explains that it’s quite difficult to get people to use soap only when they need to do so.
Skin care science is simple; soaps remove oils from the skin. In turn, your skin becomes dry and gets a rough texture. Carlos also suggests people should use soap only in particular places such as the groin, armpits, and feet. Furthermore, you should skip using soap on chest, back, legs, and arms. Why? It’s because our skin has the amazing ability to clean itself.
Scientific explanation
Most health and lifestyle outlets today don’t rely too much on scientific explanations that support their claims. Luckily, below you can see why frequent showers aren’t such a great habit:
The top layer of your skin is composed of dead skin cells that protect underlying skin layers
The top layer is held together by fats or lipids that are responsible for moisture
Whenever you shower and scrub, you’re breaking this layer apart
The more showers you take, the more damage occurs in top layer
Due to frequent showers, your skin has less time to repair and recover through natural oil production
It prevents “good” bacteria from growing on your skin. This good bacteria is beneficial for protecting your skin and your body from infections
It’s bad for your hair too. Negative consequences include dry, dull hair that is prone to dandruff. In some cases, hair can become greasy as scalp tries to overcompensate for dryness.
How to look great even when you don’t shower every day
We are used to the idea of showering every day, and we sometimes don’t even notice it’s not good for us.
However, it’s possible not to shower on the daily basis and still look amazing. Below, you can see some style
and beauty tips that you’ll find beneficial:
Remove makeup before bedtime – this will prevent clogged pores, and you’ll wake up feeling fresh
Put on a new pair of underwear each morning
Take a wet washcloth and wipe groin region, armpits, etc.
Use skin brightening creams to restore healthy glow
Use a deodorant that doesn’t leave white streaks. Also, go for the product that doesn’t have a distinctive smell.
Wear clothes made of natural fabrics, particularly during summer. Polyester and sweat are never a great combination, even when you do shower every day.
Shave armpits regularly
Use dry shampoo – if you don’t have a dry shampoo, you can use baby powder. This way, your hair will look clean and smooth and smell great
Style your hair
Don’t overdo it with moisturizer
Use apple cider vinegar to naturally deodorize your armpits
Use panty liners.
Conclusion
Showering on a daily basis strips away the moisture from our skin. In turn, our skin becomes dry, rough and is more prone to irritations and redness. Excessive showering is comparable to excessive exfoliating.
Both practices have the same effect. Your skin can clean itself, and there are many things you can do to appear like you just got out of the shower.
What's your view?
EducationWords Of Wisdom by Davinex(op): 3:54pm On Dec 26, 2015
“Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things
are yours.” ~ Swedish proverb
You know who I really appreciate? Those people who aren’t uncomfortable with silence. Those people with whom
you can sit at a table and have a delicious meal and not feel uncomfortable when none of you has anything to
say. I love people who can communicate with one another not just with words but also with silence.
I remember going out for dinner one night with two of my closest friends but also with this other person whom
we just recently met. And while we were there, I noticed that this person couldn’t stop talking. I mean, she just
couldn’t. She kept going on and on and on and I honestly thought my head was going to explode because of all
the noise she was making. I just couldn’t believe that a human being could actually talk so much and breathe so
little.
I was amazed and irritated at the same time. She was talking so much and so loud but her words seemed so
empty of meaning. She wasn’t really saying anything. You know that quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What
you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” Well, that’s exactly how I felt. I could hear her speak
but I couldn’t really understand a word she was saying. Not because she was speaking a foreign language but
because she wasn’t really saying anything.
We do that. A lot of times we just talk and talk but without actually saying anything. Maybe it’s because we
want to feel that we’re heard and that people acknowledge our presence and existence. But is that really the
way to go about it? Wouldn’t it be wiser to talk less and say more while at the same time immersing ourselves in
those moments of silence and allowing them to just be?
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.” ~ Plato
It seems to me that a lot of times we talk just so we won’t keep quiet, thinking that silence is something to be
ashamed about, something to be avoided. But it’s not. There’s nothing wrong with silence. I don’t know how we
got this idea that silence is awkward and that it should be avoided at all costs.
“It has been said that it’s the space between the bars that holds the tiger. And it’s the silence between the
notes that makes the music. It is out of the silence, or “the gap,” or that space between our thoughts, that
everything is created-including our own bliss.” – Wayne Dyer
Silence is a precious gift. In that space between our words it’s where we find ourselves. When the mind is quiet,
when there are no thoughts and no words to be said, we can hear our own heart talking to us. We can hear our
own soul and our own intuition.
Herman Melville has a really beautiful quote that explains exactly what I mean: “God’s one and only voice is
Silence.”
When we allow ourselves to be quiet, to breathe in and breathe out, without the need to force ourselves into
saying another word or think another thought, that’s when we can hear our inner voice, our heart and intuition.
That’s when we can experience our own Divinity, our own beauty and perfection.
I have learned more from being quiet and from embracing silence than I have learned from thinking and from
talking. Silence is my greatest teacher, whispering things in my ear and helping me know things that I won’t be
able to discover from anywhere else.
“Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.” ~ Francis Bacon
It you ask me, and even if you don’t, I’ll still tell you, the reason why so many of us are under so much stress is
because we haven’t yet learned how to quiet our minds and embrace silence. We haven’t yet learned to
appreciate and see the value and the wisdom that comes from being quiet.
Who says that you have to be thinking and you have to be talking all the time? Who says that it’s not okay to
have moments when you just don’t have anything to say? Who says that you should be talking non stop even
when you don’t have anything valuable to say?
“He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.” – Ausonius
Learn to talk less, say more. When you use your words, use them because they will brighten someone’s day and
because they will teach people something valuable. Don’t just use words for the sake of using them. Use them
because you have something to say.
“Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut
up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.” ~ Saskya Pandita
Do you believe that we can only communicate by using words? Do you think silence is something to be avoided?
When you are alone with someone, if there are moments when none of you has anything to say does that silence
make you feel uncomfortable? I really want to know what are your thoughts on this. You can share your insights
by joining the conversation in the comment section below
P.S. I’m not against talking and using words to communicate with one another. I just think that we should just
learn to talk less and say more. That’s all.
With all my love.
