Quite A Funny One

Bad breath is not something most of us want to be worrying about. In a perfect world we would all have perfect breath all the time – with a hint of wintergreen, peppermint or perhaps fresh flowers. We do not live in a perfect world however, and just about everyone has to worry a bit about bad breath once in a while, even if it’s just the typical “morning breath.” There are things you can do to eliminate or reduce the possibility that you will be causing people’s eyes to water because of your less-than-delightful breath. Try these simple tricks to keep your breath fresh.

1. BRUSH AND FLOSS

Your first thought might be “Duh!” upon reading that, but remember that it says brush and floss. Brushing is something most of us probably do, but it’s easier for people to just blow off the flossing part. It’s a bit more complicated compared to brushing and might seem unnecessary, but it really helps because it removes food from between the teeth that tends to be an excellent place for odor-causing bacteria to gather and multiply.

2. CLEAN YOUR TONGUE

So who thinks about cleaning your tongue when you brush your teeth? Brushing is something we’ve all heard about endlessly but what about cleaning your tongue? It turns out that the tongue is another place that’s particularly attractive to bacteria which are expert at hanging around and causing unpleasant odors. It’s quite easy to simply brush your tongue while you are brushing your teeth, and if you want to get really serious about it, you can pick up a tongue cleaner in many of the same places that sell toothbrushes.

3. STAY HYDRATED

Staying hydrated is known to be important for your overall health, but not everyone knows that a dry mouth is a friendlier environment for those smelly bacteria. Saliva is nature’s way of keeping your mouth clean and it even has antibacterial properties. Since we are less likely to be aware of how dry our mouth gets when we are sleeping, we tend to awaken with a dry mouth frequently and the accompanying “morning breath” along with it.

4. CANDY, MINTS AND GUM

These can be great temporary solutions to a bad breath problem but they all wear off pretty quickly unless you keep shoveling a steady supply into your mouth. The problem with these solutions is that they simply mask the odor of bad breath and don’t do anything to actually stop it. In some cases, the sugar that is contained in these things will actually feed the bacteria in your mouth and make things worse. When you’re out and about, these things can help, but there is no substitute for a clean mouth.

5. FOOD

What you eat can have a tremendous effect on the freshness of your breath. While it’s not a surprise to anyone that things like garlic can cause bad breath, there are other foods to watch out for that might not be so obvious. Meats are a good example. They are famously good at getting stuck in between teeth and after a while the odor that is produced as they begin to break down is definitely not something you want coming from your mouth.

6. A QUICK RINSE

Believe it or not, taking just a few seconds to rinse your mouth with plain water after eating can help reduce bad breath. It not only helps flush out some of those food particles that can promote the growth of bacteria, it can also help get the pH levels in your mouth back to normal which helps keep bad breath at bay.

7. NATURAL SOLUTIONS

Sure, you can carry a little bottle of mouthwash around with you all day and freshen up your breath periodically but a lot of those store-bought solutions have chemical ingredients and other things that you may not want to be putting in your mouth all day. Green tea is an excellent alternative which you can keep with you to sip all throughout the day. Green tea contains natural antibiotics that help control the population of germs in your mouth. if you’re a hardcore natural food fan you can even chew on things like basil, cilantro, dill, mint, or parsley, which all contain chlorophyll, which fights bad breath.

8. SMOKING

Let’s face it, there really isn’t anything positive to say about smoking. In addition to the serious health problems it can cause, it can also worsen you breath. Smoking is actually a lot more complicated then just inhaling the smoke from tobacco leaves. There are numerous chemical compounds that are introduced into the body by smoking and they don’t exactly promote fresh breath. Smoking also tends to dry out the mouth which increases the chances for bad breath. Smokers are also more likely to have oral health problems like plaque build up and disease.

9. THE DENTIST

It’s well-known that some people have fear of seeing the dentist that borders on panic attack territory. Still, there’s no getting around the fact that good oral health and hygiene are the best defense against bad breath. There is no better place to ask questions and find answers to problems like bad breath than from your dentist.

As a leader, you probably juggle many things at work and at home. You’re not alone. Most executives I coach struggle with balancing parenting and work duties. They worry that they aren’t spending enough time with their children, and they’d like to help their children learn from their experience and avoid mistakes they’ve made.

What if you could maximize your time by making progress on work challenges while spending time with your children and helping them learn important skills in the process? Given my own challenges with balancing multiple priorities, I’ve learned a few ways to make the most of my time with both work and family, and I’ve shared these tips with my clients, many of whom have adopted similar practices. And the tips don’t take any additional time. In fact, you can increase time with your children without losing work time or adding more to your already full plate. By doing things a bit differently, you benefit your task list, your children, and yourself.

Here are four ways you can spend time with your kids while getting work done and teaching them important lessons along the way.

Practice time management together. 

One of your primary jobs as an executive is to anticipate the future and set a course to achieve success. This often takes concentrated time, away from the demands of back-to-back meetings. Many executives I coach take two hours a week to create white space. But unless you plan well in advance, it’s hard to find two hours of contiguous time each week.

Starting when he was eight years old, my older son would sit down with me once a quarter and help me block out white-space time for the next quarter. We would also block out time for vacations, shows, and volunteering. Because we carve out this time together, it helps me maintain a stronger boundary for family time. By helping me, my son appreciates the variety of my job responsibilities, not just what he sees from videos of my keynote talks. He’s also learned how to plan ahead to create balance and dedicate time to think strategically, and he’s picked up some other time management tricks. As a result, he creates time blocks on his calendar to ensure he has enough time for large projects that can’t be done in one sitting. It has reduced the amount of last-minute drama in our household.

Teach leadership ideas through reading.

Harry Truman once said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” I’m much better at reading lots of books than at remembering lots of information from those books. Therefore, as I read each book, I tag passages that I’d like to go back to later. My sons compile all the tagged sections into one document. They curate my notes because I pay them, but you can also involve your kids by creating a game or competition such as answering trivia questions from the books at the dinner table. After all, these aren’t books they’d willingly pick up. Not only does this save me time and help me retain what I’ve read, but it also teaches my children at an early age about leadership topics from expert authors. Yesterday our dinner table conversation included the benefits of having mirror neurons and showing empathy when we want to improve our influence skills. It was a direct outcome of the book one of my sons is currently working on.

Explore values through discussing real-life dilemmas. 

Last month I struggled with a situation at work in which, if I acted according to my values, I would risk losing a large percentage of my revenue. It would be easy to pretend with my children that everything was business as usual. However, it wasn’t easy on my sleep. As I struggled with what to do, my husband and I discussed the dilemma (while protecting confidential information) with our boys. We laid out the situation, which values it was violating, and the potential risks of upholding my values. It was a difficult choice, but I decided to act in favor of my values.

I’d forgotten about the event until my older son said to me the other day, “Mom, I want to have integrity in how I talk to my science fair partner.” Curious, I asked, “What does integrity mean to you?” and was surprised to hear him remind me, “Mom, you always say integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.” Having an open discussion about a work struggle benefited my son in a way I hadn’t anticipated.

Help children learn to frame problems in multiple ways. 

A common way that my coaching clients struggle is when they make assumptions about their adversary’s motivations during an interpersonal conflict and choose destructive actions based on that one conclusion. For example, Raymond, a tech executive, was recently convinced that his peer Jay wanted to discredit him and take over his team. Raymond jumped to this conclusion because Jay had interrupted during his presentation about his new project in front of the CEO. Rather than assume the worst of Jay, I told Raymond, he should lean into his natural tendency for storytelling and create not one but three separate stories about what Jay’s motivations could be. Raymond’s alternative stories were that perhaps Jay was very excited by Raymond’s idea and wanted to add his own ideas to it, or that Jay was less aware of interpersonal interactions and was someone who tended to interrupt others as well. This allowed Raymond to confront his assumptions and examine other possibilities.

You can share this tactic with your children as a game my family calls Multiple Meanings.

We take turns creating stories from observations of people and events on trips to and from school. For example, if we see a man walking rapidly on the sidewalk with tattooed arms and a sleeveless vest, we might make up a story that he’s late for work because his car broke down, so he’s walking fast to get help. Maybe he owns a tattoo parlor across the bridge and is a walking advertisement for his business. Or maybe he’s meeting someone in the park and is running late. Our children then use the skill when they’re upset about something at home or at school. This is especially helpful when my sons argue and come to me for mediation. To reduce the heat in the conflict, I ask: “What other meanings can you make about why your brother borrowed your Lego airplane?” The goal is to be able to calm themselves down and be more empathetic, so they approach someone else with curiosity instead of judgment.

We spend a lot of our waking hours working. We also invest a lot in educating our children on academic subjects, physical activities, and the arts. But we treat these two activities separately. By involving our children in our work activities, we can teach our children key skills from our own experience, while maintaining quality time both at work and at home.

Pics For Remaining 2 Shapes

Now I know what every one of you might be thinking, you cannot make a comment or get an idea about a person based on their body types. It is true, and I do agree with this thing. But over the years, there have been countless proofs that if you have a particular body shape, then there is a similar trait among the women with that same kind of body. It may be too difficult to digest this fact but listed below are 6 body shapes which tell you what kind of relationship women are looking for.

6. Pear Shaped

As it happens, if a woman has a body shape that is similar to that of a pear then she is more open minded. She will be open minded regarding almost all aspects of life. But that’s not all. If the woman has a pear shaped body then she is more likely to be open to one night stands. Since she approaches everything with an open mind, one night stands are not treated any differently nor it is looked down upon.

5. Apple Shaped

If a woman has an apple shaped body that means she is filled with endorphin. For those of who don’t know what endorphin is; it is a chemical inside our body that is known for uplifting the mood and causing happiness. So if a woman has an apple shaped body then she is always likely to stay happy. Furthermore, she tends to prefer monogamy. For her, only one part are enough and she is happy that way.

4. Banana Shaped

Women who have a body that looks like a banana are the skinny girls. They are always very picky about everything in life and will take a long time to assess things before choosing them. Similarly, they will also be picky about who they date and choose to sleep with. They will take a long time to consider and if the guy is impressive, only then she will accept him.

3. Strawberry Shaped

Strawberry shaped girls are somewhat everyone’s favorite kind of girls. These are the busty kind of woman. They are busty and are always proud of that. They don’t mind showing off their body but don’t let that fool you. She may enjoy everyone’s attention but when it comes to relationships, she has a set standard. Strawberry shaped women will only prefer to go into the relationship with people who are smart and quite intelligent.

2. Peanut Shaped

Probably the one shape that everyone actually longs for, peanut shaped girls have thin waists and are blessed with great proportions. They are usually the strong women who are not shy of confidence. They can walk on their own and don’t exactly need the approval of any men. But if they choose to be with somebody, they would prefer somebody of equal confidence and strength.

1. Diamond Shape

These are the women who are usually the introverts. They remain shy most of the time and tend to stay in the shadows. They think a lot before committing to somebody and it takes a great deal of effort to woo them over.

Seems you and the senator dont think properly.
If you want to use phone voting to cut out vote buying, then what makes you think that vote buyers wont communicate with me and make sure I vote their candidate then I get alart? Easy, no police to arrest or harass both the buyer and the seller.
Infact this nonsense idea will even make vote buying escalate.
.
Increase the standard of living of the populace and see vote buying fade away with time.

Good Idea.

However, It Has Its Downsides

1. Not All Adults Own Phones;

2. Some Who Own Phones Didn't Register Inserted SIMs In Their Names;

3. If This Is Implemented, Phone Theft Is Likely To Increase Couple Of Days To Election;

4. In Event Of Need To Recount Votes, How Will We Go About It;

5. Finally, It Doesn't Really Stop Vote Buying. All A Political Party Needs To Do Is Send Town Criers To Each Ward Announcing That It Has Freebies For Willing Electorates At A Particular Venue On Day Of Election And All You Need To Get The Freebies Is To Come With Your Phone.

Simply Stated, It's A Good Idea. However, It Needs More Critical Thinking If It Will Work

India’s rights watchdog has sounded the alarm over the suicide of hundreds of farmers in the western state of Maharashtra in recent months, calling for an official response.

Despite state aid, Indian agriculture is in a dire state due to drought, failed crops, poor infrastructure and low prices for produce, but Maharashtra is particularly badly hit.

The state government there said last weekend that 639 farmers committed suicide between March and May, an average of seven every day. In recent years the state has seen protests by farmers, sometimes turning violent.


The National Human Rights Commission on Monday told the federal and state governments to report back in a month over the crisis and to spell out what government welfare schemes are available.

“Farmer suicides in such large numbers is a serious matter as it involves the right to life of the victims. Their families also come under tremendous pressure due to sudden demise of an earning member,” the NHRC said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, likely to seek re-election next year, has promised to double the income of farmers by 2022 and launched a $1.3-billion insurance scheme to protect millions of them.

But Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrakant Patil told the state assembly Saturday that only 174 farmers have been given compensation, with 122 cases rejected and 329 under review.

Opponents of the government say more than 13,000 farmers have killed themselves in the western state since Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in 2014 both in Maharashtra and at federal level.

Across the whole of India, 13,000 farmer suicides have been recorded every year since 2013, according to government figures.

Mostly this is due to crops failing and inability to repay high-interest loans from private lenders, some of which resort to violence to get their money back.

A single crop failure can result in huge debts for farmers and leave them devastated as banks often deny future loans.

India lacks a robust irrigation system and instead relies on annual monsoon rains to irrigate millions of acres of farmland.

Agriculture contributes 17 percent to GDP, with some 265 million farmers or agricultural workers in India.

The attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has sadly been drawn to allegations that it prevented a chartered flight from landing at its Base in Makurdi on 16 July 2018, for political reasons. There is absolutely no iota of truth in the allegations that NAF’s decision was politically motivated. To start with, the runway at NAF Base Makurdi is not a dual user facility but one constructed strictly for military purpose. Accordingly, in line with global best practices, there is a clearly established procedure for non-NAF aircraft to operate into and out of the runway in Makurdi, and that procedure is well known to all qualified pilots in Nigeria. Indeed, many airlines had in the past adhered to the stipulated procedure and therefore successfully landed and taken off from the NAF runway in Makurdi. The procedure includes a written request to NAF Headquarters Abuja for permission for a specific aircraft to operate into its airfield on a specific date and time, including the names of passengers and other necessary details.

In this case, there was indeed a request for permit by the Benue State Government, dated 16 July 2018, for Aircraft with Registration Number 5N-FCT to land at NAF Base Makurdi on 16 July 2018. Although requests for landing permits are expected to reach NAF Headquarters not later than two days before the desired landing date, the NAF went out of its way to expedite the process and accordingly granted the permit for aircraft with Registration Number 5N-FCT to land at NAF Base Makurdi on 16 July 2018. However, at about 5pm on 16 July 2018, the NAF was verbally informed that there was a need to change the aircraft for which permission had already been issued, reportedly because the aircraft had developed snags. The NAF, therefore, asked for another written request, in line with the established procedure. As at date, the NAF Headquarters is yet to receive a written request for the replacement aircraft with Registration Number 5N-IZY to land at its Base in Makurdi.

For the avoidance of doubts, the NAF does not concern itself with political or religious affiliations of individuals/organizations in granting landing rights at its airfields. The issue of security and safety remains uppermost particularly while noting that the ongoing Operation WHIRL STROKE is largely being coordinated from NAF Base Makurdi, with fighter aircraft flying in and out of the Base. The NAF remains a highly professional and apolitical organization that would rather focus on its military duties. Consequently, the NAF wishes to implore all concerned to desist from dragging the name of the NAF into partisan politics.

Words Which Described CR7; One Of The Greats Of Football

And How Convenient That The Pupil's Name Is Chukwuemeka OTUMOKPOR?

Anyway, It's A Joke

An Italian trade union has confirmed that Fiat workers will go on strike in response to Cristiano Ronaldo's €105 million (£93 million) move from Real Madrid to Juventus. 

As reported by Football Italia, some of the transfer fee is set to be paid through the Bianconeri's parent company Exor, which in turn owns Fiat.

The lucrative deal has prompted an angry reaction from the automobile manufacturers affiliated with Unione Sindacale di Base, and it confirmed workers will walk out of the Melfi plant for two days:

"It's unacceptable that while FCA and CNHI workers continue to make huge economic sacrifices, the company then spends hundreds of millions of euros on the purchase of a player.

"We're told that times are tough, that we need to resort to social safety nets, waiting for the launch of new models, which never arrive. And while the workers and their families tighten their belts more and more, the company decides to invest a lot of money on a single human resource!

"… The company should invest in car models that guarantee the futures of thousands of people, rather than enriching only one. That should be the objective, a company that puts the interests of their employees first. If it isn't, it's because they prefer the world of football, entertainment and everything else.

"For the reasons described above, the Unione Sindacale di Base has declared a strike at FCA Melfi between 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 15 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17.”

As reported by Patricia Terroba of Marca, the Agnelli family, who have a 63.77 per cent stake in Juventus, also own 29.8 per cent of the conglomerate that Fiat and Ferrari are part of.

Juventus owner Andrea Agnelli "resorted to Fiat to finance the 'Cristiano Operation,' and as soon as they found that it was feasible thanks to the funds of the group, they said yes to the Portuguese."

Well, I Fully Understand Those Calling For Legalise Of Individual Ownership Of Guns. When Someone Dear To You Is A Victim, Such Thoughts Are Not Far From Your Mind. Especially, When It Seems The Government Isn't Willing/Able To Curb The Killings.

However, Is This The Solution Or A Prelude To Total Anarchy?

How Many Nigerians Are Able To Acquire The Superior Firepower Being Used By The Assailants?

I Am Still Of The Opinion That Reorganizing & Better Equipping The Security Agencies, As Well As Ensuring Dire Consequences For Any Embarrassing Breach, Is The Long-term Solution To This.

IT’S one of the things we are most afraid might happen to us. We go to great lengths to avoid it. And yet we do it all the same: We marry the wrong person.

Partly, it’s because we have a bewildering array of problems that emerge when we try to get close to others. We seem normal only to those who don’t know us very well. In a wiser, more self-aware society than our own, a standard question on any early dinner date would be: “And how are you crazy?”

Perhaps we have a latent tendency to get furious when someone disagrees with us or can relax only when we are working; perhaps we’re tricky about intimacy after sex or clam up in response to humiliation. Nobody’s perfect. The problem is that before marriage, we rarely delve into our complexities. Whenever casual relationships threaten to reveal our flaws, we blame our partners and call it a day. As for our friends, they don’t care enough to do the hard work of enlightening us. One of the privileges of being on our own is therefore the sincere impression that we are really quite easy to live with.

Our partners are no more self-aware. Naturally, we make a stab at trying to understand them. We visit their families. We look at their photos, we meet their college friends. All this contributes to a sense that we’ve done our homework. We haven’t. Marriage ends up as a hopeful, generous, infinitely kind gamble taken by two people who don’t know yet who they are or who the other might be, binding themselves to a future they cannot conceive of and have carefully avoided investigating.

For most of recorded history, people married for logical sorts of reasons: because her parcel of land adjoined yours, his family had a flourishing business, her father was the magistrate in town, there was a castle to keep up, or both sets of parents subscribed to the same interpretation of a holy text. And from such reasonable marriages, there flowed loneliness, infidelity, abuse, hardness of heart and screams heard through the nursery doors. The marriage of reason was not, in hindsight, reasonable at all; it was often expedient, narrow-minded, snobbish and exploitative. That is why what has replaced it — the marriage of feeling — has largely been spared the need to account for itself.

What matters in the marriage of feeling is that two people are drawn to each other by an overwhelming instinct and know in their hearts that it is right. Indeed, the more imprudent a marriage appears (perhaps it’s been only six months since they met; one of them has no job or both are barely out of their teens), the safer it can feel. Recklessness is taken as a counterweight to all the errors of reason, that catalyst of misery, that accountant’s demand. The prestige of instinct is the traumatized reaction against too many centuries of unreasonable reason.

But though we believe ourselves to be seeking happiness in marriage, it isn’t that simple. What we really seek is familiarity — which may well complicate any plans we might have had for happiness. We are looking to recreate, within our adult relationships, the feelings we knew so well in childhood. The love most of us will have tasted early on was often confused with other, more destructive dynamics: feelings of wanting to help an adult who was out of control, of being deprived of a parent’s warmth or scared of his anger, of not feeling secure enough to communicate our wishes. How logical, then, that we should as grown-ups find ourselves rejecting certain candidates for marriage not because they are wrong but because they are too right — too balanced, mature, understanding and reliable — given that in our hearts, such rightness feels foreign. We marry the wrong people because we don’t associate being loved with feeling happy.

We make mistakes, too, because we are so lonely. No one can be in an optimal frame of mind to choose a partner when remaining single feels unbearable. We have to be wholly at peace with the prospect of many years of solitude in order to be appropriately picky; otherwise, we risk loving no longer being single rather more than we love the partner who spared us that fate.

Finally, we marry to make a nice feeling permanent. We imagine that marriage will help us to bottle the joy we felt when the thought of proposing first came to us: Perhaps we were in Venice, on the lagoon, in a motorboat, with the evening sun throwing glitter across the sea, chatting about aspects of our souls no one ever seemed to have grasped before, with the prospect of dinner in a risotto place a little later. We married to make such sensations permanent but failed to see that there was no solid connection between these feelings and the institution of marriage.

Indeed, marriage tends decisively to move us onto another, very different and more administrative plane, which perhaps unfolds in a suburban house, with a long commute and maddening children who kill the passion from which they emerged. The only ingredient in common is the partner. And that might have been the wrong ingredient to bottle.

The good news is that it doesn’t matter if we find we have married the wrong person.

We mustn’t abandon him or her, only the founding Romantic idea upon which the Western understanding of marriage has been based the last 250 years: that a perfect being exists who can meet all our needs and satisfy our every yearning.

We need to swap the Romantic view for a tragic (and at points comedic) awareness that every human will frustrate, anger, annoy, madden and disappoint us — and we will (without any malice) do the same to them. There can be no end to our sense of emptiness and incompleteness. But none of this is unusual or grounds for divorce. Choosing whom to commit ourselves to is merely a case of identifying which particular variety of suffering we would most like to sacrifice ourselves for.

This philosophy of pessimism offers a solution to a lot of distress and agitation around marriage. It might sound odd, but pessimism relieves the excessive imaginative pressure that our romantic culture places upon marriage. The failure of one particular partner to save us from our grief and melancholy is not an argument against that person and no sign that a union deserves to fail or be upgraded.

The person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste (he or she doesn’t exist), but the person who can negotiate differences in taste intelligently — the person who is good at disagreement. Rather than some notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate differences with generosity that is the true marker of the “not overly wrong” person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it must not be its precondition.

Romanticism has been unhelpful to us; it is a harsh philosophy. It has made a lot of what we go through in marriage seem exceptional and appalling. We end up lonely and convinced that our union, with its imperfections, is not “normal.” We should learn to accommodate ourselves to “wrongness,” striving always to adopt a more forgiving, humorous and kindly perspective on its multiple examples in ourselves and in our partners.
