As the world cup is fast approaching Russia is taking all forms of preparation to the climax from the government to her team, not leaving any stone unturned.

Security



Russia is promising her visitors to the world cup adequate security. The Islamic State and the Al-Qaeda have been making threats of all kind against the country due to the fact that Moscow stepped-in in the Syrian conflict but even at that, Russia is still ready to host and for security purposes have withheld the number of police to be deployed. And to that 41 locations have being marked prohibited to any the machine that flies, from drones to planes. Further reports have stated that flying drones has been made illegal in Moscow including the hotels of the 32 teams.

Stadium

With a total number of 32 teams, Russia have prepare. 12 different Stadia beginning from June 14 at Luzhniki Stadium which is the largest with a capacity of 80,000 seats and rounds up in the same place on July 15, a total of 65matches will be played during this tournament.

Transportation

Russia transport system doesn’t smile to the pocket and due to complaint made of laid about this, it has been the decision for Russia to transit fans during this period without a penny. Free trains and other forms of transportation decorated with the FIFA WC’s posters have being deployed to help in this activity only to those who have a form of ID known as Fan ID which is registered online. This trains runs few hours before and later in the day probably at night.

Accommodation


Russia don’t expect you to sleep on the street, so provisions have being made on housing this time around making it cheaper, there are lot of hotels and apartments for visiting fans but the issue is that is running out of stock due to high demands to the extent an apartment could be chosen by different people.

Team

Team Russia is not showing any form of drawback at the moment, topping up their game, the coach had been putting his team on a mandatory diet for a while now and just concluded their last friendly with Turkey just nine days to the world cup.

Feeding

Yeah the stomach should also be kept in mind but not to worry, even Moscow being one of the most expensive city when it comes to cost of living you, can still get a good meal of about $6. And for those that will need to spot a restaurant easily, apps like TripAdvisor and Foursquare will do the magic.

As you can see, the tournament is a few days away with everything being placed to suit the comfort of both local and international fans, so the question is how are you preparing from your end? Below are some lovely pictures of Russia as it begins to host the world.

The Amazing Story of my Pregnancy

Snoring can destroy a marriage, read more tips to combat it here

By Emmanuel Chiedu

My neighbour, Okon who just got married two months ago had a huge fight with his wife. It was their first fight indeed. On getting close to the couple, I discovered that the cause of the problem was simply snoring. The wife complained about how loud her husband snores which usually prevents her from sleeping well at night except on few occasions when she slept before him. Okon on the other hand said his wife was making him sleep on the floor because of something beyond his control. He argued he was done sleeping on the floor.

Snoring has strained so many relationships till date. No matter how much you love each other, snoring can put a strain on your relationship. If you are the one lying awake at night as your partner snores away, it is easy to start feeling resentful. And if you are the snorer, you may feel helpless, guilty, or even irritated with your partner for harping on something you can’t consciously control. If you value your relationship, make it your priority to find a snoring cure so you can both sleep soundly.

Working together to stop snoring can even be an opportunity to improve the quality of your bond and become more deeply connected. “Snoring can create real problems in a marriage,” says Daniel P. Slaughter, MD, an otolaryngologist and snoring expert at Capital Otolaryngology in Austin, Texas in US.

Before I talk about solutions, let’s first look at causes of this problem. Snoring is caused by the flow of air rushing across relaxed muscles in the mouth and throat during sleep. When your muscles relax, they collapse back into the throat which narrows and obstructs the airway. As air tries to pass through this obstructed airway, it causes an audible vibration, which is referred to as snoring!

Common causes of snoring may include being overweight or out of shape, age, sleep posture, the way you are built (Mostly men), nasal and sinus problems, blocked airways or a stuffy nose, alcohol, smoking, and medications.

It’s sometimes possible to treat snoring by making lifestyle changes. Try the following;

° Maintain a healthy weight and diet. Being overweight by just a few kilograms can lead to snoring. Fatty tissue around your neck squeezes the airway and prevents air from flowing in and out freely.

° Exercise can also help to stop snoring. As well aiding weight loss, exercising your arms, legs, and abs, for example, also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring. There are also specific exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles in your throat.

° Try to sleep on your side rather than your back. While sleeping on your back, your tongue, chin and any excess fatty tissue under your chin can relax and squash your airway. Sleeping on your side prevents this.

° Quit smoking. Quitting is easier said than done, but smoking irritates the membranes in the nose and throat which can block the airways and cause snoring. If the nasal passages become congested, it’s difficult to breathe through your nose because the airflow is decreased. Get help with quitting here.

° Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedatives before going to bed. Alcohol causes the muscles to relax more than usual during a normal night’s sleep. This added relaxation of the muscles makes the back of the throat collapse more readily, which then causes snoring.

° Change your sleeping position. Elevating your head four inches may ease breathing and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward. There are specially designed pillows available to help prevent snoring by making sure your neck muscles are not crimped.

° Clear nasal passages. Keep your nasal passages clear, so that you breathe in through your nose rather than your mouth. If you have a stuffy nose, rinse sinuses with saline before bed. Using a Neti pot, nasal decongestant, or nasal strips can also help you breathe more easily while sleeping. If you have allergies, reduce dust mites and pet dander in your bedroom or use an allergy medication.

° Establish regular sleep patterns. Create a healthy bedtime ritual with your partner and stick to it. Hitting the sack in a routine way together can help you sleep better and often minimize snoring.

° Keep bedroom air moist. Dry air can irritate membranes in the nose and throat, so if swollen nasal tissues are the problem, a humidifier may help.

NOTE: If you snore loudly and heavily and are tired during the day or you stop breathing, gasp, or choke during sleep, or you fall asleep at inappropriate times, such as during a conversation or a meal then you must visit a doctor. Snoring can sometimes be a warning sign of a more serious problem. A doctor should evaluate a snorer for any underlying medical conditions, other sleeping disorders such as sleep apnea, or any sleep-related breathing problems. If you or your sleep partner notice any of the following signs please visit your doctor… Good luck.
