Like it or not, she is touching lives. What have you done to help others today. It's world humanitarian day. Show a little bit of love and kindness, never go along with hatred's blindness. Into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer. Brighten the corner where you are #sharehumanity

Proper planning is what the family needs. Either the wife or the husband should do a job that will create time for the children. If one is working in the bank the other should be working as a teacher or even into business. Both parties shouldn't be too busy for the children. They need you

After a long wait for a new season, it is now upon us. The excitement
is here again with the best of footballIing games, coming from different countries in Europe.
The pre-season games have given the teams match fitness and help discover some weaknesses or lapses in teams. While the transfer market
is still open till the second day in September, players can still be signed to cover those areas, and fit in, into coaches philosophies.
The DFB-Supercup was won by Wolfsburg, after they defeated the league
champions (Bayern Munich) on penalty shoot out, to kick start the
German Bundesliga season.
PSG also defeated Lyon in the Trophee des Champions. Two nil was the
scoreline to claim their third consecutive throphy, ushering the league 1 season.
In England, the FA Community Shield will be coming up today at Wembley
stadium. Arsenal and Chelsea would be clashing for the fourteenth time
under Jose Mourinho, and his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger has
never tasted victory in any of their meetings. The two managers are
known for the jibes they often throw at each other, and the scenario
that played out at Stanford Bridge last season when Chelsea hosted
Arsenal.
On the pitch, the two sides have added to their squads. Arsenal have
signed the ex-Chelsea goalkeeper (Cech), and would be expected to
start against his former employers, while Chelsea have replaced the
departed keeper with Begovic from Stoke City and Drogba with Falcao.
Arsenal would have to do with Alexis Sanches, while Chelsea would also
consider resting Cahill and Costa due to injuries.
Would Wenger gets his first win over Mourinho, or would it be Mourinho extending his lead.

World Hepatitis Day observed on July 28 of every year is aimed to raise global awareness of hepatitis, to encourage prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Hepatitis affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide causing acute and chronic disease and killing close to 1.4million people every year.
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver which can be self-limiting or progressive to fibrosis, cirrhosis or liver cancer. It is caused mainly by virus. Other causes includes liver damage from alcohol or poison, medicines such as an overdose of paracetamol, immune cells in the body attacking the liver. There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as type A, B, C, D and E.
Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) is present in the faeces of infected person and is most often transmitted through consumption of contaminated food or water. People in areas with poor sanitation are prone to contract the virus. No specific treatment for HAV other than to relieve symptoms. Safe and effective vaccines are available for HAV.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids like receipt of contaminated blood or blood products, invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipments, mother to baby at birth, family member to a child and also by sexual contact through the semen. It poses a risk to healthcare workers who sustain accidental needles, stick injuries while caring for infected HBV patients. Serious liver damage occur resulting in cancer. Safe and effective vaccines are available. Chronic hepatitis B is treatable with antiviral medication.
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is mostly transmitted through infective blood. Sexual transmission is also possible but is less common. In HCV, unlike HBV, liver cancer risk is only increased in people with cirrhosis. There is no vaccine available for this virus. Chronic hepatitis C is treated with antiviral medication.
Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) occur only in those who are infected with HBV. The dual infection of HDV and HBV can result in a more serious disease and worse outcome. Hepatitis B vaccines provide protection from HDV infections.
Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is also transmitted through consumption of contaminated food or water. It is the common cause of hepatitis in developing countries. Vaccines are developed but are not widely available.
Not all forms of hepatitis are infectious. Obesity can be a cause of liver damage which can lead to inflammation. A person may have an autoimmune related injury, a metabolic disorder or genetic problem. These are known as non-infectious because they cannot spread from one person to another.
Uncommon types of hepatitis includes hepatitis X, hepatitis of an unknown virus and hepatitis G which is caused by HGV. There are no symptoms but mild when there are symptoms.
Initial symptoms of hepatitis are similar to that of flu. Other symptoms are jaundice, dark urine, headache, abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.
Physical exam can be done by looking for fluid in the abdomen, yellowing of the skin and enlarged and tender liver. Laboratory test to diagnose includes; ultrasound of the abdomen, liver function tests, liver biopsy to check for liver damage, test to diagnose hepatitis A, B and C and autoimmune blood makers.
Hepatitis can heal on its own with no significant consequence or can progress to scarring of the liver. Acute hepatitis lasts under 6 months while chronic hepatitis last longer. Treatment will vary , depending on the cause of the liver disease.
Hepatitis can be prevented through the following:
1. Cleaning blood spills with household bleach and water.
2. Avoid sharing of personal items such as razors.
3. Do not get tattoos or body piercings with instruments that have not been cleaned properly.
4. Avoid sharing drug needles or other drug equipments.
5. Always wash hands well after using the restroom and when you come in contact with an infected person's blood, stools or other bodily fluids.
6. Avoid unclean food and water.
7. Use latex condom to prevent the risk of transmission.
8. Vaccines are available to prevent hepatitis A and B. Vaccines is thought to be effective for 15-20 years or more. Get vaccinated.
Say YES to a hepatitis-free generation.

Antibiotics are strong, efficient medicines that fight bacterial infections either by stopping the bacteria from multiplying or killing them. They can also be used against certain fungal infections and some parasites. They can be life savers when used properly.
Antibiotics can be given before hand in surgery to prevent infection. This is called “prophylactic use of antibiotics”.
Overuse or misuse of antibiotics are the key factors contributing to antibiotic resistance. Bacteria are said to be antibiotic resistant when antibiotic drugs no longer have effect on certain strain of bacteria. Drugs that used to be standard treatments for bacterial infections are now less effective or don’t work at all.
Antibiotics should not be used for viral infections like common cold, flu, most coughs, most sore throat etc. Bacteria that are either beneficial or at least not causing disease in the body are been attacked by antibiotics when they are misused. This mis directed treatment can then promote antibiotic resistant properties in harmless bacteria that can be shared with other bacteria. If you have an infection, it is important to know whether it is caused by bacteria or virus.
Antibiotics are overused or misused by taking self medication, taking left over from previous prescription, taking for quick relief from symptoms regardless of the cause of illness, getting directly from the pharmacy without prescription, not taking the drug exactly as prescribed.
Antibiotics that are commonly overused or misused includes flagyl, tetracycline, doxycycline, septrin, ampiclox, amoxil and ampicillin. Common practice are using 4 400mg tablets of flagyl and 2 capsules tetracycline at once to treat acute diarrhoea, treating acute sore throat with just 2 tablets of septrin or 1 capsule of ampiclox, treatment of cough with just a capsule of amoxil and some even use ampiclox to flush the system etc.
If you take an antibiotic only a few days, instead of the full course, the antibiotic may wipe out some but not all of the bacteria, the surviving bacteria then become more resistant and can be spread.
When bacteria becomes resistant to 1st line treatment, the doctor will have to resort to less conventional medicines which are more costly and associated with serious side effects, hence, increased risk of complications and even death. Other consequences are increased cost associated with prolong illnesses, expenses of additional tests, treatment and hospitalization etc.
Know that before bacteria can multiply and cause symptoms, the body’s immune system can usually destroy them. There are special white blood cells that attack harmful bacteria. But occasion when it is too much and some help needed, then go for antibiotics.
You and I play a role in ensuring proper use of the drug to minimize the development of resistance. Always consult your physician before taking antibiotics and always make sure you use as directed. Use antibiotics wisely!!! Pharmtee..com

Wow!!!

The London side have won the FA cup back-to-back. Therefore, becoming the most successful club in that cup competition. That being said, it’s been long we saw an impressive Arsenal side that can compete both at the league, and the European competition. Arsenal have not been afraid to splash the cash in the last two summer transfer windows, thereby showing intent of competing with other big spenders in Europe.
In 2013/2014 season, Arsenal made a statement signing by getting the services of Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid, which many fans didn’t see coming, considering how they have always fare in their dealings. With the inspiration of having a marquee signing and a partnership that worked with Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal were able to clinch a trophy, after many years of being “trophiless”. Alexi Sanchez came with a bigger package from FC Barcelona, even though his transfer fee was not as huge as Ozil. Sanchez inspired Arsenal to defend the FA cup they won the previous season.
Who should we be expecting next to inspire Arsenal to greater things? Perhaps to clinch the EPL trophy to start with. To accomplish that, they would need to strengthen the team in some key areas.
Arsenal never really had much problems with their goalkeepers last season, even though Wojciech Szczesny lost his position to the newly acquired David Ospina, who had a wonderful Copa America by all standards. A good goalkeeper like Petr Cech can’t be in the market without getting “suitors”, who is arguably one of the best goalkeeper ever. Arsenal have got to let one of their goalkeepers leave, which is a reasonable thing to do. David Ospina would be allowed to leave considering his class.
The defence of Arsenal has been decent, but the addition of a new face in the central defence won’t be a bad idea, considering the age of Per Mertesacker and possible injuries to Laurent Koscielny. A loan deal for Calum Chambers would do both him and the club a world of good. A player like Stones of Everton can be considered.
The Midfield of Arsenal is arguably one of the best in the league. Arsenal have renewed the contract of their captain Mikel Arteta, thereby securing the services of one of their defensive midfielder. Arsenal has also been linked with, William Carvalho, Aturo Vidal and Morgan Schneiderlin of Southampton, with clubs like Man Utd and Tottenham also vying for the midfielder. Gunners would only consider the option of getting another defensive midfielder if they eventually sell Flamini.
Arsenal attack force has been decent, though they have three players that can play up front, they’ve always been linked to some strikers like, Carlos Bacca and Jackson Martinez, who have both joined AC Milan and Atletico Madrid respectively. Alexandre Lacazette can be the man to deliver the goods next season for them.
Who will lead Arsenal to glory next season?
