In my opinion, 2018 fashion trends will remain the same as 2017 because, in my vocabulary, the synonyms for Trendy are decency, simplicity, and assertion, which as far as I am concerned never go out of fashion. The less important details of fashion may vary but these basic elements tarry on. In this regard, my quintessential stars are the following women:
One common trait of successful people is that they don’t waste time. They Invest time rather than spending it. Throughout the World and all history, every Greatness, every Success story, every commanded respect, all begins, is sustained or crumbles by the art of personal time management. I believe Africa is greatly despised by the Globe due to our Lack of and poor time management skills. Anyone who can’t manage his time can’t manage his own life and easily become a slave to the ones who can make use of that time properly. I guess this sadly explains why most Africans work better under other races.
By: Mwila Mwila Parents may not sometimes approve of the dressing styles that the teenage girls are following but in most cases, it’s just a lack of a good memory in most of us Parents, especially Mothers, on what a confusing stage Teenage hood can be, especially when it comes to individual style and fashion taste. Teenagers usually experiment with different elements with regards to clothing and try to find their unique sense of style. If you have a teen girl at home, you’ve probably already seen her fretting over what to wear and how to style her look, please allow them, a little experiment would do no harm. And besides, it’s just another phase in growing up, which eventually fades. Instead of trying to have them fit in with your preferred and imagined kind of peer dress code, as most parents to Teenagers do, you have to remember that,…

I was born into a male-dominated family, nurtured in a male-dominated society, and educated in a male-dominated country. Because of this, I realize I’m going to be in a lot of trouble, especially from the matriarchs of the very system I benefited from my entire life. How dare you bite and spit at the very hands that fed you, some might rightly ask? They are, of course, correct. But, something strange happened in my 20s — I grew a conscience.
In 1975, Brooklyn witnessed the birth of a heroin and a spectacular trailblazer. She was born as Ludmya Bourdeau but presently known as Mia Love. Mia Love who happens to be the first black female Republican Party member to be elected into a US Congress was born on the 6th of December 1975 but was raised in Connecticut by her Haitian parents, Maxime and Marie Bourdeau. She was raised with very little resources and had a humble childhood. She was the youngest of three children born to her Roman Catholic parents. When Mia’s parents migrated from Haiti to the US, things were a bit difficult because they got into the country with a tourist visa which only afforded them a temporary stay. At the birth of Mia, the couple got a permanent residue status based on the immigration law at that time that grants immigrants from the Western Hemisphere who…
By: Nick Webster Hospitals and clinics are bracing themselves for the onset of flu season but are not expecting an increase in the number of cases seen last winter. Advice is being offered by the Ministry of Health and Prevention to strengthen influenza response capacities. That includes offering vaccines to those most at risk and improving diagnostics and disease surveillance to help monitor potential outbreaks. Common symptoms include a fever with a rise in body temperature, a dry cough, body aches and sometimes vomiting and diarrhoea, especially in children. “Those at the extremes of age, both very young and old are most at risk from influenza,” said Dr.Magdi Mohamed, a consultant in emergency medicine at Burjeel Hospital. “Anyone with any kind of immune deficiency or those with diabetes or HIV are also more at risk. “Prevention is always better than cure, so they should avoid contact with sick people.…
By: Robert Preidt, HealthDay Reporter Most American women would prefer to get a mammogram to screen for breast cancer every year rather than every two years, a new study finds. Currently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women at average risk for breast cancer be screened every two years, beginning at age 50. The recommendation is based in part on potential harms associated with screening mammography. Those include diagnosis and treatment of noninvasive and invasive breast cancers that would not have posed a threat to a woman’s health, as well as unneeded biopsies and the anxiety caused by false-positive results. However, other experts believe that the benefits of early breast cancer detection far outweigh the potential harms. To get women’s views, the researchers surveyed 731 women, 59 years old on average, who had screening and diagnostic mammograms done at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia between December 2016…
