MEN WARNED NOT TO SHARE WIFE’S BREAST WHILE BREAST FEEDING



MEN have been advised to keep away from their wives’ breasts while they are breast feeding their children to avoid inflicting wounds on the breasts and exposing the children to infection.
Professor Angela Oyo Ita, the Cross River State Commissioner for Health who gave the advice while flagging- off the 2013 Breast Feeding Week at Akpabuyo local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, stated that men sharing their wives’ breasts while they are breast feeding could inflict wound on the breasts and if the woman is HIV positive, the child could be exposed to the infection.
Professor Oyo Ita who was represented by the Director Nutrition of the Ministry of Health, Mrs Regina Adie  called on the women to practice exclusive breast feeding because it has been proven that beast milk contains 80% water and 20% minerals that are essential for the child’s growth.“The World  Health Organisation,  the United Nation  International   Children Educational Fund, and other renown world agencies have carried out studies and it has proven that breast milk is the best in keeping the child healthy, strong and happy”.
She said myths that a child that is exclusively fed on breast milk for six months  would at some point die out of thirst is not true because beast milk contains enough water to keep the child happy and satisfied. “Some time  ago, we came here and had a meeting with the men and called on them  to support their wives to carry out exclusive breast feeding for their children and the men said no because the children would die from the thirst for water, but that is not true”.
The Health Commissioner said the theme for this year’s breast feeding week. ‘Breast Feeding, Close to Mother”, was apt because the relationship between the mother and the child becomes stronger when the mother breast feeds the baby exclusively for six months.
“If you look at the face of your baby during breast feeding, you would see joy and satisfaction on the face and that brings the child closer to the mother”.
Mrs Rosemary Effiong, the Chairman of Akpabuyo Local Government Area said breast feeding keeps children strong and free of health challenges and “We in Akpabuyo do not want to have children who would put unnecessary pressure on our health facilities, so let every mother listen and obey the instruction  of the focal person on breast feeding”.
Mrs Effiong who was represented by the Secretary of Council, Mr Edem Okon said the council would continue to offer the needed support to mothers through financial empowerment to enable them feed well to breast feed their children.

SURE SIGNS SHE WILL CHEAT ON YOU



Men want to know if there’s any way to tell if the woman they are dating or married to will cheat on them at a future date and one day break their heart.

Women who are highly susceptible to infidelity tend to fall into one or more of the 16 categories below:

Categories of Women Most Likely To Cheat

Women who have lots of close male friends - Close friendships with members of the opposite séx are a common starting point for many affairs. The closer the woman is to her platonic male friend, the more likely it is that he will eventually end up becoming her lover – unless he’s gay.

Women who have an excessive need for attention - a woman who requires constant attention may cheat on her mate if she feels she isn’t getting enough attention from him. She will be easy prey for any man who showers with her the attention she feels she deserves.

 Women who are materialistic - a materialistic woman is likely to have an affair with a wealthy man because of the material things he can provide. She can easily be seduced with gifts of money, jewelry, designer clothes, lavish vacations, and other expensive things.

Women who are easily bored - a woman who is easily bored may cheat on her mate just to add some excitement to her life, or alleviate her boredom.

Women whose husbands or boyfriends have cheated on them – Some women who have been victims of infidelity may indulge in retaliatory cheating or revenge affairs. If you cheated on her, she may try to even the score by cheating on you.

Women whose girlfriends are cheating on their mates - never underestimate the power of peer pressure. Adults are susceptible to peer pressure, too. If her girlfriends or close female acquaintances are cheating on their mates, it’s just a matter of time before she be cheating too.

Women who thrive on being the center of attention - a woman who insists on being the center of attention at all times, the man who fawns over her and makes her feel like she’s #1 in his life is likely to score big.
Women who are alcoholics or drug addicts – a woman who is a substance abuser is much more likely to end up cheating on her mate. Women who overindulges in alcohol are susceptible to infidelity because their inhibitions will be lowered and their judgment impaired. Female drug addict may sell their bodies for drugs. Either type of woman is likely to cheat without realizing what she’s doing.

Women who are considered “party girls” - if she’s the type of woman who runs with a fast crowd, or routinely parties or hangs out until the wee hours of the night, her lifestyle makes her vulnerable to having an affair.

Women who are addicted to séx - Yes, women can be séx addicts, too. In the past these women were referred to as nymphomaniacs. This is a medical condition that requires medical help.

Women with a séx drive greater than that of their partner - a woman whose séx drive greatly exceeds the séx drive of her husband or boyfriend, or whose spouse or significant other is lacking in bedroom skills, is much more likely to cheat on her mate. If she wants to have séx all the time, she’ll find someone to fill in when her husband or boyfriend isn’t there.

Women who are séxually experienced - a woman who has had an extremely active séx life, or who has had numerous séx partners before settling down, will find very difficult to stay faithful to just .one man.

Women who cheated on their mates in the past without getting caught - a woman who has cheated before and got away with it will have no qualms about cheating on her mate again, or cheating on the new man in her life. After all, she’s already proven to herself that she can escape detection, and will be confident that she can pull it off again without getting caught.

Women who are thrill seekers or risk takers - this type of woman will cheat just for the thrill of it, or for the excitement of doing something forbidden. She views infidelity as other people would view a high-risk sport.

Women who have big egos - if a woman is extremely égotistic, any man who feeds her ego can easily get her into bed.

Women who suffer from low self esteem - a woman who has low-self esteem is easy prey for a man who flatters her, builds her up, makes her feel good about herself, and boosts her self esteem.
The more of the above categories your wife or girlfriend fits into, the more likely it is that she will cheat on you.

5 WAYS TO TURN A WOMAN ON WITHOUT PHYSICAL CONTACT



No, this isn’t about where to kiss her, and different ways to touch her body. We are talking about achieving this without ever laying a finger on her. Non physical attributes play a big role in generating attraction with a woman, and here are 5 that can truly have an impact.

1. Intelligence
For a lot of women, a smart man is a sexy man. Knowledge is power, and it can definitely intrigue a woman. Having the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation can have a very positive effect on a woman.


2. Being Considerate
When you do something considerate, it can make a woman feel special. And that can sometimes materialize into a greater attraction. Being mindful of her feelings and doing small gestures to show her you’re thinking about her can easily win you some points. You’re pouring into her emotionally and that makes her much more receptive to you.


3. Ambition
A man with no aspirations and no drive can be a huge turn off for a woman. Having passion and a purpose can really do it for her. It gives off the energy of a man who is about handling his business, and a woman loves to see that.


4. Assertiveness
Most women (if not all) are not turned on by a man they view as too soft and passive. Knowing how to be assertive and putting your foot down at the right time (in the right way) can cause that woman to melt right before your eyes. That doesn’t mean go out and behave like an a-hole, or treat her like she is beneath you. It just means stand strong, handle your business, and demand respect. If she can’t respect you, then she won’t have a desire for you.


5.Appearance
Even though men tend to be more superficial than women, don’t be fooled. She is paying attention, and she too wants something nice to look at. It doesn’t mean you need to have expensive clothes or flashy jewelry. Simply learning how to present yourself as well put together can do wonders. Know how to rock a suit, and that casual outfit. Don’t forget a nice pair of shoes. A lot of women are looking at your shoes whether you realize it or not.

RESUME WRITING GUIDE

Writing a resume can intimidate anyone. How should I start? What should I write? What points should I include? What format should I use? These are just a few of the questions that can bother anyone. But if you keep a few things in mind, you’ll see that it’s not really that daunting a task.
Employers receive hundreds of resumes, so the main thing to keep in mind is to try and make your resume stand out and grab the employer’s attention at first glance. To be able to do this, it should be visually pleasing as well as well written. There are no set rules to writing a good resume, nor are two resumes ever alike. They cannot be, because each resume is structured around a particular job. The only thing all resumes should be is that they should all be as effective as possible, because remember – a resume is supposed to be a selling tool. The more effectively it is written the better your chances of being selected. For a resume to be really effective, tailor it around the particular job that you are applying for, and address the employer’s requirements. So the more you know about the job and the employer, the better you can tailor your resume for that position.
A good resume should include all of the following:
  • Heading - includes your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
  • Objective - tells the employer the sort of work you’re hoping to do. The rest should be structured around this objective.
  • Education - tells employers what you’ve learned.
  • Experience – this should be built around the employer’s requirements.
  • Skills and accomplishments – this includes special skills and accomplishments like fluency in a foreign language, proficiency in specific computer programs, leadership experience, a listing of honors and awards, activities that relate to the job, etc.
The contents given above should be written clearly keeping the following points in mind:
  • Keep it free of grammatical and spelling errors.
  • Use bullets and short sentences.
  • Use action words to make the resume stand out.
  • Highlight your strengths, especially those that the employer is looking for
  • Be positive and leave off negative and irrelevant information.
  • Be professional in tone, otherwise you won’t be taken seriously.
There are two basic types of resumes – chronological and functional.
The chronological format highlights your job titles, places of employment, and dates of tenure by presenting them as headings under which your achievements are listed. This format is used when you are staying in the same field, your work history shows growth, your current position is one you are proud of, and there are no gaps in your work history.
The functional format presents your experience under skill headings, so you can list your accomplishments by impact rather than by chronology. In this format, your work history is listed very concisely in a section separate from your achievements. This format is used when you change careers, you need to emphasize skills or experiences, your most recent position is not impressive, or your job titles don't accurately reflect the level of responsibility you had.
Sometimes the two formats are combined to give what is called a ‘combination’ format.
Which format to use depends on your particular situation. To get a better idea of what good and effective resumes should look like, please refer to the Sample Resumes
Important: Never send out your resume without a cover letter.
