Some women think that the secret to making men fall head over heels in love with them is to make so much money, be beautiful and be intelligent. However, that is enough to attract these men but not have them stay in love with her.

Attraction is the first part, then the next is to hold his attention. Here are a few tips on how to make men start *in Chike’s voice* running to you.

DO NOT BE DESPERATE:

Ladies, men know when a woman is desperate to have a man in her life, and as a result, it will end in tears. A man tends to feel challenged when he realises that the woman he is interested in can do without him. In this case, he will do everything to win her over.

TAKE HIM OUT ON A DATE:

What a man can do, a woman can do as well. Surprise him one day by asking him out on a date. Many men have the perception that all women are broke and they have to be the ones to always pay the bills when they take them out on dates.

Ladies, dates are not restricted to restaurants only; you can take him on a picnic to the beach or a garden, amusement parks, films, or even go site seeing. All that matters is that you will make it an unforgettable experience for him.

PAY HIM A COMPLIMENT:

When a man sees a woman he genuinely likes, he goes out of his way to dress well and look good for her. Tell him you like his shirt, shoes, wristwatch, or even his haircut.

GIVE HIM A GIFT:

On social media, I come across posts about how men hardly receive gifts, even on their birthday and it is sad. Ladies, if you see something that is fine and you feel he will like it, buy it. If you do not have money to take him out on his birthday; call his friends over, you can even tell them to bring bottles of wine and buy a cake. It will go a long way.

LISTEN TO HIM:

Men are good listeners, and if he genuinely cares about you, he will listen to every word you say. Do the same to him. Through listening to his words, you will be able to tell about his likes, dislikes, and hobbies.

HAVE A KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EVERYTHING:

Some time ago, where a man tweeted about being on a date and asking the woman a question and she could not answer. Knowing a little about the happenings in the world will not hurt, but will open you up to a global worldview.

Sports, especially the type he likes, will make a man attracted to you. Just a little knowledge speaks well of you.

BE YOU:

It is great to want to be your best self. Let him see you at your best and your worst; that will make him appreciate you the more. You can only pretend for a short time.

ENCOURAGE HIM:

A man that likes you will tell you a little of his problems. Make him know that he is the best and the problems have nothing on him. Help him if you are in a position to.

In a bid to unlock the future of imaging, Canon’s (www.Canon-CNA.com) new high-performance, high-speed camera EOS R3 packs a punch with 24.1 megapixel back illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, DIGIC X imaging processor, 6K/60p RAW video recording and 30fps burst shooting with full AF/AE tracking, and an integrated grip design with professional levels of weather-proofing; Canon officially launches its much-anticipated Canon R tour – a series of roadshow events from January to December 2022 in a bid to introduce its revolutionary camera to people from across different countries.

In alignment with the company’s commitment and dedication to Innovation, Canon CCNA recently announced the next leap forward in full-frame mirrorless cameras – the professional-grade Canon EOS R3 (https://bit.ly/3gr0Hjn). Building on the success of the EOS R camera series, Canon EOS R3 is packed with robustness and performance that can deliver maximum speed, versatility, and reliability for sports, wildlife photographers and reportage. The company has also kick-started its Canon R tour – a series of roadshow events that will give people a chance to get up, close and personal with the revolutionary camera from January until December 2022. The R3 roadshows will be held in different countries inviting people from diverse backgrounds to participate in the dry run and experience the genius innovation of Canon R3 firsthand.

Leveraging its technological advancements developed for the original EOS R series in 2018 as well as bridging the gap between the much-celebrated EOS R5 and the illustrious Canon flagship EOS-1DX line, Canon EOS R3 highlights outstanding AF performance and swiftness with fast-moving subjects. The EOS R3 is also the first “3” series camera from Canon since the widely used EOS-3 film camera launched in 1998. Additionally, with the EOS R3, photographers can now enjoy a top shutter speed of 1/64,000sec and 30fps burst shooting, with simultaneous AF/AE tracking.

Master Movement with Advanced Autofocus

One of the key features of Canon’s new innovation involves the next-generation Eye Control autofocus technology that allows for the camera to seamlessly focus wherever the photographer is looking thus enabling extreme agility in fast-paced scenarios. Commenting on his experience with Canon R3, multitalented Lifestyle and Fashion Photograoher Lorenzo Salemi, says, “We live in the age of content and any tool that makes generating content easier for you is a jackpot. I have been in the field of photography for years toying with different subject but never have I ever been so impressed with a camera before. The autofocus and eye-control features undoubtedly set this camera apart from everything else that’s available on the market, the EOS R3 captures fleeting moments at 30fps, revealing details that are missed with the naked eye. So whether you want to shoot motorbikes or wildlife or capture details in fashion photography, Canon’s R3 has got your back. After just 2 days of using the camera, I realized I wanted to use it for shooting all kinds of images, the camera really unlocks your potential to creativity. It’s like the sky is your limit when you have Canon R3 by your side. The battery life is another brownie point, one can easily shoot up to 1500 images without batting an eyelid, making EOS R Camera a dynamo that lets you outperform and outpace with its potent blend of innovative design, intuitive controls and ergonomic excellence.”

Pushing Optical Boundaries

The design of the camera integrates a high-resolution 5.76m-dot OLED EVF and a 3.2″ vari-angle touchscreen LCD, along with dual memory card slots, wireless and wired connectivity, and an updated Multi-Function Shoe design for expanded accessory compatibility. Paras Chandaria, Kenyan Wildlife Photographer, tried his hand on the Canon R3 for the past couple of months concluding that this newest addition from Canon is par excellence.

Elaborating about his experience, he said, “As a wildlife photographer, I have been an avid user of Canon but this year I challenged myself to shoot African Fish Eagles in action at Lake Naivaisha and Lentorre Lodge’s photography hide to try photographing the rare and nocturnal species at the Ol Kiramatian Conservancy. And I couldn’t have asked for a better camera than Canon R3 which makes the ultimate choice available right now in the market with its advanced technology and features for complicated photography scenarios like these. I was amazed to see how great the images came out as it is not easy to capture African fish eagles which are extremely fast, but the results were amazing. The biggest plus point for me is the design ergonomics that make wildlife shooting easier, as we cannot carry bulky equipment in the wild so the camera-body design is of critical importance to wildlife photographers, not only is Canon R3 the perfect size and weight but its exceptional battery can support you to shoot in nature for more than 24 hours uninterrupted. Canon R3 has hit the spot for fast-paced photography with its advanced technology and user-friendly design.”

Perfection Personified: Flawless Features for Optimum Output

The camera is capable of shooting 6K 60p RAW and 4K 120p 10-bit uncropped video with Canon Log 3 support, in addition to the possibility for oversampled 4K and RAW movie internal recording. Emmanuel Oyeleke, esteemed Canon Ambassador and lifestyle photographer, assessed the camera in a trial run for two months eventually filming a documentary solely with the new EOS R3. Coining the EOS R3 as a ‘Canon’s Phenomenal Masterpiece’, Emmaneul elaborates further on his experience, “I am thoroughly impressed using the EOS R3 for past few months, be it the new technology, the added features or ergonomics or the battery life. It takes the art of photography to the next level with the amount of ease it offers whilst shooting. I shot a complete documentary merely with Canon EOS R3, however once you see it, it is hard to tell that there is only one piece of equipment involved in shooting as it is pretty similar to the film-grade image quality. For the purpose of my documentary, I had to shoot various fast-paces subjects which the camera captured brilliantly. If you are looking for speed, power, accuracy, ease of use, the Canon R3 has it all to go above and beyond the call of duty. It is like a beast of a camera that lets you outperform in any situation, whether you are outdoors or indoors or in harsh climatic conditions. If you are someone like me who likes to shoot diverse subjects from fashion to street-style to nature to portraits, this is surely the camera that will captivate your imagination.  Continuing the legacy of 1DX series, Canon R3 is indeed every photographer’s dream and best-friend.”

Generation R – Revolutionary Hub for Content Creators

In order to imbue the revolutionary spirit that stands behind the design of the EOS R3 camera system amongst photographers and visual artists, Canon has invited around fifteen to twenty local photographers from the region to test-drive this newly launched camera under its Generation-R program. The hub features exciting photo competitions, prizes, exchange of useful equipment as well the current trends in the photography world. The chosen photographers will receive the new EOS R3 camera to assess its features, design, handling and the quality of images.

Furthermore, the company’s R tour – a spectacular road show series of activations from January to December 2022 where people can get their hands on the actual Canon R3 camera to feel and experience it for themselves will be held across various locations.

Speaking on the matter, Amine commented, “Canon’s R tour is an excellent opportunity for anyone to pilot study our new products from the EOS range as well as unite and network with other people to pursue and share their passion and knowledge with others. We are elevating our concept of touch and try through this roadshow where it is us that go to the people and let them have a go at our Canon R3.

There is no better way to gauge the success of your products than to have people test-drive these and receive authentic and genuine feedback on the spot, we are extremely confident that the Canon R3 will steal the hearts of people with its cutting-edge and innovative features.”

Becoming a new parent is one of the best experiences that might change your life forever.

You might have more joy and happiness as you take care of your child. Besides, you will have more responsibilities to give your baby the best care and love.

However, parenting can be challenging if you’re expecting your number one child or don’t know how to care for your young one.

You might not know what to do and how to look after your newborn. Here are some essential resources that might make your work easier:

1. Follow Your Instincts

There is a lot of parenting information on the internet, which you can use to know the care to offer your child at different stages.

You can also seek advice from other parents. However, it is not advisable to follow all the information you come across.

Instead, it would help if you weighed what you read and heard before deciding what might be best for your child.

For example, you might find conflicting information about what to do when a child cries continuously.

The information you get might not offer any help. However, you might notice a difference when you follow your gut.

2. Be Ready for Changes

Your life will change when you become a parent. For example, you might have to stay up late when your baby needs your care.

Besides, you must be ready to abandon other duties to attend to your child when they require your attention.

Therefore, you must be ready for your new roles and the changes life might bring.

3. Spend As Much Time as Possible With Your Children

It is also advisable to spend as much time as possible with your kids if you don’t want to miss some of the most memorable moments in their lives.

Your child will grow up very fast, making it essential to enjoy each stage of their development.

4. Seek Professional Help

Most articles you read and the people you talk to about different childcare topics might give you varying information.

That is why it is advisable to seek professional help. You can take parenting classes beforehand from the newborn care specialist in New Hampshire or search for one in your area!

They will teach you everything about taking care of your newborn baby, including how to breastfeed and soothe them when they are fussy.

Your newborn care consultant will also teach you how to bathe your baby, how to swaddle them like a pro, and everything else that will enable you to know how to handle your infant expertly.

5. Share Your Experiences with Other Parents Taking Care of Infants

Every parent taking care of an infant has a different experience.

Their stories can help you offer the best care to your baby.

That is why it is advisable to share your experiences with other parents taking care of young children.

6. Offer the Best Care regardless of How Tough it gets

The first few months might be very rough because of the tasks you will be undertaking. Besides, breastfeeding might be more challenging than you thought.

However, it is advisable to continue offering the best care regardless of its toughness. Things might get easier after some time, and you will realize that your hard work was worth it.

7. Take Time to Rest

Overworking might harm your health, especially the first few weeks after delivery. Therefore, you should take time to rest.

You can also take a walk, enabling you to relax and help your baby sleep better.

Winding Down

If you’re expecting a baby or have just delivered, the seven essential resources will enable you to offer your newborn the best care.

Above all, taking parental classes will enable you to get professional training to ensure that you’re ready to welcome your baby.

 

 

 

An infection of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra is known as a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Urine goes through these structures before being removed from the body.

Urinary tract infections are significantly more prevalent in adults than in children, however they do affect roughly 1% to 2% of children.

Children’s urinary tract infections are more likely to be serious than adults’ (especially in younger children).

Aside from bedwetting, the most frequent urinary tract problem in children is infection.

Urinary tract infection is the second most frequent infection after respiratory illness.

In most cases, urine is sterile. When germs enter the urine and begin to multiply, an infection occurs.

The bacterial infection normally begins at the urethra’s opening, where urine exits the body and travels upward into the urinary tract.

In the development of a urinary tract infection, your daily routines and nutrition are highly important.

The following are some of the risk factors that increase your chances of getting urinary tract infection:

1. Excessive consumption of alcohol.

While alcohol does not cause a UTI directly, it can increase your chances of developing one for a variety of reasons.

Bacteria irritate and inflame the bladder, causing UTIs in all cases.

Alcohol does not cause a UTI since it does not cause germs to grow in your bladder.

2. Excessive coffee intake.

According to a new study, drinking caffeinated beverages may lead to the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in both men and women.

Citrus juice drinkers may have a lower risk of developing LUTS.

Men who increased their coffee consumption by two or more 8-ounce cups per day from baseline had a 61 percent higher risk of LUTS development during follow-up.

Consumption of orange or grapefruit juice was linked to a 50% lower chance of developing LUTS in men.

3. Unprotected intimacy.

The tube that transports urine from the bladder out of the body is known as the urethra.

Because the tube in women is shorter, bacteria can more easily enter and penetrate the bladder through the aperture.

The germs that cause a urinary tract infection (UTI) dwell in the region surrounding the private organ.

Intimacy can cause bacteria to migrate to the front of the body.

It’s only a short trip up the urethra and into the bladder from there, where it can multiply and cause a UTI.

Alfa leads thugs to disrupt church service in Ekiti.

It was a sad tale for members of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Oluwatoyi District in Ado-Ekiti, on Monday, as their monthly global crusade ended in a fiasco.According to the wife of the pastor in charge of the church, Dr. Ajibade, trouble started when suspected thugs allegedly led by one Alfa Kudus, in their numbers, thronged the church premises to disrupt the solemn assembly.

 

Ajibade recounted that ”during our Global Crusade on 31st January 2022 at the Deeper Life Bible Church Oluwatoyi District Ado-Ekiti, a young man, named Alfa Kudus came with some men to meet one of our members (Brother Imole) during the prayer session and started shouting that his wife was beaten by Bro. Imole

 

They started beating Bro. Imole and within a few seconds about seven persons joined them, including a girl, before we intervened.

 

”The Pastor of the church told them to settle the issues outside but they failed to listen to him. One of them used a baton to beat Bro. Imole. They also destroyed 12 seats.

 

”It took the intervention of the landlord to restore normalcy before the matter was reported to the police

Before we get stuck in, let’s run a few numbers. We know, we know – it doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but they’re crucial to understanding the Nominated Housemates’ state of mind, because they would certainly have run these numbers, already. So, here goes:

Only the Head of House (Terry) and Deputy Head of House (Themba) were allowed to Nominate Housemates, last night. Now, if each of them had four votes, that means that a maximum of eight Housemates could have been put up for Eviction: each with one Nomination from one of the Housemates.

But that’s not what happened. Instead, only five are on the block, which means – and this is the nub of the matter – three of them must have received votes from both Terry and Themba, with the remaining two receiving one vote from each.

Now, the Nominated Housemates cannot know for sure if they received two votes or only one, but a simple look at the probabilities means that each of them believes it is likely that they are among the three who did. We do know, however: Dinkybliss, Mvelo and Gash1 were picked by both Terry and Themba, and this has profound outcomes for the strategies at play.

Anybody who has been paying attention would not be surprised by Terry nominating Gash1. “There’s something about him that I’m very suspicious of,” she said during a Diary Session, last week. “Something is just off.” The fact that Themba nominated Gash1 is a little more surprising, especially since he didn’t nominate B.U. – the only Housemate he has clearly identified as a real threat, going so far as to make sure he shared a room with him, to keep him close. Why he didn’t nominate him is unclear: he’s either changed his mind, or he thought that it would be clear that Terry didn’t, and he would then be exposed as gunning for B.U. It’s complicated, obviously.

The fact that Mvelo was nominated is an even bigger mystery. Neither Terry nor Themba have ever indicated that they dislike him, or even see him as a threat. He’s actually been somewhat low-key, so far, so the fact that he showed up on both of their Nominations is a bit of a surprise.

The really interesting issue is Dinkybliss. Her Nomination by Terry was expected. “She played victim quite a lot this week,” Terry said last week. “When things didn’t go her way, she would throw a fit and not talk to anyone.” Dinkybliss’s erratic behaviour was commented on by quite a few Housemates, but the most striking comments came from Themba.

“She has two characters. I know how to get around her.” This begs the question – if he thinks he has her under his thumb, why on Earth would he Nominate her for Eviction? After all, he went on to say that he was “able to get any information from her.” Why run the risk of losing an invaluable source of backchannel information?

Of course, he claimed that it was because she didn’t get along with the other Housemates, but why should he care about that? That’s not his problem, surely? Besides, if that were the case, he could just wait for those other Housemates to take care of her, themselves.

Two other – more plausible – possibilities come to mind. First, he’s realised that Dinkybliss isn’t quite his to control. During her Diary Session on the very same day, Dinky said, “Themba thinks he can use me for information, but I’m feeding him the wrong info.” If Themba realised that she’s onto him, that might be enough cause for him to try and remove her from the game.

The second possibility is that he was somewhat taken aback by her behaviour during the Saturday Night Party. She very clearly made her crush on him a point of conversation, which he shot down by saying she is more like his “sister”.

When she suggested that they had come close to a sexual encounter of a sort already, he seemed genuinely shocked, insisting that it never happened. Perhaps that was enough for Themba to want to simplify what could turn out to be a very complicated situation.

As far as Mphowabadimo and Norman are concerned, there isn’t much to say. Obviously, neither of them particularly like being Nominated, but we don’t have a lot of insight as to why they were. Neither has come up in Diary Sessions with either Terry or Themba, so it’s a bit of a mystery, for now.

Of course, all of this number crunching can turn into a bit of a nightmare for Terry and Themba, later. There are now five Housemates who all have good reason to believe that they were nominated by both Terry and Themba, which means that they have plenty of reason to return the favour the first moment they get the chance. It seems that winning the Head of House and Deputy Head of House titles is a bit of a double-edged sword.

The game is on now that Evictions will be the order of the day; here’s a little reminder of all the places you can Vote and how you can save your favourite Housemate from possible Eviction.

Voting lines are open from every Monday night after the Nomination Show at 20:00 (CAT) and will close on Thursdays at 22:00 (CAT).
