What your man wishes you know

 There are many things your husband would love for you to know about him but he just can't be telling you. Is he purposely not sharing these things with you or has it been a while since you had a deep conversation together? The answer will be different for each couple, but here are five things he would like you to know:

 1. He loves you.
You are his world, though you may not think so. He does not always have an easy time expressing his feelings or sharing verbally, though he does show you in other ways, that's how men are wired. While you may prefer a hug or sweet words, he may demonstrate his love when he buys you your favourite snack or clean the house.

 2. He is embarrassed by how you talk about him with your friends in public.
When you make a joke about how he can’t find anything, that he doesn’t listen to what you say, or that he is boring, he doesn’t find it funny. When you criticise him in public he feels ashamed. After a while, these remarks begin to chip away at his trust in you as his loving partner.

 3. He wants to be number 1.
Although he loves your devotion to the children, he sometimes feels left out. He wants to feel more important than the kids so that when he is talking to you and the children interrupt, you put him first instead of attending to them. He is your full partner in parenting but he doesn’t want to compete for supermom’s attention. He wishes you would take interest in him, spend time with him, and go out once in a while. Showing your kids that your marriage comes first is a valuable lesson that will benefit them in the long-run even though they may be “kicking and screaming” when you leave them with a baby sitter.

 4. His sense of self-worth is directly connected to his abilities to provide for you.
 If your husband is currently out of a job and you are experiencing tension in your relationship, it is no wonder why. He needs you to understand how hard it is for him when he can’t provide because he feels like a failure. When you get anxious about your financial situation it makes him feel even worse because he has let you down. There is nothing more satisfying for a man than to provide for his family. So, instead of the fear, encourage him with prayers.

 5. He wants to be appreciated.
 He wants to know that you appreciate him for everything he does for you. He wants to know that you appreciate him for who he is. When you complain about all of the things he doesn’t do right, it is hard for him to feel that you value him. While we may feel so busy with life’s to-do list that we forget to express our appreciation, we seem to find time to share a complain or frustration with our spouse. Try carving out a few minutes each day before bed where you share with your husband what you appreciate about him and why.

 These five points are not all that surprising or profound, but you’ll be amazed at the positive and immediate effect they can have on your marriage. By accepting the way your husband loves you, being careful about criticising him, making him number 1, monitoring your money fears, and expressing appreciation for him, you are showing him that you are willing to meet him half way towards a better and more fulfilling relationship.

10 Signs That She Is Not That Into You

Girls are not easy to understand. No wonder it becomes very confusing for a normal guy to find out, if a girl is interested or otherwise. However there are also cases when we become victims of ignorance where we fail to notice basic signs that lie in front of our eyes. It is always better to pick these signs, before she assumes you to be this desperate psycho trying every chance to gain her attention.

 Here are 10 signs that she is not that into you:

 1. She often doesn't bother to return your calls: You could assume that probably she’s been so busy with work that she didn't get even two minutes to spare or that she obviously must have lost her phone or you could just come face-to-face with reality that, she’s just not that into you.

2. She flirts with boys in front of you all the time: When a girl likes you more than a friend, there can be no excuse why would she do this. So instead of making yourself believe that she’s just trying to make you jealous, why don’t you just come close to the truth? And the obvious truth here is, the girl is not that into you.

3. She shuns you away like a fly: Females always respect the one whom they are interested in. It is in their DNA. There can be no other explanation for belittling you, often forgetting promises made to you and choosing everything possible over you. So if a girl acts like she really doesn't give a damn, probably she really doesn't give a damn.

4. She runs away from commitment with you: When you try to talk about your future together, she changes the topic. It is time to face the fact. She does this because she doesn’t want to have a future with you and she may be flirting around with you.

5. She doesn’t return your advances: Think about how she reacts when you ask her for a date. Does she just change the topic or come up with silly excuses? If at all she agrees to come out with you, does she always try to bring someone along? Here the huge possibility is that she doesn’t want to be anything more than friends with you. She has already made it pretty evident. It is just you, who is delaying to pick the signs.

6. She is very amused by your jokes: If a girl finds you funny, half of the job of getting her attracted to you is done. However if she just won’t laugh at your jokes, if she rolls her eyes at your witty comments and sulks at your funny one-liners, she isn’t that into you.

7. She ignores you often: You catch a glimpse of her on the street. You excitedly wave in her direction. But she walks away as if she never saw you. When you finally manage to reach her and ask her why she didn't say hi to you, she acts all innocent saying that she didn't notice you. Well obviously she didn’t notice you because she was trying hard not to!

 8. She is often quiet around you: Women love to talk. So once that mouthpiece goes into silent mode, it is time to worry. You often notice her not being herself around you and often not telling you even basic important things about her day. You need not look further my brother, the big obvious truth staring at you in the face is that she is not that into you.

9. She often makes plans minus you: All girls like their space. But if most of her big plans don’t include you, this is a sign of trouble in paradise. It is so obvious that she is just trying to get away from you and doesn't know how to tell it to you.

10. Nice Comments:You write nice Facebook posts or rather made a nice comment on a blog, she sees it and either likes your comment or reply you nicely, that’s it! That doesn't mean she likes you and it’s not a sign that she is into you.

11. She sends out signs that she is uncomfortable: If you take a step towards her, she jolts backwards. This is a clear indication that she feels uncomfortable around you. Do you seriously need any more signs? 

Sometimes the signs are not that hard to pick. It is just that you are so blinded in love that you just won’t notice. All you got to do is open your eyes to notice the very much visible truth-she’s not that into you!

Indian Woman Too Poor To Have An Ultrasound Gives Birth To A Baby With 2 Heads...

A baby with two heads has been born to a woman in India after she was too poor to have an ultrasound during her pregnancy. Urmila Sharma, 28, gave birth to conjoined twins at Cygnus JK Hindu Hospital in Sonipat, Haryana, in northern India.

The baby, born via C-section and weighing 7lbs 7oz, has two heads, two necks and two spines but only one body. The baby girl, yet to be named, is under close observation in the neonatal intensive care unit, though doctors fear her chances of survival are slim.

 Dr Shikha Malik delivered the baby and said: ‘The parents are very distressed and we are helping the family the best we can.’ Urmila and her husband Subhash, 32, who have one other daughter, were too poor to have an ultrasound during the pregnancy so complications had gone unnoticed. Dr Malik added: ‘We only came to know she was carrying conjoined twins after an ultrasound two weeks ago but it was too late to do anything by then. Now the baby is born we will do our best to save her and we hope to operate once her condition is more stable.’

 Conjoined twins who share a single body have dicephalic parapagus - an extremely unusual form of conjoinment. Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus twins.culled from dailymail

Windows XP service ends April 8 –Microsoft

Computers currently running Windows XP will no longer receive critical security patches and updates after April 8, 2014, leaving them increasingly vulnerable to harmful viruses, spyware and the growing risk of cyber-attacks that can steal or damage personal information and business data, Microsoft has stated.

The new research by Microsoft has shown that Windows XP is five times as susceptible to viruses and attacks as Windows 8.1 because older operating systems were not designed to be protected against the fast evolving exploitation techniques and threats of today.

The Windows Group Lead for West, East, Central Africa and Indian Ocean Islands, Microsoft, Mr. Rotimi Olumide, was quoted in a statement on Monday as saying, “End of service doesn’t mean XP will stop running, but over time, security and performance will be severely affected. He said, “The latest International Data Corporation statistics show that businesses are prone to spend three times more on dealing with security issues in the next year if they don’t plan to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7 or Windows 8.”

 According to the statement, with Microsoft studies showing that PCs running XP are estimated to double productivity costs within two to five years, operating systems like Windows 8, with a productivity suite like Office 365, will not only offer complete protection against modern threats, but it will ensure enhanced business efficiency.

 “With small businesses contributing up to 50 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product and up to 90 per cent of employment in many sub-Saharan African economies, it is vital that they embrace newer technologies to remain competitive and thrive in the modern-era,” Olumide added.

Innoson to roll out new cars in April

The IVM Fox

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM), Nnewi, has made yet another milestone in the Nigerian auto industry as it promises to hit the market with two locally produced sedan cars; IVM Fox and IVM Amazon, as well an MPV; IVM Heritage, come April this year.

The company said its diversification into the passenger car segment was in fulfillment of its pledge to constantly expand the range of its vehicles to meet varied needs of the local market. It said the IVM Fox and IVM Amazon will be the fore-runners of a total of five passenger vehicles expected to roll out of the Nnewi plant in Anambra State in April, adding that this is in response to the introduction of the new automotive industry development plan by the Federal Government, which was designed to facilitate the production of affordable vehicles in the country.

The All-New Sedans – Fox and Amazon Powered by a 1.5 litre Mitsubishi engine, Fox is a B-segment sedan with a hatchback version, both of which are driven by either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission.

 Occupants of the Fox (including the driver) have a very friendly interior ambience, thanks to the well contoured seats, ample legroom and headroom, and an air-conditioning system. The bigger and more executive-looking sister, the Amazon, has under the bonnet a 2.0 litre engine (featuring an inbuilt turbocharger) which works in tandem with a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox.

Police in Ekiti has arrested the state’s Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr. Kayode Olaosebikan, for questioning over the beating up of a NYSC member at a registration unit in Otun Ekiti, Moba LGA of the state, Vanguard reports.

 Olaosebikan (pictured above), who is also the Chairman, NYSC board in the state, was seen at the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, making his statement. Olaosebikan allegedly beat up a youth corps member, Mr. Thompson Enobong, NYSC number EK/13c/1859, who is one of the NYSC members assisting INEC in the just-concluded registration.

 Enobong was subsequently rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Ido Ekiti, where he is said to be receiving treatment. Olaosebikan, however, denied beating up the corps member, saying he merely protected him.

 Vanguard also gathered that a soldier, Private Clement John is being interrogated by the police for disrupting the exercise in Emure Ekiti. The soldier, who claimed to be serving in an Army unit in Borno State, was reportedly over powered by others at the registration unit and handed over to the police. John has equally been transferred to Ado Ekiti for further investigation.

Also one Paul Ezekiel was arrested in Ikere Ward 2 for allegedly threatening officials of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, during the rush for registration. Spokesman of the state police command, Mr. Victor Babayemi, who confirmed the two cases, said the soldier would be handed over to the Army formation in Ondo State to ascertain whether or not he is a soldier.

Meanwhile, the Director-General, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye Movement, PAAM, the political organisation of one of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial aspirants, Bisi Kolawole, has called on the relevant authorities to protect NYSC members.
