UGANDAN DANCE GROUP STUNS JUDGES ON BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT WITH GOLDEN BUZZER PERFORMANCE
~0.8 mins read
Buzzer for Ugandan dance group Ghetto Kids. The group consists of 30 children who live in an orphanage in Uganda, and their performance left Bruno so impressed that he said he felt like he was going to explode. Midway through their set, Bruno hit the Golden Buzzer, sending golden confetti flying and causing the kids to dance in celebration.
This was the first time in the show’s history that the Golden Buzzer had been pressed during a performance, and even Simon Cowell was surprised by Bruno’s enthusiastic response. Amanda Holden called it an “audition to remember,” while Alesha Dixon said the group were “absolute superstars.”
Bruno himself was blown away by the performance and told the kids that they should be proud of themselves and that he can’t wait to see them back. He even went backstage to talk to the kids and told them they should be in Hollywood. One of the highlights of the performance was when five-year-old Josephine joined the group on stage and danced along with the rest of the troupe.

Ways To Prevent Pregnancy Without Using Condoms Or Contraceptive Pills
~1.6 mins read
Many singles and couples place a premium on learning how to avoid becoming pregnant. Problems with mental and physical health for the expecting woman and her child, financial difficulties, stress on interpersonal relationships, and other difficulties are all possible outcomes of an unplanned pregnancy. So, it is crucial to learn about and consider all of the potential strategies for preventing an unintended pregnancy. In this article, we'll talk about some of the best alternatives to using condoms and birth control tablets for avoiding pregnancy.
The Mayo Clinic recommends abstinence as the primary method of birth control for those who do not wish to use a condom or oral contraceptive. This means avoiding all séxual touch, including caresses, foreplay, and even penetrating sèx (1). Although it may enhance sèxual tension and temptation, this is the only method of pregnancy prevention that is guaranteed to be effective.
Natural family planning (NFP) can be used by those who want to have sèx but not have children (2). Through the use of fertility and menstrual cycle tracking, NFP helps couples avoid getting pregnant by having sexual relations only while the woman is not ovulating. Methods include urinalysis, thermometry, and day counting. Couples may also opt to use barrier contraception together with these methods (such as diaphragms or cervical caps).
Withdrawal or "drawing out" is another way to avoid pregnancy through sexual activity (3). Discipline is essential for this approach to work because the man has to remove his pènis from the vàgina right before ejaculation. Due to the need for open lines of communication and trust, this can be challenging for some couples.
Last but not least, you can reduce your chances of having an unintended child by using spèrmicides or other fertility awareness techniques. Before engaging in sex, some people choose to use spermicides, which are items like foams, lotions, and jellies that contain chemicals that kill sperm (4). Contrarily, fertility awareness techniques have women monitor their periods to ascertain whether they should practice abstinence or employ spermicide.
Individuals and couples who engage in sexual activity should be aware of all the methods available to them for preventing pregnancy. It is important for a doctor and patient to work together to make decisions about contraception, and both parties should consult with a healthcare provider before making any final decisions.

Learn to know manipulation in relationship
Signs You Are Being Manipulated By Your Partner

Signs You Are Being Manipulated By Your Partner
Signs You Are Being Manipulated By Your Partner
These skills of manipulation have been passed down and are still being utilised to prey on unsuspecting people. Here are signs that you are being manipulated by your significant other.
Gaslighting
Have you ever apologised for what you didn’t do? Do you constantly Fd yourself questioning your reality, thoughts, and words every single time you are with your significant other? You might just be experiencing gaslighting. Gaslighting is emotional abuse that eats away at one’s self-esteem. Manipulative people have honed this skill into an art form and will continually use it until you are heavily dependent and questioning your existence.
Guilt-tripping
“Michael, if you love me, you would buy me that car”. Does this line sound familiar? Do you happen to be Micheal? Every time your partner needs you to do something you are not okay with, they question your love, threaten to leave, kill themself or make your life a living hell. Love based on conditions is not loved. And if your partner is comfortable making you do detrimental things, then they don’t have your best interest at heart. Learn to put yourself first. You are worth that much.
Constant emotional outburst
Emotional outbursts come with the territory, but this natural endowment can be turned into a weapon. Sometimes, people sail through any argument or confrontation and come out on top when this weapon is used. For instance, any time you call them out for their wrongdoing, just at that moment you are about to table your matter, they conveniently burst into a pool of tears. Now, you spend the time figuring out how to make your partner stop crying. With this power, tables do turn.
Silent treatment
Withdrawing or withholding one’s presence, support, or voice until you do exactly what they want is torture that no one deserves. The silent treatment is most times mixed with a lethal dose of passive aggressiveness which is characterized by your significant other giving physical cues like pouting, bursting into loud laughter, being sarcastic or anything just so you would ask “what is wrong?” with them and receive a gut-wrenching “I’m fine”. The main goal is for them not to come out directly and say what they feel. Very immature, don’t you think? After all, miscommunication ruins what could have been a great relationship.
Lying and blame game
One of the requirements of being an exceptional manipulator is being good at lying and passing the blame. A manipulator possesses the ability to think up stories on their feet and never take responsibility for their actions. If your partner ticks these boxes, we wish you strength because you are in a relationship with a manipulator.
Isolation
At the beginning of a relationship, it is normal to want to spend all your time with your significant other. But it begins to become a problem when your world revolves around them such that you can’t function without them. If your partner makes you detach from all your friends and family, becomes god over your affairs, you need to run for your life, not waltz, RUN. Once you lose your choice, you are now in a faulty relationship, which in itself is highly toxic.
The traits mentioned above are expressed in both gender so ensure you note the red flags and stay clear. If you’re already in said situation, you can either run or stay and work it out but have collateral by getting yourself a therapist.

Eat more of this to fight weak erection
To Fight Against Weak Erection.
~1.1 mins read
According to healthline Many guys deal with a weak erection on a regular basis, but they don't realise what everyday practises will help them. Healthline reports that erectile dysfunction affects approximately 100 million men annually worldwide. Male impotence, or the inability to get or keep an erection, is a major source of conflict in many monogamous relationships. Below, I'll give you a quick rundown of what Healthline recommends guys do on a daily basis to strengthen their erections.
One should drink a small amount of bitter kola every day.
The chemicals present in bitter kola can help men with erectile dysfunction by giving them more vigour and stamina. Because of its ability to improve blood flow to the male organ, bitter kola is also a useful treatment for erectile dysfunction. The male reproductive organ gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs to keep an erection going and keep the sexual energy flowing.
2. call for regular exercise.
Regular exercise is beneficial for everyone, including males. They are useful for fortifying the bulbocavernosus muscle. Ejaculatory pumping, urethral emptying, and blood supply to the privates are all functions of the penile erector muscle complex, which is activated during erection development.
Reduce or abstain from drinking excessively.
Excessive drinking is a root cause of many of the problems that society faces today. After a few drinks, it becomes more challenging to get and keep an erection going strong. It prevents the organ in men from enlarging in response to signals from the brain. Limiting your alcohol consumption is wise because too much of it might have a negative effect on your testosterone levels.

5 Categories Of Men, Women Should Avoid If They Want To Live Long.
~4.5 mins read
5 Categories Of Men If You Want To Live Long.
Women, avoid this 5 categories of men if you want to live long.
Dating can be a very tricky game if not done properly and carefully. If you don’t choose wisely, you are bound to make mistakes. And it’ll be more worse if you marry that person.. Marriage means being with someone for life. Every day the husband behaves well or badly. That’s why it’s so important to meet a good person who truly loves, supports and cares for you. If you meet a good enough person, you might want to get married. But there are some men you should never marry. Better to be alone than to date these 5 types of men:
1. The one who is abusive:
Why would you want to be with someone who was abusive in the first place? Never work with someone who cannot control their anger or irritability. It’s fine if your partner gets furious now and again, but if you’ve seen that he gets angry about the most insignificant things and vents his frustrations in an abusive manner, you should leave.
Eventually, you will also become depressed. If your partner is verbally abusive now, he may be physically aggressive in the future. So don’t marry an angry man:
2. “The ‘work is life’ man:
This is one that should definitely be avoided. It’s good that your partner is career-oriented, but if he thinks about his job all day, you should reconsider your options. A fully engaged person does not give advice or opinions about anything.
They listened quietly, nodded and said “whatever you want”. They don’t plan, they don’t discuss the future and they don’t take initiative. If you marry such a person, You will be lonely because he will not be able to connect with you emotionally:
3. The one who can only think of getting married:
So you’ve only met this guy a few times. Your partner knows, but he acts like he’s known you for years and talked about getting married. Marriage and children are his only topics of conversation. Such a person cannot be trusted, because he only talks out of turn. After all, it gives you plenty of reasons to stop doing something. If your partner is always talking about marriage, how much he loves you and can’t wait to live with you, he’s probably man full of empty words.
4. The over possessive man:
So this person doesn’t like what you’re doing. What you wear, who you chat with, how long you chat with other people, why you post on social media. Imagine that your husband talks about every little thing about you and you have to deal with it for the rest of your life. You may think they are kind and loving, but they are poisonous. No matter how hard you try, you will never earn the man’s trust.
5. Casanova:
If you are just one of his intrigues, you will see it in his behavior. A playboy will stick around only as long as he is enthralled by you or believes you can be the new sensation in his life. If you try to talk about something important to him, he will ask you to change the subject because you are ruining the moment.
Before you know it, he’s bored and looking for another woman. Why would a woman be with an adulterous man?
Antony Burgess
Very inspired story: A Year to Live.
Anthony Burgess was forty when he learned he had a brain tumor that would kill him within a year. He had no money at the time and nothing to bequeath to his soon-to-be widow, Lynne.
Burgess had never been a professional novelist in the past; but he was always aware that he had the talent to be a writer in him. So, just to be able to leave at least the copyrights to his wife, he put a piece of paper in the typewriter and began to write his first novel. It was not even certain that what he had written could be published; but he couldn’t think of anything else to do.
“It was January 1960,” he said, “and according to the diagnosis, I had a winter, a spring, and a summer ahead of me. That year, when the leaves began to fall, I would have died too.” With that speed and haste, Burgess had managed to write five and a half novels before the year was out. E. M. Forster could only write so many in almost an entire lifetime; J. D. Salinger, one of America’s greatest writers, managed to write only half of it in his entire life.
However, Burgess did not die. His cancer first regressed; then it disappeared altogether. In his long and full life as a writer, he produced more than seventy works, most famously A Clockwork Orange. He might not have written even one of these novels had it not been for the death sentence that cancer had inflicted on him.
Most of us are like Anthony Burgess; we hide a great talent waiting for an emergency to emerge from within us.
A useful exercise in self-motivation is to ask yourself what you would do if you were in Anthony Burgess’s place and found out that you would die of cancer within a year…
“What would change in my life, how would I live my last year if I had learned that I would only live one more year? ? What exactly would I do? Considering the brevity of life is a useful exercise; it often brings up surprising thoughts in your mind that will reveal your unused talents that have not yet surfaced.

Some of the difficulties you are currently facing is meant to wake you up, it's meant to bring out the hidden potentials in you.
Stop seeing that condition as a death sentence, how you see your situation is more important than the situation. Put your abilities to use as if you are dying tomorrow.
If you are not in any difficulty now, don't wait for problem to wake up, you might not survive it, be disciplined with yourself, make that hard decision now.
