Dec, 30 2022.
A group of civil society organisation based in Bende Abia state known as Bende integrity Forum has once again come out to condemn the bassless assertions made recently by Chief Frank Chinasa The Labour Party house of representatives candidate in the area during a town hall meeting recently held at Amaeke item in Bende LGA, pointing that such characters must never be allowed to hold any public office within the area.
Chief Chinasa while addressing the people of item ward during a Town Hall meeting at Amaeke item, in his views he emphasised that Bende people will no longer support any political office holder who's motives is to fill the entire landscape of Bende with projects (infrastructures) or edifice noting that Good roads, clean water or bridges will not bring food to people's table as he emphatically made it clear that the ongoing infrastructural revolution across the Constituency remains visible and timely and are well appreciated maintaining that it is at the same time a waste of resources to the people.
When contacted Mr Nelson Ojingwa the senior media assistant to chief chinasa Iheanyi in his words strongly supported the views of his principal pointing that building bridge's and roads can no longer solve the personal problems of the constituents describes the series of infrastructural transformation ongoing in the area as a ploy be the Ruling APC government to win the 2023 General elections.
Meanwhile a respected Labour Party Chieftain in Bende who pleaded anonymity with our reporter strongly argued against the views of chief Frank Iheanyi Chinasa describing the labour party flag bearer as a teething politician who must immediately submit himself for intense political internship in order to avoid further political backlash from the electorates pointing that Bendelites are more wiser and rational in selecting their leaders while the party Chieftain admonished those working for the Labour flag bearer to do more in developing their principal on areas of content, capacity and character insisted that the party's integrity must not be allowed to rub in the mud, while the chieftain also stressed that the upcoming politicians need more time to learn the robes if not how can he leave his governorship candidate Dr Alex Otti who happenes to be the leader of party in the state to support another candidate from another new party, he also left his own senatorial Candidate to support another senator . Didn’t you see the Christmas greeting cards they produced and distributed showcasing their candidates? That one is not close to the integrity of Alex Otti and our presidential candidate . I wonder why they chose him ignoring his embarrassing record .
Continuing, I heard him boast of how he will end hunger in Bende with the position of house of representatives even when the president of America has not ended hunger in America . It shows he does not know what that office entails . Did you hear him say in four year he will raise billionaires in bende who will contribute billions to build road that bende does not need government to build road . It is truly laughable and a display of a political neophyte, in all sincerity I am disappointed by the decision of our party by fielding such an uncultured fellow, he said.
Moreso, all efforts to get across to chief Frank Iheanyi Chinasa proves abortive as the Labour Party flag bearer refused taking his calls at the time of filing the report.

...........𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒔, 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔.

The highly revered Labour Party of Nigeria seems to be in a bad light in Bende Federal Constituency, Abia state as members accuses the leadership of the party over what it described as overbearing possessiveness within the party lines.
The Abia state chapter of the party will have to battle image cleansing as the party appears to have gone contrary to what it ethically and morally stands for as the news making rounds has it that the party stakeholders seems not to agree with the decision of Chief Chinasa Iheanyi (Dogo Bende) as the party's flag bearer in Bende Federal Constituency National Assembly elections, describing him as a wrong ambassador and bad image to the party.
Sir Kelenta Mmaju, an aggrieved stakeholder of the party in the state who chatted with our correspondent over the phone uncontrollably poured-out his heart on the matter, noting that they accepted the candidacy of Chief Iheanyi Chinasa out of frivolity instead of carrying an Indepth background check to ascertain the real personality of the candidate, he further described it as a herculean task which may even sink the image of the party.
This position was hinged on a news on the United States department of justice website which has it that Iheanyi Frank Chinasa, 39, gaithersburg, Md., was sentenced to 84 months in prison for his participation in a scheme to defraud cisco systems Inc., announced by the Assistant Attorney General Lanny A, Breuer of the criminal Division, U S. Attorney Neil H. Macbride of Eastern District of Virginia and Michael Morehart, special Agent in charge of the FBI Richmond, Va., field office.
Chinasa was also ordered by the chief U. S. District judge James R. Spencer to pay restitution of $18,761,825, jointly and severally with Co-defendant Robert Kendrick Chambliss, who was to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term, chinasa was convicted on Feb. 7, 2011 by a federal jury Richmond of one count charge of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, eight counts of mail fraud, one count of wire fraud and one count of obstruction of an official proceedings and jailed for seven (7) years.
Reacting to the development, the Media Assistant to the Labour Party flag bearer in Bende Federal Constituency, Ojingwa Nelson, when contacted acknowledged this fact that his principal was sentenced to jail on many counts of fraud to the tune of over twenty five million dollars ( $25m), however he has served his term which according to him does not hamper his National Assembly ambition pointing that his principal is not in anyway deterred by mere witch hunt and acrimonious rumour - mongers.
When asked if he won’t defraud the common wealth of Bende people same way he did to Cisco when he worked with the company if given the opportunity. He said no comment .

ATTRIBUTES OF MODESTY
Tumblr media
8 Attributes of Modesty
Introduction
Romans 12: 3. “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. But to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” Modesty protects the mystery of people and their love. It encourages patience and moderation in loving relationships. Also, it inspires one’s choice of clothing. It keeps silence where there is evident risk of unhealthy curiosity. In addition, it is discreet. Modesty has no limit; the more the better. A person who is extremely modest can successfully cross big rivers. However, modesty is more than what you wear. So, we can go on and on and on when it’s about the attributes of modesty. See also Meaning of Modesty here.
Attributes of Modesty
The attributes of modesty mostly show in appearance, thought, and attitude. When a woman veils her body in modesty, she is not hiding herself from men. Rather, she’s revealing her dignity to them. Same is applicable when a man veils himself in modesty. Real modesty, however, is a constant and desirable quality. It is based not on fashion but on appropriateness. Modesty is like a car with several parts which are its attributes. In this article, we shall be glad as you stay tuned while we show you eight attributes of modesty.
1. Simplicity
This means appreciation of the small things in life. However, simplicity is freedom from excess material desires and emotional desires. It avoids waste, greed, fear, negative peer pressure influence, and a false sense of identity. Simplicity teaches economy. Also, it maintains esteem and relates directly to being submissive to God.
The truth is that simplicity is almost always best. When focusing on simplicity, your creative work becomes easier to understand, easier to recognize, and easier to use. Simply put; simplicity makes things easy. However, a simple life is a fulfilling life. Simplicity is void of complication. So, modesty is simplicity.
Ten ways of Living a life of simplicity:
i. Cut down unnecessary social media involvement.
ii. Shop for quality over quantity.
iii. Take time to slow down.
iv. Volunteer your time to others.
v. Define your values/principles and stick to them.
vi. Don’t double-book yourself, be specific.
vii. Spend time in nature, it’s beautiful.
viii. Say “I love you” more often.
ix. Notice the small things and appreciate them.
x. Spend time alone in meditation.
2. Living Within One’s Means
To “live within your means” means that what you spend each month is less than or at least equal to the amount of money you bring in each month. For many people, it’s a lot easier said than done. This is sometimes as a result of the availability of credit cards, loans, and even emergency funds.
These aforementioned allow one to buy more things than one’s income would ordinarily allow. Your “means” is your income. So, to live within that threshold, do spend less on your lifestyle than you generate in earnings. That is what modesty implies.
How to live within your means (modest living):
i. Set your budget.
ii. Track your spending.
iii. Save before spending.
iv. Pay your debts.
v. Pay with cash or debit.
vi. Plan large purchases to avoid impulse spending.
vii. Wait for sales.
viii. Ask for a lower price.
ix. Leave room in your budget for fun.
x. Make sure you have enough income.
Living within your means starts with an understanding of how much you have to spend and what you need to save to achieve your financial goals. Financial independence is being able to pay your own bills, while living comfortably. However, it also means being able to afford basic lifestyle amenities while funding long-term needs without stress. If you’ve cut your expenses to the bare minimum, but still have trouble living within your means, it may be time to look at your salary or take up another job/career. There’s no better time to start than now. Modesty is not synonymous to suffering. This is the steering of modesty.
Linda Chavez Quote: “Modesty used to be considered a natural female attribute. No more.”
3. Contentment as One of The Attributes of Modesty
The attribute of contentment means to be happy with what you have, who you are, and where you are. In other words, it is respecting the reality of the present. Also, it is appreciating what you do, have, and where you are in life. Contentment is especially helpful in situations in which there is no way to improve things. “I come from a background where you don’t show off the good things you do.” This is modesty. Bragging about yourself violates norms of modesty and politeness – and if you are really competent, your work will speak for itself. How do you live a life of contentment?
Six proven ways to live a life of contentment:
i. When you find yourself unhappy with someone or something, pause and rethink.
ii. Don’t prioritize your wants over your needs by buying stuff you don’t need.
iii. Appreciation is an action word. Show people that you appreciate them.
iv. Practice gratitude, it is a coin to purchase contentment.
v. Learn to enjoy simple things that don’t cost much money.
vi. Live in the moment consciously.
Contentment is the cornerstone of happiness. However, it is one of the most essential needs in today’s competitive world. We must be first self-satisfied and satisfied by God, in order to lead a life of contentment. Then, we will receive the blessings of happiness naturally from all. Contentment is a grace learned over time. It is the brake pad of modesty.
4. Long Term Planning
Long-term planning involves goals that take a longer time to reach and this obviously requires more steps. These goals usually take a minimum of a year or two to complete. However, they aim to permanently resolve issues and reach and maintain success over a continued period. Long-term planning is more concrete than the opposite; short-term planning. They are not something you can do this week or even this year. Usually, long-term goals take 12 months or more to achieve. They act as a map or guidance, clearly establishing where you are headed and how you are going to get there. As an example, you have a long-term plan to double your sales within the next five years.
Basically, long-term plans don’t change. But then, the short-term plans you make to bring life to the long-term goal can change and likely will. Long-term planning allows you to accurately prioritize works, and monitor your progress towards the end goals. This process liberates you from the troubling cycle of day-to-day planning. Some examples of long-term planning that can take several years to achieve include graduating from college, saving for retirement, and owning a company.
How to plan for a long term:
i. Work backwards. Think about what you want to achieve then plan steps going back to what you can do right now.
ii. Create a picture of where you want to be in life 10 years from now.
iii. Think about what you need to do in five years, in one year, and in six months to get to your long-term goal.
iv. Write down what you need to do each month to achieve your goals.
v. After each monthly goal is achieved, look at your goals and adjust them accordingly.
vi. Prioritize the long-term set goals. Prioritizing means that you decide what is most important to you right now. All of your goals are important, but it’s impossible to work on all of them at once.
vii. Choose what is most important right now.
viii. Focus mainly on that goal.
ix. Add additional goals as you become comfortable with your efforts.
x. Change your focus on goals as your life changes, that is; being flexible. This is the fuel or driving force of modesty.
5. Non-Materialism
Living a less materialistic lifestyle doesn’t mean becoming a monk and abstaining from all of life’s pleasures. However, it means shifting your focus away from possessions so they become less important by comparison. Another word for being non-materialistic is immaterial.
Modesty Is The Best Accessory - Inspire And Motivational Quote. Hand Drawn Beautiful Lettering. Print For Inspirational Poster, T-shirt, Bag, Cups, Card, Flyer, Sticker, Badge. Elegant Calligraphy Sign Royalty Free SVG, Cliparts,
To be materialistic means to have values that put a relatively high priority on making a lot of money and having many possessions. Also, it means placing priority on image and popularity, which are almost always expressed via money and possessions. Materialists are sad and terrible people; overly concerned or preoccupied with material possessions rather than with intellectual or spiritual things.
Seven tested and proven steps on how to be non-materialistic:
i. Limit your unproductive social media consumption. Lifestyles portrayed there is very influential and rarely real.
ii. Value experiences and intellectual gain over material things.
iii. Practice gratitude no matter how little the offer seems.
iv . De-congest your living space to see the beauty than comparing with another person’s.
v. Indulge in healthy hobbies; all work and no play make jack a dull boy.
vi. Shift your focus onto the needs of others. Yes! Love is the greatest commandment. Nevertheless, love moderately.
vii. Realize that you can’t take it with you. No one dies and returns to the dust with wealth and fortune. One step at a time, one day at a time is moderation.
6. Humility as One of The Attributes of Modesty
This means freedom from pride or arrogance. It is the quality or state of being humble. For instance, being a parent can be a very humble job; changing diapers, and meeting a child’s every need for years. Also, letting someone ahead of you in line when you see they are in a hurry is an act of humility. Similarly, joining the queue even when you have the possibility of jumping it is an act of humility. Also, cleaning the bathroom of your office, even though you own the company, is an example of humility.
In Proverbs 22:4, the Bible says that true humility and fear of the Lord “lead to riches, honor, and long life”. However, humility is essential for establishing a right relationship with God and other people. Humility is also necessary for maintaining a proper perception of ourselves. Indeed, humility is the twin to modesty but not same.
Features of humility that make it an attribute of modesty:
i. Humble people are not boastful.
ii. Humility entails being grateful for everything in life.
iii. Humble people do not belittle others.
iv. Humility doesn’t rhyme with jealousy.
v. Also, it is not proud.
vi. Humble people are not impolite/rude.
vii. Humility is not vain.
viii. Humble people are not materialistic.
Apparently, all these are same attributes of modesty, hence, qualities of a modest person
How to cultivate humility:
Humility will allow you the growth you need to become a happier person in a world that is filled with highs and lows. However, one can cultivate it through the following ways:
Letting others speak when they want to.
Also, not prying unnecessarily.
Then, looking on the bright side; don’t always expect failure.
In addition, accepting being disappointed, it enhances your attitude.
Also, ignoring the negative actions of others; use it to develop your strength.
Then, not expecting everyone to like you. Everyone cannot like you.
Backing down from unnecessary fights. Not all fights are gainful.
Then, being polite always. ‘Thank you’ and ‘I am sorry’ are two positive weapons of humility.
Also, not being egotistic all the time. See others as a contributing factor to success and also complement others always.
Finally, not being too proud to accept your wrongs. Apologize for your mistakes.
7. Personality Traits in Attributes of Modesty
This attribute is defined as something about a person that impacts how they tend to think, feel, and behave on an ongoing basis. However, personality traits are characteristic of enduring behavioral and emotional patterns, rather than isolated occurrences.
modesty-is-beautiful - IslamFact
Furthermore, personality traits are complex. Research suggests that traits are shaped by both inheritance and environmental factors. However, these two forces interact in a wide variety of ways to form our individual personalities.
Good character traits that show modesty:
i. Integrity: an undivided or unbroken completeness with nothing wanting.
ii. Honesty: not disposed to cheat or defraud.
iii. Loyalty: steadfast in allegiance or duty.
iv. Respectfulness: a courteous expression.
v. Responsibility: the social force that binds to the courses of action demanded by that action. Thus, being accountable for the action.
vi. Compassion: a deep awareness of and sympathy for another person’s suffering.
vii. Fairness: conformity with rules and standards.
viii. Kindness: the quality of being warm-hearted, humane and considerate.
ix. Self-disciplined: the act of denying yourself; controlling your impulses.
8. Social Behavior
The modesty attribute of social behavior means respecting others and being well-mannered which is the reflection of civilized being. However, ‘normal behavior’ entails any behavior which conforms to social norms. The way an individual interacts, communicates, and responds to the environment in relation to survival and subjective intentions lead to social relationships. One should be conscious enough to respect every individual. Also, sense of equality and equity should be a norm among any group of people. So, interactions can be mutual, cooperative, and/or parental.
Furthermore, social behavior is also the tendency for humans to look to others for clues on how to act in a situation. For example, people tend to follow one another to find an exit in a situation of fire outbreak or any other emergency. Strangely, they do this even when they have knowledge of the layout of the building themselves.
Reading books about social skills and striving to practice good manners are important ways by which one can develop acceptable social behavior towards modesty.
Live a Modest Christian Life
Conclusion on Attributes of Modesty
This article shows what modesty is, but especially, the attributes of modesty. Usually, modesty is a typical complex issue and there are many ways to interpret it. However, a modest person is someone who listens, is empathic, doesn’t boast, and is not keen to be in the spotlight. The attributes of modesty which show in appearance, thought, and behavior is evidence that we understand the virtue. However, it blesses, protects, and empowers us in our preparation to return to God’s presence.
It is generally believed that greatness comes with kindness, humility brings compassion, and modesty brings balance. Modesty flows out of the virtues of temperance, chastity, and self-control. A modest person dresses, speaks, and acts in a manner that supports and encourages purity and chastity.
Finally, it is gainful to possess the attributes of modesty. When you are modest, you can avoid misfortune. Also, when you are respectful, others will love you. Similarly, when you are loyal, others will stay with you. Again, when you are trustworthy, others will rely on you. Modest relationships reflect the connection between moral and immoral behaviors, between decency and indecency.

WOMAN KILLS THREE CHILDREN
Tumblr media
South African Woman Kills 3 Daughters
Court charges Dr. Lauren Dickason, with killing her three daughters, days after moving to New Zealand for a new life. There is an allegation that Lauren Dickason, 40, a South African woman kills 3 daughters of hers. They were her twin girls Maya and Karla, two, and their older sister Liane, six. The tragedy took place at their home in Timaru, New Zealand on Thursday September 16, 2021. According to reports, she may have been under stress after quarantine moving from South Africa to New Zealand.

The neighbours of the couple, who want to remain anonymous, wonder if quarantining had affected Dickason’s mental health. According to netwerk24.com, the neighbours say that the couple had only recently moved to New Zealand from South Africa. Also, they absolutely adored those children and were so grateful for having them because it took them years to get. That when they finally got the children, they loved and cherished them. Days before the death of the children, the couple just came out from a 14-day stay in a quarantine hotel. Reports have it that Dickason previously shared a social media post in March 2021. In that post, the discussion was on the mental health of celebrities. You can read Providers for Healthy Living here.
She wrote: “Unfortunately we live in a world where if you break a bone everyone comes to sign the cast. But, if you tell people you’re depressed, they run the other way.”
Doctor Lauren Dickason made a post about her beautiful children on May 1 2021. It reads: “What an adventure. We have truly created a beautiful family and had many good times together. “May the next years be more blessed, happier and may the kids let us sleep.” From the reports, it is obvious that something doesn’t seem right.
Neighbours Speak on South African Woman Kills 3 Daughters
One of the neighbours says: “Something just doesn’t seem right to us. We don’t know what happened. There is not a lot of information, but they are kind people.”
Some say that something just doesn’t add up. They don’t know if it’s the stress from New Zealand or moving there. Being in quarantine for so long and everything – just not coping with that going on. “So, I think whatever happened is not normal, it wasn’t normal circumstances.”
One of another couple neighbour describes the event as ” feeling like my heart had dropped into my stomach.” However, this follows after learning of the events that had unfolded the night before. Jade and Rob Whaley describe hearing ‘distressed crying’ of the night in Timaru as homicides. Then, the couple told News they have “no inclination” of the incidence.
Other sources have it that three children, two-year-old twins and a six-year-old, were killed following an incident on Thursday night. They add that another person, possibly a woman, was in hospital but now in a stable condition. Also, that those involved had recently arrived from South Africa and had been out of managed isolation the past week. Further, emergency services were called to the property after a person arriving at the Queen Street address called police. Police say the investigation is still in its early stages and they’re working to notify the next of kin.
A former colleague and neighbour, Natasja le Roux also spoke to South Africa Sunday Times. She says the family arrived New Zealand from South Africa to work at a hospital in Timaru a week earlier. However, she cannot comprehend what happened because in her opinion, Lauren is a medical doctor and isn’t arrogant or the like. In other words, she is very humble.
Family Members React on South African Woman Kills 3 Daughters
The children’s grandparents in South Africa are struggling to come to terms with their deaths, reports news outlet Stuff. Those who knew the family in South Africa say Mrs. Dickason was the “nicest” person.
As police finished their scene examination of the house, they handed it back to the grieving father of the girls. Detective Inspector Scott Anderson says that the examination of the scene was completed on Saturday night. Then, Graham took back the possession of the property. Family’s ex-caregiver says “I am shattered and not coping with the news”. Also, family and friends in South Africa say they’re in shock over the death
Furthermore, the South African family completed two weeks in managed isolation before traveling to Timaru. Graham, an orthopedic surgeon, has a job offer with the South Canterbury District Health Board there. Following that, him and his wife arrived New Zealand previous month with their daughters Liané-6, and twins Maya and Karla-2. The three daughters lost their lives in a tragic manner which is still a mystery which no one can explain. Anna Leask, senior journalist, Crime and Justice says: “A relative of the bereaved will arrive in New Zealand to support him.”
Some Results From New Zealand Crime Investigations
The Herald contacts the body that runs managed isolation in the country. This is the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. However, it is to know how long Graham will have to wait to see his late daughters in person.
They say: “The investigation team gets really invested in finding the truth and obtaining supporting material as to what happened. And, it is only once the dust settles that we need to ensure the wrap-around is there and being effective.”
Anderson, the officer in charge of the triple homicide investigation, met the grieving father. He says the investigation into the alleged triple murder was far from over. Alongside gathering relevant information for the prosecution, the coroner may also open an inquiry.
Further, Anderson explains that once it goes from the front page of the paper there is huge amount of work. Also, this continues to go on as it moves through various prosecution phases. Initially, from Thursday night through to Monday they had approximately 30 officers on the investigation. However, as of Tuesday this was scaled back to a team of about 15. Nevertheless, any funeral details for the slain sisters are still pending. Meanwhile, the specific details of their deaths isn’t reported by the Herald. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, only a few people were present. They include Judge Dominic Dravitzki, duty defence lawyer Kelly Beazley, Crown prosecutor Andrew McCrae, Anderson, and Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quested. Then, members of the media.
Furthermore, Lauren Dickason said nothing when she appeared in court for the first time. However, she is now in a secure mental health unit. She would remain until the next court appearance on October 5 2021. These were reports from the New Zealand Herald.
A neighbour, Jade Whaley also spoke to 1 News. She says that she and her husband Rob had been watching television at home on the night of the incident. Then, she heard “a noise, like a sort of moan” at around 9.40pm and went outside to investigate.
According to her, it was more like a bit of a wail and a bit of a moan by someone. Then, there was the crying but it was later on; quite a cry of distress. Further, Jade said she then heard a bang which “sounded to me like someone kicking a car”. On the other hand, Rob says it’s like the “slamming of a door, something similar to that”.
Thereafter, the Whaley’s once again went to investigate before returning home after hearing silence. “We started hearing more of this moaning and to me, it sounded like someone being distressed and crying,” Jade said. “There was absolutely no yelling or screaming or any noises or anything like that apart from the wailing. Then, the crying got more intensified as time went on. Rob added: “I thought I heard, ‘What have I done?’ in amongst the wailing. The couple then saw a neighbour had returned home. Then, the neighbour was “speaking to a person from next door” and consoling him as the person called the police.
Officers arrived at the scene several minutes later. “There was a fella who was really distressed,” Rob said. “It pretty much unfolded from there. We never thought of murder last night but thought it was a domestic issue. Also, we witnessed a woman who was bent over and was being supported as she was taken in an ambulance. Then, a man was seen being taken away in a police car.”
Conclusion
The bereaved Dad cries out: ‘is this really happening?’ after finding bodies of his three daughters. A week after the murders, Graham Dickason said he forgives his wife. Graham feels she was also a victim in the tragedy. He says: “in particular, the team at the scene has a very difficult job to do. Many of the investigating police have children of their own which makes these sorts of inquiries challenging. Police have welfare support package for all staff that are investigating this homicide. Right from the first responders through the entire investigation team.”
Lauren Anne Dickason (pictured left, with her husband Graham) has been charged with the murder of their three children in New Zealand. Mr Dickason has returned to South Africa, where the family is from
In addition, the South Canterbury District Health Board is also giving him heaps of support. Reports have it that a family member was arriving into New Zealand to support him today. Also, people were spotted delivering flowers to the property, with a hearse in attendance. Going forward, let us watch and see how events unfold to reveal the mystery behind this story of “South African Woman Kills 3 Daughters”.

The children’s grandparents in South Africa are struggling to come to terms with their deaths, reports news outlet Stuff. Those who knew the family in South Africa say Mrs. Dickason was the “nicest” person.
As police finished their scene examination of the house, they handed it back to the grieving father of the girls. Detective Inspector Scott Anderson says that the examination of the scene was completed on Saturday night. Then, Graham took back the possession of the property. Family’s ex-caregiver says “I am shattered and not coping with the news”. Also, family and friends in South Africa say they’re in shock over the death
Furthermore, the South African family completed two weeks in managed isolation before traveling to Timaru. Graham, an orthopedic surgeon, has a job offer with the South Canterbury District Health Board there. Following that, him and his wife arrived New Zealand previous month with their daughters Liané-6, and twins Maya and Karla-2. The three daughters lost their lives in a tragic manner which is still a mystery which no one can explain. Anna Leask, senior journalist, Crime and Justice says: “A relative of the bereaved will arrive in New Zealand to support him.”
Some Results From New Zealand Crime Investigations
The Herald contacts the body that runs managed isolation in the country. This is the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. However, it is to know how long Graham will have to wait to see his late daughters in person.
They say: “The investigation team gets really invested in finding the truth and obtaining supporting material as to what happened. And, it is only once the dust settles that we need to ensure the wrap-around is there and being effective.”
Anderson, the officer in charge of the triple homicide investigation, met the grieving father. He says the investigation into the alleged triple murder was far from over. Alongside gathering relevant information for the prosecution, the coroner may also open an inquiry.
Further, Anderson explains that once it goes from the front page of the paper there is huge amount of work. Also, this continues to go on as it moves through various prosecution phases. Initially, from Thursday night through to Monday they had approximately 30 officers on the investigation. However, as of Tuesday this was scaled back to a team of about 15. Nevertheless, any funeral details for the slain sisters are still pending. Meanwhile, the specific details of their deaths isn’t reported by the Herald. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, only a few people were present. They include Judge Dominic Dravitzki, duty defence lawyer Kelly Beazley, Crown prosecutor Andrew McCrae, Anderson, and Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quested. Then, members of the media.
Furthermore, Lauren Dickason said nothing when she appeared in court for the first time. However, she is now in a secure mental health unit. She would remain until the next court appearance on October 5 2021. These were reports from the New Zealand Herald.
A neighbour, Jade Whaley also spoke to 1 News. She says that she and her husband Rob had been watching television at home on the night of the incident. Then, she heard “a noise, like a sort of moan” at around 9.40pm and went outside to investigate.
According to her, it was more like a bit of a wail and a bit of a moan by someone. Then, there was the crying but it was later on; quite a cry of distress. Further, Jade said she then heard a bang which “sounded to me like someone kicking a car”. On the other hand, Rob says it’s like the “slamming of a door, something similar to that”.
Thereafter, the Whaley’s once again went to investigate before returning home after hearing silence. “We started hearing more of this moaning and to me, it sounded like someone being distressed and crying,” Jade said. “There was absolutely no yelling or screaming or any noises or anything like that apart from the wailing. Then, the crying got more intensified as time went on. Rob added: “I thought I heard, ‘What have I done?’ in amongst the wailing. The couple then saw a neighbour had returned home. Then, the neighbour was “speaking to a person from next door” and consoling him as the person called the police.
Officers arrived at the scene several minutes later. “There was a fella who was really distressed,” Rob said. “It pretty much unfolded from there. We never thought of murder last night but thought it was a domestic issue. Also, we witnessed a woman who was bent over and was being supported as she was taken in an ambulance. Then, a man was seen being taken away in a police car.”
Conclusion
The bereaved Dad cries out: ‘is this really happening?’ after finding bodies of his three daughters. A week after the murders, Graham Dickason said he forgives his wife. Graham feels she was also a victim in the tragedy. He says: “in particular, the team at the scene has a very difficult job to do. Many of the investigating police have children of their own which makes these sorts of inquiries challenging. Police have welfare support package for all staff that are investigating this homicide. Right from the first responders through the entire investigation team.”
Lauren Anne Dickason (pictured left, with her husband Graham) has been charged with the murder of their three children in New Zealand. Mr Dickason has returned to South Africa, where the family is from
In addition, the South Canterbury District Health Board is also giving him heaps of support. Reports have it that a family member was arriving into New Zealand to support him today. Also, people were spotted delivering flowers to the property, with a hearse in attendance. Going forward, let us watch and see how events unfold to reveal the mystery behind this story of “South African Woman Kills 3 Daughters”.

IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Tumblr media
THE EXCELLENCE HUB FOR RIGHT LIVING/ LE CENTRE D'EXCELLENCE POUR UNE VIE MEILLEURE
Brief History on Importance of Exercise Physiology
The father of exercise physiology is August Krogh living from 1874 to 1949. He was amongst the most influential physiologists in the first part of the 20th century. Also, he was instrumental in defining comparative physiology, epithelial transport, and exercise physiology as independent disciplines. However, this article is only about the importance of exercise physiology.
For thousands of years, beginning with ancient cultures, exercise has been very important to human health. The Greek physician Hippocrates is one of the earliest and most well-known proponents of exercise. He recommended moderate exercise in order to stay healthy and even improve health. Other prominent ancient scholars throughout history include Plato, Aristotle, and the Roman physician Galen. Galen believes that exercise improves general health, metabolism, and muscle tone, and even leads to better bowel movements. Afterwards, the Persian physician whose name is Avicenna supports Galen in his medical textbook ‘Canon of Medicine’. Avicenna believes that exercise balances the four body humors. Nevertheless, it is equally recognizable that too much exercise may have negative effects on the body.

Exercise physiology is about improving performance, by knowing how the body functions during exercise. However, it entails using scientific principles to allow your body to train better, perform better, and recover quicker. From the beginning, exercise physiology has been an integrative science. However, in the last 40 years, the field of exercise physiology keeps advancing in remarkable ways, through technology and innovation.
Concept of The Importance of Exercise Physiology
The word exercise derives from the Latin word ‘exercitus’, which means “to drive forth.” However, exercise is the activity of exerting the muscles in various ways to keep fit. The word physiology derives from the words ‘physis’ which is “nature” and ‘logia’ which means “study”. However, physiology is the branch of biological sciences dealing with the functioning of organisms.
Put together, exercise physiology is the study of the body’s responses to physical activity. It falls under the umbrella of kinesiology, which is the scientific study of human movement. Kinesiology is the branch of exercise physiology that studies the mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. However, these medical professionals (kinesiologists) study the body’s responses to physical activity. These responses include changes in metabolism and in physiology of different areas of the body. Such areas include the heart, lungs, and muscles, and also structural changes in cells.
Basically, exercise physiology is simply an understanding of how the body responds to exercise. It examines how the body’s cells and organs, such as your cardiovascular, muscular, and respiratory systems, react when exposed to bouts of exercise. The study also checks how the body adapts to physical activity over time. However, exercise physiologists are the most noteworthy exercise experts. In Australia, they are notable in using instruction, lifestyle medication and explicit types of activity to restore and oversee intense wounds.
Furthermore, exercise physiology is the physiology of actual exercise. It is one of the unified well-being callings that include the investigation of the intense reactions and on-going transformations to work out. From the ancient times, exercise has been regarded very important to human health. When you exercise, you’re helping build a strong and healthy body that’ll be able to accomplish all you need it to do.
Goals of Exercise Physiology
There are two distinct goals of exercise physiology. One is the use of exercise to further understand how the body functions. The second one is the use of that knowledge to develop activities and programs that establish, maintain, and promote physical fitness.
With exercise physiology, one gains knowledge of how the body responds to short-term bouts of physical activity. However, how it adapts to repeated bouts of physical activity over time can have a profound impact on health. It can also help you reach a higher level of fitness and/or health in the long run.
For example, cardio or aerobic exercise can affect the mood. Immediately after a brisk, 30-minute walk, the body releases endorphins. These are natural pain-reducing substances that can give one a sense of well-being. However, knowing that walking has a positive effect on the mood tells one to add walking into the fitness program long-term. Also, it may help with health issues and can reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and tension.
Types of Exercise Physiology
There are two major types of exercise physiology which are sport exercise physiology and clinical exercise physiology.
Sport Exercise Physiology
This, as its name suggests, relates to athletes. Sport physiologists use knowledge of the body’s response to exercise in order to develop training regimens for athletes. Such regimens include fitness conditioning. This is the process of training to become more physically fit through periods of exercising certain muscles and resting.
Most notable in sport exercise physiology is the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. For example, during exercise an increase in sympathetic activity and a decrease in parasympathetic activity. However, these result in an increase in activity of the heart and an increase in blood pressure.
Increasingly, sport-medicine physicians and other practitioners are using the findings of exercise physiology to help athletes achieve peak performance. And even nonathletic achieve better health through exercise. Many areas of sports medicine practice exist, including exercise testing, safety, performance evaluation, correction of training problems, and prevention of problems. These problems which affect specific populations (e.g., older athletes, women, children), benefit from the application of exercise physiology theory and research.
Furthermore, there is continuous demand for athletes at all levels to be better, faster, and stronger. However, sports medicine practitioners and exercise physiologists increasingly work together to optimize sports and exercise performance while maintaining health and safety.
Clinical Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiology plays an important role in the practice of clinical sports medicine. Clinical exercise physiology is the use of physical activity for therapy, treatment, and prevention of chronic diseases.
Clinical Exercise Physiology, 4th Edition PDF by Jonathan K. Ehrman
One disease that can be aided by exercise is diabetes. Exercise uses the body’s glucose storage, so a diabetic may use exercise to help keep their blood sugar levels down.
Importance of Exercise Physiology
There are many reasons why working with an exercise physiologist (EP) will change your life. In other words, the importance of exercise physiology is not something to ignore. However, we shall explore eight of them in this article. Obviously, engaging in exercise physiology changes lives. Although many people understand the word physiology, it’s only a few that know of an exercise physiology/physiologist. Typically, it relates to people who have severe illness.
EPs are highly educated health professionals who use exercise as a treatment tool. However, exercise physiology is not only used to treat chronic disease and illness. It is also useful in planning and supervising programs for elite athletes, weekend athletes, and sedentary athletes. Exercise physiologists support people across a huge range of health and fitness needs. If you have not explored the option of having the attention/treatment of an EP, you may consider that after reading this article. It will greatly impact your life for good. The ten importance of exercise physiology include:
1. Education/Knowledge
You will discover parts of the body you never knew are there. You will also learn how to maximize them. Aiming towards eventual self-management, EPs teach you the skills to move efficiently and effectively.
However, exercise physiologists are not necessarily Personal Trainers. So, they will not get you out of bed for a 5am appointment and shout orders at you. In other words, you are the leader of each session. They are your guide and support team providing expert health advice. But ultimately, you make the final decision by implementing their recommendations.
2. Experience as An Importance of Exercise Physiology
Like any other allied health professional, exercise physiologists have a four-year Bachelor of Applied Science degree. Also, they undergo a number of internships before actual practice. This in essence and great importance provide a wealth of practical experience from which one can draw more in employing their services.
3. Hands-on Approach
Unlike other allied health professionals, exercise physiologists will teach you to manage your condition through exercise and other proactive management strategies. This gives you a greater sense of control over your body and a sense of accomplishment when you succeed. Also, it enhances self-esteem.
4. Evidence-based
The strategies of exercise physiologists are derived from rigorous scientific research. Normally, they do not follow fads or the new ‘in’ thing. They use proven scientific reasoning to justify their actions.
5. Sensible Exercise Prescription
Yes! You get prescription on exercise following an exercise physiology program much like your general physician prescribes medication. However, there are some side effects of exercise which are well known and documented, but they are very few rarely negative.
6. Medication Substitution as An Importance of Exercise Physiology
Exercise is important for many of the body systems. So, why not try exercise as a treatment modality before your medical condition requires medication? This is what exercise physiologists undergo training for.
7. Technique as An Importance of Exercise Physiology
Exercise can make or break an exerciser. However, good technique can optimize performance, minimize pain or injury, and help you become stronger and faster.
Many exercise techniques are steeped in historical prejudice but may have been proven as unsafe or inadvisable for some people. Nevertheless, don’t give yourself exercise routine. It is same things as self-medication. So, always make out time to see an exercise physiologist for an expert advice.
8. Healthy Medical Conditions
People living with medical conditions should consult an appropriately-trained professional who is knowledgeable about their condition. However, medical conditions are not just about things like Type II Diabetes. It includes other conditions such as pelvic floor issues, lower back pain, and injury recovery to name a few.
Usually, there are risks in returning to normal activities following illness or injury without first engaging in an appropriate rehabilitation regime. Therefore, visit an exercise physiologist today and enjoy more importance of exercise physiology. See also Importance of Rest After Surgery here.
Careers in Exercise Physiology
Over the past five years, there has been strong jobs growth in allied health professions. These include clinical exercise physiology and physiotherapy. However, many different careers in exercise physiology are available. Also, the number of jobs in the US is expected to increase as the population ages and obesity rates continue to rise.
Exercise Physiology: Nutrition, Energy, and Human Performance by William McArdle
Exercise physiologists may work in a variety of non-clinical or clinical settings. The non-clinical settings include fitness centers, community organizations, and corporate fitness facilities. Also, sports physiologists may work in private fitness facilities or even for professional sports organizations.
Furthermore, clinical physiologists may be employed by hospitals, community facilities, and nursing homes. However, many exercise physiologists enter careers in personal training, allowing them to work with clients one-on-one for an extended period of time. This helps clients to make progress with their exercise regimen. Also, they may work in laboratory settings in hospitals, medical schools, or industry.
With an exercise physiology degree, one may also pursue physiology research. However, a doctorate is needed to be the head of a physiology lab. Nevertheless, those with bachelor’s degrees can become research technicians. Also, those with master’s degrees may be able to progress to being research assistants or lab managers. In these positions, exercise physiologists perform research under the supervision of doctors and scientists.
Finally, Australian Jobs Outlook predicts very strong jobs growth in the next few years, with up to 25,000 job openings since 2020.
Conclusion
Generally, exercise physiology is sometimes regarded as being either non-clinical or clinical. However, “non-clinical” is very similar to sport physiology. The scope is wide enough to include healthy non-athletes who are looking to lose weight and/or gain fitness.
Finally, there is clearly a need for research and application of holistic, physiological studies. However, this can place “basic” studies in the context of the entire organism and how it moves in its environment. The future is bright, and the opportunities are immense for exercise physiologists in the next 40 years. So, be part of it and enjoy the amazing benefits that arise from exercise physiology.

HEALTHY CELLS, HEALTHY LIFE
Introduction:
Tumblr media
Growing up as a young girl whose mother was a Public Health Nurse, I would always hear things like: “avoid fried foods,” “eat more of beans than rice” (which made me develop special liking for beans and other grains) and “vegetables and fruits are good for the body” but I could not really understand how. At school we were taught the different classes of food and the various nutrients each of them supplies to the body. I cannot remember us learning which ones to eat more or which ones to eat less and why. Also, I did not know what it means to keep healthy cells.
Years later I married and got pregnant but unfortunately, I lost it at twenty weeks. Painful experience! This ugly incident I could say frightened us (my husband and I) and made us never wish to go through that again.
Years passed and we were not perturbed whether another pregnancy was coming or not. However, Africa being what it is with emphasis on procreation and especially my tribe (Igbo), we started seeing the need to ‘try’ again. In the midst of that anxiety to conceive and give birth, which is a gift from God, the pregnancy appeared to be far-fetched.
The Encounter
In January 2000 there was a trade fair in the Limbe (formerly called Victoria City) of Cameroon. An elderly friend of ours told us about a participant that used nutrition to correct health challenges for ‘patients’, since she believed that I had fertility issues. On hearing ‘nutrition’ we got curious and interested. We chose a date to go see the lady and she gave us an appointment at her clinic. The distance is about six-hour drive from the city of Douala where we were residing. There was no possibility of air travel between the two towns at the time. She recommended a special type of detoxification which takes seven days and I got admitted into the clinic for the exercise. It was a good experience, even though it involved a lot of “food discipline”.
The Discovery
I did not complain since naturally I do not like to eat much. On the eight day I was served a chicken meal for which I did not have any appetite, being the first solid food since I moved in there. After the meal I traveled back home. Even though I was not fat, I lost much weight and the interesting thing is that I never conceived that year and the following two years. Nevertheless, we picked keen interest in the dietary guidelines because I was feeling very good with and about myself. In addition, there were counseling sessions and health and nutrition pamphlets to read. It was an eye-opener on the nutritional value of the things that we were eating and till date we have never joked with healthy eating!
We came to understand the saying that “we eat to live” and not the other way round and also, I recalled and began to appreciate all the little pieces of advice I got from my mother.
Keeping Healthy Cells
Your health is just about “You” and no other person. As life basically begins in the cells which form the foundation of the entire body system, keeping healthy cells becomes inevitable. It is God’s plan for us to nourish our cells and remain healthy. That is the reason why He put the first man that he created in the garden of Eden, so as to eat fresh and dwell in good health. According to Genesis 1:29, God created for us seed-bearing plants and trees that have fruit with seed in them for us to eat.
Again, let us see what God says in Ezekiel 47:12 about the seed-bearing plants (herbs in some versions), and fruit trees. He says: “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” (New International Version). Therefore, I urge you to read this piece with keen attention. The sections of this paper include introduction after which we see the cells and the human body. After that, the next is the trending habits and the red lights, the way out, the benefits of keeping healthy cells. Finally, we have the conclusion.
The Cells and The Human Body
As the smallest unit of the human body, every single cell plays a vital role in keeping the human body healthy and alive. They combine to form the tissues which make up the organs of each body system. The condition of one cell affects that of the other cells and the condition of the cells put together has a positive correlation with the health of the entire human body. We are grateful to God for these things that help give us life.
Figure 1: Healthy Cell and Unhealthy Cell
According to Kellyann (2015), spring accelerates cellular growth. When cells multiply and divide, they duplicate their present condition. When mutated cells divide, they recreate their chaos and continue to do so. In other words, we cannot create healthy cells if our surroundings are not free from pollution. A body full of toxic wastes provides a perfect home for destructive microbes. When they take over, microbes create mutations inside our cells. Viruses, fungi, and bad microbes love toxic waste and so, they survive and thrive very well on it.
Healthy Cells and Unhealthy Cells
Looking at figure 1, we see the difference between a healthy cell and an unhealthy cell. The cell has a covering known as the cell membrane, through which nutrients from our diet enter the cell and waste products not useful to the body leave the cell. When a cell is healthy, the cell membrane is permeable, allowing easy passage of both the nutrients and waste materials. See also 5 Health Benefits of Fruit Fasting. On the contrary, it is not same when the cell is unhealthy. This implies that with unhealthy cells, nutrients will find it difficult to penetrate the cells, inhibiting the body from getting enough of the nutrients from the food we eat. In the same way, waste products will not be able to have free flow out of the cell. This with time becomes toxic to the body.
