Competition.

Hello everyone. How has your day been? Today we'll look at something we find very common among us as human beings. Competition is defined by the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary to mean; 1. A situation where people try to be more successful or better than someone else. 2.  An event where people compete with each other to find out the best at something. 3. The people who are competing against someone or whom someone is competing against. Our focus today is majorly on the first and perhaps the third definition.

When you see people set great records, do extraordinary things and you pick positive challenges from that and try to do your best as well to create a positive mark then you can be said to be in HEALTHY COMPETITION.

Molar Pregnancy: How much do you know?

Types of Molar Pregnancy. 1. Complete Molar Pregnancy: - An egg with no genetic information  fertilized by a sperm. - The product of such fertilization grows into a lump of tissue in the uterine cavity. - As the tissue grows it assumes a 'grape cluster-like' appearance. - It grows till it fills the whole of the uterine cavity. 2. Partial Molar Pregnancy. - An egg is fertilized by two sperms or by a sperm that divides and gives 46 chromosome instead of the normal 23 and the fetus

Make the Days Count.

  Hi friends, Looking back at the year in retrospect I believe everyone one of us will remember one or two persons they know that has passed on to the other side, by that I mean we know people who died this year. One of the reasons we keep hearing great people tell us to live meaningful lives is because our existence here is only for a while. It doesn't matter how old you become, someday you'll leave this phase of life and will become part of the long history of humanity. The question is how would you like to be remembered? What you like your unborn generation after you say when they hear of what you did while you were here? These are questions we will need to ponder on as we go about our daily activities. And just so we know, it's the day to day choices we make that span out as our life story in the long run. That cheer or pain you caused daily, that employee who's wages you denied or delayed unnecessarily, that person in need whom you could help bu
