SELF-INJURY

Self-injury is when you hurt yourself as a way of dealing with very difficult feelings, overwhelming situations, past experiences. It is when somebody intentionally damages or injures their body. It is usually a way of coping with or expressing overwhelming emotional distress.

However, the intention is to punish themselves, express their distress or relieve unbearable tension. It is a mixture of all in some cases. Many who injure themselves use it as a measure to cry for help.

The act looks much like suicidal, therefore it becomes very confusing and frightening for people who witnessed it but doesn't understand self-injury to figure it out.

Self injury involves the following behaviors

Burning oneself
Cutting the skin
Jumping from high-rise
Drug overdose
Punching oneself with objects

The causes of Self-Injury include

Financial worries
Sexual abuse
Physical abuse
Mental Health Problems
Relationship breakup
Depression
Recurring issues
Pressures

However self-injury is bad but some individuals can't cope with certain emotional problems, they rather settle for a self inflicted injury on themselves as a means of transforming emotional pains into physical pains.

Advertisement has Concepts

Just wondering at the crass stupidity exhibited by the Vitamilk advert where a lady wax trapped in an accidented car, and a "superman" comes over, riding a bike and physically removes the door.

My thought

First, is the lady so stupid that she didn't realize that she could break the glass and get out?

Second, did the super-hero have to risk the vehicle going up in flames by doing a trial of strength, when he could have broken the glass and pulled her to safety?

Advertisements are used to grow your brand and stand out of the crowd.
To having an effective advertisement CREATIVITY is critical

The use of creativity to display an art which posses greater meaning than the capabilities of a product is absolutely wrong.
Knowing how to use creativity to deliver powerful messages is the key.

Think about advertising concepts and not JOKES.

Hillary Clinton wishes to amend the Affordable Care Act

“I want to build on and make improvements in the Affordable Care Act, and I will stand against any Republican effort to repeal because you know what the alternative is?
We’ll go back to the insurance companies making all the decisions.
If you’ve got a preexisting condition, you’ll be lucky if you can afford health insurance.
If you’re a woman, you’re going to pay more, because that’s what used to happen before we had the Affordable Care Act.
If you’re a young person up to the age of 26, you’re out of luck; you can’t be on your parents’ plan anymore.” — Hillary in South Carolina.

She concluded that the insurance policy wasn't a fair one; especially when the cases mentioned above is put into consideration. The government had to prescribe health insurance due to the fact that funding the health sector has an adverse effect on the country. In the other way round it has made it almost impossible for poor individuals that cannot afford health insurance to settle for self medications. It has helped in many ways especially through the Pay for Performance scheme.
Let's hope Hilary brings about a change that won't be a burden to the government, hospitals and patients.

Happy World Toilet Day

It is WTD

The spread of many transmitted diseases such as diarrhoea can be connected to a condition called environmental enteropathy which is caused by exposure to human feces.

Poor sanitation hygiene is dangerous to health. Hand washing basins must be provided to promote hand washing behaviors.

Having to defecate in the open infringes on human safety and dignity. Females find it difficult to use public toilets to avoid cases of rape in unsafe places where public toilets are located.

Having to hold urine in the bladder for many hours is dangerous to internal organs.

Today is WORLD TOILET DAY. Let's promote the creation of more toilets and ensure they are made clean and in secure places. Together we shall ensure our environment is clean and healthy also together we shall battle diseases that can be prevented instead of having to cure them when they sprout out.

Various forms of sexy toilets have emerged lately, I'm sure men won't find it irritating to hug big booties while they urinate but women might find it crazy sitting on a guy's lap while observing urination especially if was an animated one. 😄

Happy (WTD) World Toilet Day.
