Season of holiday: Why should all of us get trapped?

No doubt, this is a period of holidaying when people and families embark on lot of travels for Christmas and the New Year celebrations.
Agreed! It gives a lot of joy to join families and relatives this time in the year for these celebrations, but, should all of us get trapped because we want to celebrate?
Have you considered the financial pressure this time because people want to travel, not only that the cost of transport particularly travelling to the East is beginning to go up, most major transporters have run short of seats.
“Our vehicle has been fully booked up to December 29, a ticketing officer told a desperate passenger who want to buy ticket .”
May be, many have forgotten in a haste what happened on January I 2012 when some people who travelled to far distances for Christmas got stranded in the New Year following the increase in the pump price of crude oil, leading to scarcity, hike in transport and nationwide strike.
As a result of this, many eat deeply into their savings or encountered huge debts to return to their base and also to survive in January. That period was challenging for many individual and homes.
Now that it’s clearer about what could happen to our finances now and in the wake of the New Year, should we not take precaution on spending as a result of holidays and travelling?
A traveler who had bought six seats for his family from one of the transport companies said “we are travelling to Owerri to celebrate the Christmas and to attend to important family functions”
According to him, a major reason for the travel was to mark the marriage golden jubilee anniversary of their parents, and that is why I am taking my whole family, the traveler said.
For me, I don’t think I can spend my Christmas and New Year outside my ancestral home, so, I make sure I travel for the season no matter the cost, another traveler said.
This reason will be the response of many Easterners who generally travel home during Christmas and New Year, having become part of them to use the period for family and village meetings; traditional and white weddings; masquerade dance, launching and fund raising for community development as well as chieftaincy conferment among other programmes.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say.
