NEWSRussia-Ukraine war: I am grateful to those risking their lives

-

The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said that he was grateful to those risking their lives to reveal to the world what is happening in Ukraine, amid the Russian attack on Ukraine on multiple fronts.

Blinken disclosed this in a tweet via his Twitter handle while reacting to the death of Fox News Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova.

Recall that Zakrzewski, a video journalist for Fox News, was killed in Ukraine when the vehicle he was traveling in outside of Kyiv with another reporter was struck by incoming fire, the network said.

“Very saddened to hear that @FoxNews cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova were killed covering Russia’s war against Ukraine. My deepest condolences and wishes for a speedy recovery to our @StateDept correspondent who was injured in the attack.

“I am grateful to all those risking their lives to show the world what is happening in Ukraine. The United States condemns Russia’s ongoing violence, which is putting the safety of journalists and other media workers in Ukraine at risk,” Blinken wrote on Twitter.

On Monday, Blinken condemned Russia’s attack near Ukraine‘s border with Poland.

Hang Nails

What is a hangnail? Even though it’s called a hangnail, that little piece of skin isn’t part of the nail. Instead, it’s a torn piece of skin that hangs loose next to your nails. And it’s rare to have hangnails on your toes, though, it does happen from time to time. “A hangnail is really short,” says Dr. Vyas. “It’s kind of stiff and it arises from the side of your nail bed.” Hangnails can be caused by dry air, using alcohol-based  hand sanitizers  (which we still need to use!) and constant hand washing (which we also still need to do!). Those with a habit of picking or biting around their nails are likely to get hangnails. Swimming in a chlorinated pool can also cause your skin to dry out and lead to hangnails. If you enjoy a manicure every now and then, make sure you’re not cutting your cuticles but pushing them back instead. Cutting your cuticles can lead to hangnails and infections. How to remove a hangnail Follow these steps to safely remove a hangnail. ...

A Preacher Once Said That Masturbation Is Not A Sin Because It Is Not Done Inside The Body - Adeboye

-
Image
Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God spoke to his members about the danger of masturbation and how one can be free from it. According to NDEPO TV, he said he once heard a preacher say masturbation is not a sin because it is not committed in the body but outside the body. He said he was shocked because this is a clear deviation from the truth of God's word. Indeed, the word masturbation is not in the Bible but it clearly states that lust is a sin. According to him, Masturbation violates God's standard of sexuality and promotes iniquity. Sin is sin, no matter how the world paints it. Let no one deceive you and destroy your life, masturbation is rooted in the lust of the flesh which can come through impure thoughts from obscene pictures, movies, social media, and pornography. He said that it thrives in secrecy and is very addictive. He then read the book of Mark 4:22 which says, "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifes...

Apostle Edu Udechukwu, the overseer and lead pastor of the Revival Hub International spoke to his members about the efficacy and efficiency of the power of God. He said that the ultimate purpose captured in the heart of God is that Christ should be formed in you. The formation of Chris is not possible until the day of power appears. The character of God is not possible in a man until the power comes so it is impossible to leave a character without power.  He said that it is the power that has the ability to conform u to the image of God. The soul of man is very rebellious and there is no discipline. He said that there is no work of man and no discipline that has the capacity to cause him to conform, it will only take the energy coming from Christ. "Have you not found yourself when you want to stop sin and you cannot?" he asked. You listen to the best preaching on holiness and you come and cry for forgiveness but you find yourself doing the same thing you cried about. It is th...

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Britain's richest man, makes an offer to buy Chelsea for £4 billion

-
Image
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of petrochemical behemoth Ineos, has launched a spectacular last-minute bid for Chelsea. Ratcliffe, one of Britain's wealthiest men, has previously been linked with a takeover of Chelsea, but a spokeswoman for the club recently denied suggestions that he could succeed Roman Abramovich. Following the sanctioning of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the race to buy the club was reduced to three contenders, with consortiums led by former Liverpool chairman Sir Michael Broughton, LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, and Steve Pagliuca, who co-owns the Boston Celtics, remaining in the running after a fourth prospective owner, the Ricketts family, pulled out. After meeting with Blues chairman Bruce Buck yesterday, Ratcliffe, 69, revealed to The Times that he had submitted a late offer for more over £4 billion to US merchant bank Raine Group, which is supervising the sale, on Friday morning. "Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS, has submitted a formal ...
