WOMEN ALSO ABUSE OTHER WOMEN AND MEN IN GBV

HON. MURAMBIWA: Mr Speaker Sir. I rise to support motion on domestic violence that was moved by Hon. Bhuda-Masara. Domestic violence is occurring in different places.There are occasions when we see men abusing women& also vise versa

HON. MURAMBIWA: There is the violence of women against women. For example, we have witnessed that in the families if a child has failed at school, the husband tells the wife that your child has failed at school. @WiPSUZim @wlsazim @lilomatic @advocatemahere @GMCZimbabwe

HON. MURAMBIWA: If the child is not properly married, the father accuses the mother of failing to look after the child properly and give the blame on the mother forgetting that parenting is a dual process.

HON. MURAMBIWA: Both parents have a equal obligation to the upbringing of the child. In the end, this will hurt the woman. Men should introspect and ensure that they do not abuse women in such a way.

HON. MURAMBIWA: If there is a problem in the family, the husband and the wife should put their heads together to come up with a better solution so that the family can live peacefully and in harmony.

What are dividend yield funds?

A thread 🧵👇

Bonus: Comments on HDFC Dividend Yield Fund (NFO)

1/ NFO: New Fund Offer is like an IPO of Mutual Fund Scheme. The scheme issues units to its subscribers at Face Value which is usually Rs. 10 per unit.

2/ The dividend yield is a financial metric that shows the amount paid by a company to its shareholders as a percentage of its stock price. Eg: A dividend of Rs. 10 on a stock of Rs. 200 would indicate a dividend yield of 5%.

3/ A dividend yield fund is a scheme that invests predominantly in companies having a track record of high dividend payouts along with occasional buybacks in order to return money to its shareholders.

4/ The fund bets on companies with stable cash flows along with predictable earnings. These are mature companies growing at a normal pace with lesser opportunities to reinvest their profits at a higher rate of return and hence chose to pay hefty dividends or consider buybacks.

What is the calculation of the super-rich Nigerian and why don't they run to the hills whenever there is an economic crisis?

I think because each crisis presents new opportunities with loopholes to gain advantage. I’ve once said that Nigeria is the world’s opportunity capital.

What Nigeria produces in abundance is opportunists. We don't do capitalism or socialism in Nigeria, we do opportunism.

Opportunism doesn't think long term about anything. It takes lemons and makes lemonade, then tries to create a lemonade monopoly to have outsize sales margins.

This is why we import when things are scarce. We trade when we are broke. Importation and trade are very short-term value creation processes without long-term upside. It is why our wealthy people are ”low-quality” according to @DoubleEph 😂

There is generally no production depth

Our banking system is also complicit in supporting this charade. It is why most of the nonperforming loans have been made to these same opportunists masquerading as the ”super-rich”. I missed the opportunity to add quotes in my first tweet. Their so-called wealth is qualified.

Something is fundamentally wrong when an economy is almost completely transactional. Yes, I have made money from fintech but I also see the long term damage of the current fintech hype. Nigeria as a country has been in one long hype cycle. This is why I keep saying it isn't real.

So, a little story about conspiracies, conspiracists and America. I'm typing this as I go, so no idea how long this thread is going to be. Just over a decade ago, me and the family went on holiday - to a ranch in Texas.

It my son's choice - he was going through a Westerns phase, thought he was too old to be going on holiday with us, so we let him choose the destination, and just went with it.

The ranch was a lovely old place, run by a guy in his sixties or seventies, though most of the actual running was done by a fantastic Mexican couple who lived there.

The old guy was very Texan - beautiful manners, larger than life, full of stories. The other memory I have is that there were guns *everywhere*. In just about every room.

He spent his evenings online, but not in the way you'd expect these days. He spent his time on networked multiplayer war games, fighting imaginary enemies while talking to his fellow players.

OUR HUSBANDS TAKE OUR CARS, SALARIES AND SPEND IT WITH GIRLFRIENDS: HON NHARI

HON. VAIRET NHARI: Thank you Mr Speaker, I want to add a few words on the issue of violence even members of Parliament we suffer from domestic violence. @GMCZimbabwe @wlsazim @womensvoicezw @MAZ_Zim

HON. NHARI: If I am given a motor vehicle, and take it to the constituency, the husband will deny me the use of that vehicle saying he is the one who permitted me to go to Parliament.

HON. NHARI: So, you must not use the car and female Members of Parliament will end up using public transport to conduct Parliament business. The husbands take our salaries and spend it on beer and girlfriends.

HON. NHARI: That is abuse and children that grow up in such families go into early marriages because of stress. The fight between the mother and father makes children sad and some will turn to drug abuse as well as prostitution.

HON. NHARI: Members of Parliament let us teach our people that they are some lawyers that offer services for free such as @ZimWomenLawyers and MUSASA. They can assist you if you are involved in domestic violence.

Every time you meet someone above you, you have a chance to move up.

It’s a rare golden opportunity to encounter those at the top.

Here's how you attract a founder, investor or an executive (FIEs) as your mentor.

Thread.

You NEVER know who the person you’ve encountered really is. You don’t know what he knows, what he is capable of, who he knows, who his connections are.

Assume they are the 1%.

Founders/Investors/Executives (FIEs) look for specific qualities before deciding to invest in someone.

You need to know WHY you want to be a mentee under FIEs.

You need EVERYTHING mapped out & prepped.

If it’s for an idea: know your strategy, distribution channel, market, competitors, biz plan etc.

If it’s a job seek: know your aim, your plan & career objective etc.

Then you need a 2 step approach.

1. Provide value that makes you worthy enough to be mentored.

2. Receive value in exchange, that will help progress whatever it was that made you sought out a mentor in the first place.

If you do this, ascension is inevitable.

FIEs read body language.

They can instantly tell whether you’ve got it or not.

Focus on 3 things:

-Chest out
-Eye contact
-Speak slowly

Nod. Accommodate your words with hand gestures. And don’t interrupt.

Ever.

If you do, apologise & let them speak.

Because energy can not be created nor destroyed, we will always have whatever energy came with our charts.

BUT, when said energy is giving us trouble, what we can do is REDIRECT it.

Let me show you

Astrologer Nikola Stajonvic had a client who was always arguing with her husband. She needed a way to redirect that energy.

Nikola told her to plant roses infront of her home, and it would lessen the arguments between them.

She did it, and months later after the roses had grown and she had seen positive results, she called him to let him know.

But HOW did he know? What even is this?

She had Venus conj. Mars in the 4th.

Venus = spouse/marriage
Mars = arguments
Conjunctions = a blending = her marriage naturally comes with an argumentative quality embedded into it.

How did planting roses redirect this energy?

Venus = flowers
Mars = defense (and the color red!)

So, a flower that defends itself (Mars = sharp points so that counts)

Any red (Mars) flower could’ve been used, but the more specific the better.

4H = home, so they were planeted infront it her house

Mini-#Thread on the austere lifestyle & spiritual capabilities of Wise Brahmins of India as recorded by Apollonius of Tyana (15-100 CE), the legendary Greek philosopher & famous anti-Christ whose works have reached us thru Romans like Philostratus & his Greek disciple like Damis.

As per Apollonius, based on his visits to India in beginning of CE, 👇#Hindu #sanatandharma #brahmin #brahman #sage #Dharma #History

“The Wise Men’s (Brahmins) nature and their way of life on the hill are described by Apollonius himself, since in one of his addresses to the Egyptians he says, ‘I saw the Indian Brahmans living on the earth and not on it...

Waist Trainers are useless.
It’s a scam, a fraud and a deceit.

They use ladies who already have slim waists and flat tummies to advertise it.

If you wear it for “fashion”, that’s ok.
If you wear it for flat tummy, you are fooling yourself and wasting your money.

Happy weekend.

Waist trainers can harm you
Waist trainers can harm you.

Can cause skin irritation,
Can cause organ damage,
Can worsen heartburn,
Can cause breathing problems,
Cannot cause weight loss,
Cannot give flat tummy,

Sorry to break your heart
But actually, waist trainers can harm you.

Waist trainers cannot give you any curves that you never had naturally.

If you have the curve already,
A waist trainer may help it show.
If you never had any curves,
A waist trainer can never give you one.

If the hourglass was never there,
A waist trainer won’t give you one.

Waist trainers can’t cause flat tummy.
And it surely canNOT give you “curves”.

You take soft drinks, eat junk food, and swallow Eba at 2am like a hired killer;

If you like wear waist trainer,
Once you remove it, your tummy will fall down on your thighs like the wall of Jericho.

What a waist trainer does is to give you an ILLUSION of a flat tummy or a curvy appearance.But it is a temporary illusion.

A waist trainer NEVER changes your body on the long term, never gives you a flat tummy and it can NEVER make you curvy. Except you already had it naturally.

Lots of talk over the past year about repealing Section 230. I though that it might be helpful to have a thread about what might happen if Congress entirely scraps 230.

We don't know for sure, because 230 has been on the books since 1996. Very few court opinions have examined platforms' liability for 3d-party content in a world without 230. So we have to look at pre-Internet cases involving bookstores and other distributors of content

and examine the protections for these distributors under the common law and 1st Amendment. The bottom line is that without 230, the platforms at minimum would face substantial litigation risks for 3d-party content.

For instance, under the common law, defamation plaintiffs can only succeed in suits against distributors such as bookstores if they can prove that the bookstore knew or had reason to know of the defamatory content.

Under this standard, there is a strong argument that a platform knows of allegedly defamatory content if it gets a complaint, and that the "reason to know" provision even exposes platforms to liability if they are aware of the defamatory character of some posts.

A brief overview of the history of personality disorders - a thread. 1/23

The history of personality disorders can be traced to 400BC, when Hippocrates described four personality patterns. These were choleric (irritable), melancholic (sad), sanguine (optimistic) and phlegmatic (apathetic). He believed these patterns were based on the four humors. 2/23

The four humors were black bile, yellow bile, blood and phlegm. Hippocrates believed that a person's personality pattern depending on the level of each of these humors. 3/23

Theories of disordered personality can also be traced back to ancient Chinese and Greek philosophy. Theophrastus (c 371 - c 287 BC) described 30 character types. For example, 'The Suspicious Man' has obvious links with today's paranoid personality disorder. 4/23

The category "Manie sans delire" (meaning mania without delusion) coined by Pinel in the 18th century appears to describe for the first time what is now known as a PD. He described a set of patients who he thought to behave irrationally despite being in touch with reality. 5/23

Finished Psychology of Money by @morganhousel

Just phenomenal. Here’s some favorite highlights

It’s a soft skill, where how you behave is more important than what you know.

To grasp why people bury themselves in debt you don’t need to study interest rates; you need to study the history of greed, insecurity, and optimism.

To get why investors sell out at the bottom of a bear market you don’t need to study the math of expected future returns; you need to think about the agony of looking at your family and wondering if your investments are imperiling their future.

I love Voltaire’s observation that “History never repeats itself; man always does.” It applies so well to how we behave with money.

Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works.

The challenge for us is that no amount of studying or open-mindedness can genuinely recreate the power of fear and uncertainty.

@SW6life 3) these values are contradictory to what the rights stand, especially the republican party under trump, from here on now refered to as "Trumpists" - a new, US brand of Fascism.

4) Here is the lists of traits that make out fascist regimes commonly agreed, written by Umberto Eco, who lived under Mussolini. He explicitly stated that each country is prone to their own type of Fascism, let me go through this point by point.

The first two are actually the same; Irrationalism & Tradition over everything. You hold up a poster of what your country/ideal living once was and claim to bring it back.
Say; Make america great again. Ignoring hereby that Obama restored the economy which was hurt by Bush

Cult of Action; Killing a General on an Ally soil without informing anyone? Sueing even though there is no evidence.. and yeah, proud stance on anti-intellectualism!

Disagreement is treason; that is why every time the media fact checks something, its somehow misrepresenting him.
Which is why everbody who disagrees is a bad person inherently, without giving arguments *WHY*
