ROSIE
I see.
BEN
I keep saying to myself, this lady, like everyone else deserves the leadership of her own life. So, why not just leave her alone and believe that she knows exactly what she is doing?
ROSIE
Tell you, what, you are a great little
brother, Ben. You may be fifteen, but you certainly do have an old head on
young shoulders. I really do wish everyone concerned could share your view.
(gives him a peck) Food, drink, or both?

Relaxation is therapeutic to the human psychic and wellbeing. Irrespective of gender, religion or career the human body on the regular requires appropriate attention to function optimally at all times. So, what you do in your free time is and should be essential to your health and psychic.
According to a publication by Every Day Health, there is a need to clear up one common misconception from the get-go: Self-care is not synonymous with self-indulgence or being selfish. Self-care means taking care of yourself so that you can be healthy, you can be well, you can do your job, you can help and care for others, and you can do all the things you need to and want to accomplish in a day.
Although there are several ways one can spend a leisure time, here are some recommendations for you to embrace and perhaps, flaunt around in its benefits.
According to an article by Josephine Agbonkhese published in allure.vanguardngr.com, “While your looks may be enhanced by the myriad of beauty products in your arsenal, you most likely cannot truly maintain a sense of wellness and true beauty if nurturing your mind, body, and soul do not become part of your daily life.

It is rarely a crime of passion, and is rather an aggressive act that frequently aims to express power and dominance over the victim.
Abuja Digest, in its recent publication with the headline 'Time to expedite action against sexual violence' indirectly portrays sexual violence as a crime one too many desirable of immediate attention by individuals, families, government, and the society at large “The Nigerian media in recent times is flooded with disheartening stories of rape and other various forms of sexual abuse against women and girls with defenseless minors including boys constituting the major victims; fathers raping their own daughters, Lecturers harassing female students, young men gang-raping teenage girls, minors sexually abused by older men, armed robbers gang raping innocent women during robbery attacks.

Retirement is the withdrawal from one's position or occupation or from one's active working life. A person may also semi-retire by reducing work hours or workload.
Now that you have an idea of what this write-up is about, check this out: A couple seeks answers for a retirement plan by writing to Quentin Fottrell, a MarketWatch's Managing Editor-Personal Finance and The Moneyist columnist.
‘We live a rather lavish lifestyle: My wife and I are 33, live in New York City, and earn $270,000. Can we retire at 55? We travel a lot, eat at nice restaurants and essentially buy what we want’
Dear Quentin,
My wife
and I, both 33, are lucky enough to have high-paying jobs in New York
City.
Collectively, we make $270,000 a year. We own a home in Seattle, worth $500,000, that is rented out and covers the mortgage and cash flow. We have zero debt outside of our mortgage. We have an emergency fund of $45,000. We rent our house in Brooklyn. Collectively, we max out our 401(k)s, and I receive a pension of $8,500 a year, so we’re saving approximately $53,000 a year toward retirement.
We have about $75,000 in our retirement accounts from our work in Seattle. We have no kids and likely don’t plan on having any. We’d like to retire at 50 to 55. My question is: Are we saving enough? We live a rather lavish lifestyle. We travel a lot, eat at nice restaurants and essentially buy what we want. I justify it because we’re saving $50,000-plus a year toward retirement and have zero bad debt.

| Banana Smoothie |
New research now reveals why you shouldn’t add a banana to your smoothies. Disappointed? Please, don’t be.
A smoothie is a beverage made by puréeing ingredients in a blender, according to Wikipedia. A smoothie commonly has a liquid base, such as fruit juice or milk, yogurt, or ice cream. Other ingredients may be added, including fruits, vegetables, non-dairy milk, crushed ice, whey powder, or nutritional supplements.
On the other hand, a banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe.

FLAUNT YOUR LEISURE
Leisure is highly therapeutic to the human psychic and well-being. Aside from many not creating personal schedules or moments for relaxation, some persons have been saddled with leisure as a necessary routine for mankind. Yet we have some others who are living in ignorance about the essence and various ways of self-relaxation.

ROSIE
Mother, please let’s drop this subject. Please …
MOTHER
Drop this subject, you say? Listen, Rosie, it surprises me that you still don’t realize how much pain your attitude is inflicting on your father and I. What is it with you? Your father disowned you hoping that would make you change your mind about Thomas Thomas. But ‘to hell with a father’ you said. And the poor man came back confused and apologetic. Now look at yourself – God! You’re growing fast overdue for marriage, Rosie. People bother me each passing day … such an embarrassment, I never could have the guts to tell any of them that Rosaline, my only daughter is engaged to a drunkard … “drop the subject”, you still say?
