WHO public consultation on draft Target Product Profiles for Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major yet preventable global health problem, with an estimated 10 million new cases worldwide in 2018, resulting in more than 1.5 million deaths, making it the leading infectious disease cause of death worldwide. An estimated one fourth of the world’s population is infected with the TB bacterium, of whom 5–10% advance to active TB disease in their lifetime.

Prevention of TB is a crucial component of the World Health Organization (WHO) End TB Strategy that calls for 90% coverage of TB preventive treatment (TPT) among persons living with HIV (PLHIV) and household contacts of infectious TB cases by 2035. The UN high-level meeting on TB, in September 2018, further emphasized the need to strengthen implementation of TPT and called for 30 million people, including 4 million children under 5 years of age to receive TPT by 2022.

However, uptake and scale-up of TPT have been slow, mainly due to the limitations of both diagnostic assays and available regimens (long duration, cost, toxicity, adherence issues, and operational aspects), indicating the need for new short, safe, efficacious and easy-to-take regimens for the treatment of TB infection and prevention of TB disease. The WHO has developed draft Target Product Profiles (TPPs) for TPT to align developers’ performance and operational targets for new TPT regimens with the needs of end-users.

The draft TPPs are now available online for comment.

WHO invites comments or feedback from all stakeholders by 27 April 2020 via this link:

Based on the comments received on this draft, WHO will prepare the final non-draft TPP (version 1.0), which will be posted on WHO’s website and uploaded into the (WHO) Product Profile Directory by October 2020.

Buhari: An Illiterate Jubril? By Ozodinukwe Okenwa

SOC Okenwa

SOC Okenwa

“President Buhari is an illiterate, he does not know what restructuring means, he is less concerned about the future of Nigeria, he is only bothered about his cows.”— Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Afenifere Chieftain and elder Nigerian statesman.

Illiteracy is outlined by the dictionary merely as the lack to learn and write. Someone unable to learn or write might categorical themselves orally however when it comes all the way down to placing pen to paper or studying a guide or newspaper, as an illustration, their incapacity is uncovered to their disgrace. Nigeria boasts of tens of millions of instances of analphabetism particularly within the rural areas. While 1000’s graduate yearly from the colleges increasingly more numbers be part of the illiteracy class.

Analphabetism is a harmful phenomenon given the ignorance it propagates. An illiterate is as harmful to themselves as they’re to the society at giant. That is why it’s mentioned that schooling will endlessly govern ignorance! Serious-minded and well-governed societies make investments closely in schooling as a result of it ensures each improvement and the longer term.

President Muhammadu Buhari, even previous to his common election in 2015 and controversial ‘re-election’ final 12 months, had been embroiled in educational scandal bothering on his WAEC certificates. To the opposition he by no means possessed any; maybe he by no means sat for one. As a septuagenarian Buhari’s technology could possibly be mentioned debatably to have had little or no educational data, so his claims and counter-claims of the opposition concerning his academic profile are comprehensible.

Litigations over his educational qualification for the presidency lingered for years with none definitive judicial pronouncement. He had as soon as claimed that his CV was with the navy excessive command! Yet the difficulty right here just isn’t whether or not he was certified to vie for the presidency or not however whether or not he dedicated perjury by affirming what he by no means possessed.

A patriotic devoted ‘illiterate’ who demonstrated uncanny skill to offer management could also be preferable to a PHD holder who manifested crass incompetence in main a brand new technology of Nigerians. Former President Goodluck Jonathan was mentioned to be a PHD holder but his presidency was riddled with corruption and ineptitude. So the place is the educational hyperlink to sound management right here?

We usually are not advocating for a Barkin Zuwo as President right here. Sound schooling and management has one thing in widespread globally however sure elements might present an avenue for ‘divorce’ particularly within the African political context.

Is President Buhari a Jubril from Chad or Sudan? Nnamdi Kanu and his proscribed IPOB “terrorists” assume that the Buhari we knew earlier than he went for medical tourism that lasted months in London some years again had ‘died’ and was instantly changed surgically with a Jubril from Chad or Sudan. Why Sudan or Chad and never Niger or Guinea? The so-called Jubril might have come from elsewhere!

Personally this commentator has by no means believed such wild declare as a result of there was by no means any tangible proof to help identical. It may be very low cost to allege that the primary citizen of a nation was useless and chirurgically changed with a look-alike with out the key leaking in a digitally-powered world.

Telling us that proof existed within the President’s head coated all the time with cap is like asking us to replay Thomas biblically by seeing earlier than believing. Pray, how might anybody aside from the First Lady, Aisha, or the distinguished members of the infamous Aso Villa cabal ever see Buhari with out his customary cap? Or can we rent a detective to do the job for us by planting a digital camera in his toilet or bed room?

A former Head of State, former Minister and former Chairman of the Petroleum Trust “Fraud” (apology to Ray Ekpu) can’t ordinarily be mentioned to not be certified to be President, one democratically elected. When he led us by the Jackboot within the early 80s nobody of their proper senses dared questioned his educational credentials. But that’s irrelevant.

His case just isn’t distinctive in a continent the place barbarians and cannibals just like the late Idi Amin Dada of Uganda had dominated their nations ignorantly for many years. It is nothing particular in our continental political house the place the likes of ex-President Yahya Jammeh dictatorially caged the Gambians for many years; the place the likes of Dadis Camara dominated their Guinean animal kingdom.

Is President Buhari an illiterate Jubril? Or higher nonetheless, is he a glorified illiterate? A Jubril from Sudan or Chad? Well, all issues thought-about we refuse to simply accept that our President can’t learn and write if sure educational indices are utilized. He couldn’t have been as good as Prof. Wole Soyinka in class or Alassane Ouattara as President however he ‘troopers’ on taking us all down the abyss of despair.

To begin with it might quantity to uncharitable insolence to insinuate {that a} retired General who has put in a long time into the Nigerian navy service is barely educated or an outright case of analphabetism. It can’t stand any mental crucible.

You don’t rise by the ranks and file in your chosen career as an illiterate, do you? Besides, he did navy programs overseas and these research had been carried out in English and never Hausa, Fulani or Fulfulde. It is subsequently disingenuous to say that Buhari is something close to illiteracy!

The President could also be grammatically challenged; he might not be fluent sufficient, he could not possess the required presidential grit and charisma to guide an ideal nation like ours however that’s secondary in our reckoning. He could also be sluggish to taking selections and might not be conversant sufficient with world realities (Covid-19 pandemic for instance) however he has been ‘elected’ twice to offer management on the nationwide stage — though such management is manifestly missing in our embattled nation.

The President might not be used to hiring and firing as circumstances dictate however nothing much less might have been anticipated from an outdated health-challenged lacklustre chief. The cabal led by Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari might have seized the chance to avoid energy by taking presidential selections on behalf of Buhari. But, happily, the ship of state continues to be afloat, not but run aground.

Two Persons Allegedly Die Of Coronavirus After Attending 80th Birthday Party Of Nigeria’s Ambassador To United Kingdom, Okoya, Osoba Among Top Guests At Lavish Ceremony

Two yet-to-be identified persons are alleged to have died of Coronavirus after attending the lavish and star-studded 80th birthday party of Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, George Adetola Oguntade.

The colourful ceremony, which took place on March 10, 2020, was held at the London Hilton on Park Lane, a posh area of UK’s most popular city – London.

Apart from the two guests alleged to have died of the virus after attending the event, one other attendee is said to be on ventilator at a hospital in London.

One of the two persons that died is said to be related to Dorlapoh Crystals, a popular UK-based business owner whose company customises fashion items.

The development has since raised fears that scores of other attendees at the ceremony could have contracted the deadly virus.

Among prominent Nigerians, who attended the party are billionaire Rasak Okoya and his wife Sade, a former governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba, Kessington Adebutu (Baba Ijebu), Oba Saheed Elegushi, music icon – Ebenezer Obey, and Dele Momodu.

Many of these high-profile guests have since returned to Nigeria, further raising concerns that some of them may have imported the dreaded virus into the country without knowing.

Coronavirus was first detected in the United Kingdom on January 31 and since that period, there has been 8,077 confirmed infections and 422 deaths.

Therefore, as at the time Oguntade’s birthday was staged in London on March 10, the virus had fully taken up strategic positions across most parts of the UK.

In a recent interview, Momodu, a veteran journalist and Publisher of Ovation International, confirmed attending the party in London but said that he had no symptoms of the pandemic.

Senior airport sources however, told SaharaReporters that many top Nigerians, who arrived in the country from UK and other parts of the world before the ban on international flights into Nigeria was announced, refused to submit themselves for medical screening for the virus.

Already, a number of prominent Nigerians have been confirmed to have contracted the virus.

Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, and Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Frank Okiye, have all tested positive to the virus while dozens others including state governors, who came in contact with them in recent days have now gone into self-isolation in order to ward off the pandemic.

Nigeria has 46 confirmed cases of Coronavirus so far and one recorded death.

Though government at the federal and state levels have adopted series of measures to curtail the pandemic, there are fears of the virus spreading further in the coming days.

How To Get A Rich Girlfriend – Powerful Trick To Find Wealthy Women Looking For Men Where You Live!

[ad_1]

Life used to be much different for me. And then one night I figured out how to get a rich girlfriend.

I hate to sound clichéd – but the trick is so simple and yet so effective.

Before figuring this out, I spent a lot of my time wondering how to find wealthy women who would date me. I used to look at guys walking hand-in-hand with rich ladies and think: “That should be me!”

But two things used to stop me looking for a rich woman!

1. I’m over weight – and can’t seem to shift it now I’m in my thirties.

2. I was always broke.

These days I know how to get a rich girlfriend. And I’m neither broke nor fat (my girlfriend pays for a private fitness coach)!

Maybe you and I used to be pretty similar, right? That’s the reason I want to help you. I know how it feels!

The intention of this article is to show you how to find HUGE lists of rich ladies looking for men.

So here is the easy way to find wealthy women – and I haven’t seen this anywhere else, so I’m guessing guys in the know are keeping it quiet for themselves…

Get yourself a membership to a popular dating community. Social networks won’t work. It needs to be dating because you want to find rich girls seeking dates.

Make your profile look pretty and then visit their people-search section. You’ve seen this sort of page a million times. Now you won’t meet rich girls by just searching for local women.

To find wealthy women you need to filter your search… And here is the trick.

The best dating sites let you filter searches for LOCATION. So what you do is put in a search for women seeking men but refine that search for ONLY women who live in a rich neighborhood.

This is POWERFUL. You have before you a list of potentially very wealthy women looking for men.

Just consider this – how many rich ladies can you find using this simple little trick? Hundreds? Thousands?

And – best of all – they all want a man!

Women Managers Leaving Corporations for Entrepreneurship

[ad_1]

Increasingly, women managers are choosing to “opt out” when corporations fail to meet their professional needs. Opting out–the latest catch phrase within corporate circles–describes the growing trend of leaving corporate positions for alternative career paths.

A significant number of women managers are leaving large companies to start their own businesses. In fact,

women are quitting corporate jobs in favor of entrepreneurship at twice the rate of men, making a significant impact on the traditional and online marketplace, according to Cheskin Research, a California-based strategic market research and consulting company.

Recent research indicates interesting trends for women entrepreneurs. According to the Center for Women’s Business research, the number of women-owned U.S. businesses grew at twice the rate of all firms between 1997 and 2002. And the U.S. Small Business Administration reports that women-owned businesses account for 28 percent of all privately-owned companies. They employ 9.2 million people and contribute $2.38 trillion in revenue to the U.S. economy.

Why Women Managers are Leaving Corporate America?

Women used to be willing to devote their time, energy, and effort to the corporation’s needs–at the expense of meeting their own professional goals. But not anymore. They’re starting their own businesses in an effort to gain more freedom, recognition, money, opportunities and other rewards.

Fifty-one percent of women business owners with prior private-sector experience cite the desire for more flexibility as the major reason for leaving corporate positions, according to a study by Catalyst, a nonprofit research and advisory organization working to advance professional women. Twenty-nine percent said restrictive glass-ceiling issues drove them out the door. Of those women, 44 percent felt their contributions were not recognized or valued.

“As women walk out the door after years of training,” said Catalyst President Sheila Wellington, “what really walks out is the potential that those women would have brought to Corporate America.”

The Catalyst research–co-sponsored by the National Foundation for Women Business Owners, the Committee of 200, and Salomon Smith Barney–also revealed that:

o A third of the women surveyed by said they weren’t taken seriously by their employer or supervisor.

o Fifty-eight percent of them said that nothing would attract them back to the corporate world.

o Twenty-four percent said they could be lured back by more money, and 11 percent by greater flexibility.

Keeping Women in Corporations

Experts say corporate America isn’t doing enough to keep women from walking out the door. Companies need to focus on providing flexibility, as well as continuing challenges and opportunities for personal growth, to retain women whom they view as high-potential or who are already significant contributors, says Catalyst. In addition, companies should identify potential women managers early in their careers, reward women’s bottom-line contributions, and recruit female entrepreneurs to corporate boards and senior line positions.

Expanding opportunities for women in leadership will require corporate change, as well as accommodations on the part of women themselves. Corporate cultures must support initiatives such as giving women high-visibility assignments, making gender diversity a part of succession planning and holding managers accountable for women’s advancements.

Women managers can hone their leadership ability by seeking out risky, high profile assignments. If they need to strengthen their leadership skills to meet new challenges, they should consider hiring an executive coaching firm. For example, QuadWest Associates of Michigan offers a variety of business coaching and leadership development services to help executives optimize their skills and performance.

By investing in coaching services, women managers can position themselves to expand their boundaries. This can help them excel–whether they remain in a corporate setting or strike out on their own.

8 Tips to Help You Make an Online Dating Site Work for You

[ad_1]

Today, online dating websites use artificial intelligence to help you get in contact with the right person. If you are looking for an effective way of making your favorite dating sites work for you, our expert tips may help you. On these platforms, you can get advice on relationships and dating. Plus, you will get a lot of relevant quizzes.

Since these platforms attract millions of visitors on a regular basis, experts say that you have to use the right approach to make the platform work for you. Let’s read some tips.

Set your Priorities

First of all, you need to set your priorities, which means you need to set criteria for things you are looking for in your desired partner. Therefore, what you need to do is do your homework before you start your search. Also, this will help you create a short list of potential candidates.

Consider your Interests

You may want to choose a site that can match your interests. Your next move is to opt for a platform that you think can help you get the person you are in search of. On big platforms, your chances of finding the right person will be higher.

Have a Live Chat

Although it’s nice to chat with your partner online, it can’t be an alternative to a face-to-face conversation. If you are just getting started, meeting in person may not be possible. So, it’s a good idea to have a live video chat. This will help you find out if you can take it to the next level.

Be Realistic

Although you may find exactly the person you are looking for, make sure you are realistic. In other words, your expectations should be realistic.

Personality Tests

It’s interesting to run some personality tests, but don’t think that they are perfect. The matching bot of the dating site can’t beat personal experience. So, what you need to do is have an open mind about the person who the algorithm think is not good for you. That guy or girl may be an excellent prospect.

Beware of Dishonest People

While communicating with a prospective date on a dating website, make sure you trust your gut instincts. You can use many ways to find out if they are lying to you. Make sure you do all you can to be conservative and protect yourself.

Safeguard your Self-Esteem

If you don’t find your desired person even after several days, don’t lose heart. Even after trying your level best, if you fail to achieve success, we suggest that you sit with a close friend for suggestions. This will help you avoid mistakes that you might have made during the process.

Create a Catchy Profile

Make sure you prepare your profile carefully. Ideally, your profile should be a clear description of who you are. This will help others find you more easily. If your profile is poorly made, you may have to face disappointments.

In short, these are some techniques that can help you make an online dating site work for you.

Wealth Dynamics Profile: What Are "Energy Types?"

[ad_1]

Have you taken the Wealth Dynamics Profile test, received fascinating results, yet found that there were so many additional details in your report around the “Energy Types” that confused you or left you with unanswered questions?

The “Energy Types” I’m referring to are the four words around the outermost area of the Wealth Dynamics square: Dynamo, Tempo, Blaze and Steel.

Are you curious about what these “Energy Types” are all about and how they relate to your Wealth Dynamics Profile?

In Wealth Dynamics, each wealth profile has an associated Type that represents the way people who belong to that profile naturally act and think.

While four of the personality types embody only a single Type (Creator, Supporter, Trader and Lord), the other four personality types embody a combination of two Types (Mechanic, Star, Deal Maker and Accumulator).

Let’s take a look at the Energy Types:

Dynamo Energy Type

The Creator Profile solely expresses the Dynamo Energy. The Mechanic expresses a blend of Dynamo Energy with Steel Energy, and the Star expresses a mix of Dynamo Energy with Blaze Energy.

The Dynamo is expressed by thinking with our “head in the clouds” and the value created with Dynamo Energy is created through innovation.

The characteristics of Dynamo are:

* Energized

* Dynamic

* Great with getting things started

* Not so great with finishing things

Tempo Energy Type

The Trader Profile solely expresses the Tempo Energy. The Accumulator expresses a blend of Tempo with Steel, and the Deal Maker expresses a mix of Tempo with Blaze.

The Tempo is expressed by thinking with our “ear to the ground” and the value created with Tempo Energy is created through timing.

The characteristics of Tempo are:

* Compassionate

* Great team player

* Reliable at getting things done with their team

* Seeks direction from others

Blaze Energy Type

The Supporter Profile solely expresses the Blaze Energy. The Star expresses a blend of Blaze with Dynamo, and the Deal Maker expresses a mix of Blaze with Tempo.

The Blaze Energy is expressed by acting through people and is quite extroverted. The Blaze naturally leverages by magnifying.

The characteristics of Blaze are:

* Passionate

* Outgoing

* Great at networking

* Great at meeting new people

* Easily distracted from tasks

Steel Energy Type

The Lord Profile solely expresses the Steel Energy. The Accumulator expresses a blend of Steel with Tempo, and the Mechanic expresses a mix of Steel with Dynamo.

The Steel Energy is expressed mostly behind the scenes, very introverted. The Steel leverages by multiplying.

The characteristics of Steel Energy are:

* Orderly

* Systems-oriented

* Great eye for detail

* Strong with completing things

* Difficulty with starting new things

Each Type plays a huge role in the success of creating our wealth within our profile type and relates to the way we naturally function in the world either as introverts or extroverts.

That sums up the four energy types found inside of your Wealth Dynamics profile. In the next article, we’ll talk about these energy types in more detail.
