Cabin crew on a Turkish Airlines flight celebrated the arrival of an extra passenger at 42,000ft (12,800 metres) when a woman gave birth to a baby girl. Passengers also assisted at the birth, which took place soon after take-off on a flight from Guinea's capital Conakry to Istanbul via Ouagadougou. The mother and baby, named Kadiju, were taken to hospital when the Boeing 737 landed in the Burkina Faso capital. Both are now reported to be tired but in good health. "The cabin crew noticed that a woman passenger named Nafi Diaby, [who was] 28 weeks into her pregnancy, was suffering childbirth pains," a Turkish Airlines statement said.

I am writing to you in order to make someone understand that it's good to appreciate our partners despite their flaws. I am 32 years of age.  My ex husband and I dated for 6 years. We where best of friends. I waited until he completed college and started work. My family and his family then met. We got married and had a son. (7 years old now). My husband was short tempered at times but our problems started when I wanted to make him feel he couldn't control me. Every time we argued, I would pack my bags, go to my family and explain. My sisters would phone my husband and shout at him. If he was controlling me I would always dare him that if he wished, he could divorce me. I never wanted divorce. I just had pride and I never wanted to look like a loose woman in his eyes. One day I pushed him so hard that for the first time he beat me and locked me outside. I went to my family, my family took him to the police, every time I looked like I was being abused! But to be honest, I used to...

Just because you haven’t seen it yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Try and adjust this mentality “everybody has a price but sometimes it not about money”

  Do you feel satisfied with the style of your boyfriend?   Do you want him to wear something different?   You might choose something more formal.   You might prefer something casual.   You can find out how to change it. Your boyfriend is smart, caring, and funny. He loves you and takes good care of you. Everything is almost perfect.   His clothes.   It’s his clothes. This is a delicate situation, so you need to be careful how you handle it.   Men and women are both sensitive to their looks and can easily be offended by being criticized. Keep these two points in mind.   First, don’t speak negatively. For example, I don’t like your …, I’m ashamed of you for wearing …, You look stupid in… This is not a supportive situation. Use positive language and praise him when he wears something you like. Second, patience!   It is impossible to expect someone to instantly change their clothing style.   It takes time to create a style and it ...
