Skeleton Man Escapes Death in a Road Accident

KENYAN dancehall-ragga artiste Skeleton Man is nursing injuries sustained from a road accident in Nairobi last week.
The singer, who is riding high with his latest single dubbed Uhuru Innocent, was in the company of three other close friends when the car they were travelling in collided with another vehicle at the Globe roundabout underpass. According to him, the four were heading to the CBD when another car rammed into them forcing their car to veer off the road, hitting a concrete pillar.
"We were headed to town from Ngara after a reggae show at the Sarakasi Dome's Sawa Sawa Club when the accident occurred. It was so nasty that one of my friends, Paul Kanyiri aka Elephant Man, who sustained deep cuts on the head died some minutes later at Kenyatta National Hospital. The rest of us were treated for the injuries sustained and discharged, but it was really a sad night having lost one of my closest buddies. He was a great supporter of my work and it's hard to come to terms with the loss," he told Word Is.
Skeleton Man has just inked a deal with a Dubai-based Shisha processing and selling company, Mason Shisha, to have him as its point-man in Nairobi's entertainment joints.

The Key to Happy Relationships? It’s Not All About Communication

If couples were paying any attention during the past few decades, they should be able to recite the one critical ingredient for a healthy relationship — communication. But the latest study shows that other skills may be almost as important for keeping couples happy. While expressing your needs and feelings in a positive way to your significant other is a good foundation for resolving conflicts and building a healthy relationship, these skills may not be as strong a predictor of couples’ happiness as experts once thought. In an Internet-based study involving 2,201 participants referred by couples counselors, scientists decided to test, head to head, seven “relationship competencies” that previous researchers and marital therapists found to be important in promoting happiness in romantic relationships. The idea was to rank the skills in order of importance to start building data on which aspects of relationships are most important to keeping them healthy. In addition to ...

How to lose weight

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese. In fact, the furor over obesity, which some have termed an “epidemic,” has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized, sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a crusade to control the dietary offerings in public schools. Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obese are still overweight, and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight. Shedding pounds largely comes down to the two-pronged factors of diet and exercise. Not modifying the first one enough, and not getting enough of the second one, ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight. Conditions related to obesity include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Counseling someone to eat less and exercise more might be the simplest advice possible, but it’s also, partiall...

Can Nightmares Cause Death? Spirit Possession? Mental Illness?

A lot of the research on nightmares suggests these events test the strength of one’s mind. If the mind is not strong, nightmares can take hold with greater force and the torment can extend beyond one’s dreams. Dr. Patrick McNamara of the Boston University School of Medicine looks at nightmares in a modern clinical context that also takes into account the history of dream phenomena in many cultures. He connects nightmares with a world of malevolent spirits. Spirit Possession Some people who experience frequent nightmares, both today and throughout history, also show signs in waking life of mental illness and even what may be seen as spirit possession. Dr. McNamara seems unabashed in speaking about spirit possession. “Nightmares very often involve supernatural characters that attack or target the dreamer in some way. I mean monsters, creatures, demons, spirits, unusual animals, and the like,” Dr. McNamara said in an interview with Boston University’s alumni publicat...
