I hereby call about the relevant authorities and law enforcement to take keen interest, the MOH (ministry of health) and DEC ( drug enforcement Commission ) to encourage more awareness of this issue and better our environment in all parts of the country, Thank you.

ii) Problem solvers and liaison to community resources: for example, crime prevention; taking initiative for community justice; being instrumental in changing the environment that can reduce crime in or around schools; supporting school policy development that address crime and their implementation process (iii) As educators, for example, teaching about policing as a career, criminal investigation, alcohol and drug awareness, gang and stranger awareness and resistance, crime prevention, conflict resolution, restorative justice, babysitting safety, bicycling, pedestrian and motor vehicle safety). Therefore, these assignments are becoming increasingly popular and the SRO programs are being encouraged, through governmental support. There is a general indication in the literature that suggests law enforcement can potentially play an important role in the field of school-based prevention. However, such an effective role has not been scientifically substantiated to be reflected in the UNODC/WHO International Standards on Drug Use Prevention. Moreover, according to our knowledge there is a gap in guiding the effectiveness of the role of SROs to strategically prevent substance use, crime or violence which is important for the health promotion of the youth. Therefore, an extensive literature review must be conducted to understand the ingredients of successes and opportunities (or failures) that have arisen from already existing school-based law enforcement programs. This would help orient the efforts of law enforcement agencies to be more effective in the educational sector and also help better integrate their efforts within the larger pool of key stakeholders availing prevention responses nationally. A guiding document based on the existing literature and experiences globally, as well as networking and bridging of such experiences would be key in reaching this objective. This proposal ultimately aims at availing such a guiding document. (at Lusaka, Zambia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdbZIqFod1d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

5. Competition: The need to perform, to impress, and to make proud is a great pressure for adolescents and young adults. Whether in school or on the field, young people consistently want to prove they are the best to their peers and parents. The competition to be outstanding, however, can be intense. In academics, for example, teens and young adults often rely on the misuse of prescription stimulants as “smart drugs” or study aids to improve academic performance. 6. Attention: Teens often experience a lack of purpose or talent. They feel like they are not good enough to shine or are lacking something to make them special. These feelings may drive them toward substance abuse. Some youth do not know how to become the best, so they choose to become the worst in hopes of getting their parents’ and teachers’ undivided attention. 7. Lack of education: Some adolescents and young adults grow up thinking drug and alcohol use is normal. Their favorite musicians are singing about it, the movies are glamorizing it, the TV ads are selling it. Whether you are sad, can’t sleep, or have a headache, there is a drug for you. Our culture has adopted the “pill cures all” mentality, leading our youth to feel the same about drugs. Many do not understand the consequences of drug use. Many teens do not know how it can harm their minds, bodies, and relationships. They need proper education. They need someone to tell them the truth about drugs and alcohol. 8. Addiction: Some teens and young adults are stuck amongst the cycle. At such a young age, they are more vulnerable to developing dependence and addiction. They get in over their heads at an early age and do not know how to get out. They need you to extend a hand. They need us. THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE SUBSTANCE ABUSE,NAMELY: (i) individual factors: including age, education, income level, health, psychosocial problems. For example: students showing poor self-regulation, impaired control and impulsiveness are more likely to binge drink alcohol.

By Tendai Sande Critical analysis on why people especially young youths take drugs today, their environment and how can law enforcement bring about measures to reduce the rate of substance abuse. TODAY, PEOPLE ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUTHS ABUSE SUBSTANCES DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. In attempt to fit in: Making friends and establishing oneself at school can be difficult for adolescents. The teenage years often come with many insecurities, low self-esteem, and fear of not being accepted. In order to fit in, to feel “cool,” or join an older, more seductive social circle, many teens will start buying and using drugs. 2. To feel good: Many adolescents abuse drugs or alcohol to get high. They are looking for a thrill, an intensified feeling that they cannot obtain through simple pleasures like food or exercise. This is where the addiction cycle starts to kick in. Drugs interact with the way our brain produces, and the way our body experiences, pleasure. When drugs are used, the brain creates up to ten times the normal amount of dopamine and euphoria a person should experience. It is unnatural chemistry that takes place, but our brain remembers it. It craves it. 3. To feel better: There is the desire to feel good and there is the need to feel better. These are two very distinct entities when evaluating teen drug use. Teens looking to “feel better” are in truth, self-medicating. They are battling something deeper than peer pressure or a failed homework assignment. Some adolescents are suffering from deep-seated conditions like depression, social anxiety, and stress-related disorders. They use drugs to forget or replace their negative feelings with substance-induced pleasure. 4. Experimentation: The brain does not finish developing until the age of 25. The last part of the brain to develop is the one that controls rational decision making, self-control, and judgment, making adolescents more prone to trying risky and daring activities. Drugs and alcohol are often easy, accessible outlets for experimentation that can severely impact the developing teenage brain.

6 Reasons why drinking water is important By tendai Sande 1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature. 2. Water Can Help Control Calories. For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn't have any magical effect on weight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help. "What works with weight loss is if you choose water or a non-caloric beverage over a caloric beverage and/or eat a diet higher in water-rich foods that are healthier, more filling, and help you trim calorie intake," 3. Water Helps Energize Muscles. Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue. "When muscle cells don't have adequate fluids, they don't work as well and performance can suffer,". 4. Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good. Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. But don't expect over-hydration to erase wrinkles or fine lines, says Atlanta dermatologist Kenneth Ellner, MD. "Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration," he says. "But once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneys take over and excrete excess fluids". 5.Water Helps Your Kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine, explains Guest. "Your kidneys do an amazing job of cleansing and ridding your body of toxins as long as your intake of fluids is adequate," he says. 6. Water Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function. Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. When you don't get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration -- and the result is constipation.

Dr. mujajati Writes @mujajatiaaron IF YOU WANT TO BE ME 1. Get pyomyositis at 4 years old and become invalid for the rest of your life (with persistent joint pain every time it gets cold) 2. Get bullied for walking funny 3. Fail grade 7 and repeat 4. Repeat a course in 6th year 5. Repeat a year at masters 6. Get 5 degrees, two of which at masters level 7. Get fired publicly 8. I was born and raised in Chaisa compound here in Lusaka. I have rough edges so if you really pay attention you may notice my kombonic self. My point here is that it is very easy to focus only on the positives and say "I want to be like Dr. Mujajati". We are who we are because we received help from others and devine intervention. Frankly, I am work in progress. If I am your inspiration please remember my flaws as well because they too are a sum total of what you think has inspired you. Here is what I do every day: I commit to being a better version of myself than I was yesterday. To minimise regret I do every, good or bad, with conviction. Therefore, in the unlikely event that my life has inspired you, I hope it is to unapologetically be yourself. (at Lusaka, Zambia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdK-zwlOcAh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Emergency signs and symptoms in children can include; Difficulty breathing, Blue lips, Chest pain, Dehydration, Severe, muscle pain and Seizures. RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase your risk of developing the flu or its complications include: AGE - Seasonal influenza tends to target children 6 months to 5 years old, and adults 65 years old or older. Living or working conditions. People who live or work in facilities with many other residents, such as nursing homes or military barracks, are more likely to develop the flu. People who are staying in the hospital also are at higher risk. WWAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM - Cancer treatments, anti-rejection drugs, long-term use of steroids, organ transplant, blood cancer or HIV/AIDS can weaken the immune system. This can make it easier to catch the flu and may also increase the risk of developing complications. CHRONIC ILLNESS - Chronic conditions, including lung diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, nervous system diseases, metabolic disorders, an airway abnormality, and kidney, liver or blood disease, may increase the risk of influenza complications. RACE - Native American people may have an increased risk of influenza complications. ASPARIN USE UNDER AGE 19 - People who are younger than 19 years of age and receiving long-term aspirin therapy are at risk of developing Reye's syndrome if infected with influenza. PREGNANCY - Pregnant women are more likely to develop influenza complications, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Women are more likely to develop influenza-related complications up to two weeks after delivering their babies. OBESITY - People with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more have an increased risk of flu complications. PREVENTION Flu risk reduced up to 60% by vaccine 1. Influenza is the only respiratory virus preventable by vaccination. 2. Wash hands by washing with soap and water or use hand sanitizer. 3. Cover Your Mouth and Nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. 4. Don't Touch Your Face with unwashed hands; it’s the easiest way for germs to enter your body. 5. Smiling and laughing can help boost your immune system. (at Lusaka, Zambia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJauXwo82m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

By Tendai Sande DEFINITION Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system — your nose, throat and lungs. Influenza is commonly called the flu, but it's not the same as stomach "flu" viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting. For most people, the flu resolves on its own. But sometimes, influenza and its complications can be deadly. People at higher risk of developing flu complications include: - Young children under age 5, and especially those under 6 months - Adults older than age 65 - Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities - Pregnant women and women up to two weeks after giving birth - People with weakened immune systems - People who have chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetes - People who are very obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher Though the annual influenza vaccine isn't 100% effective, it's still your best defense against the flu. SYMPTOMS At first, the flu may seem like a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing and sore throat. But colds usually develop slowly, whereas the flu tends to come on suddenly. And although a cold can be a bother, you usually feel much worse with the flu. Common signs and symptoms of the flu include;Fever, Aching, muscles, Chills and sweats Headache Dry, persistent cough, Shortness of breath, Tiredness/ weakness, Runny or stuffy nose, Sore throat, Eye pain, Vomiting and diarrhea. WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR? - Most people who get the flu can treat themselves at home and often don't need to see a doctor. -If you have flu symptoms and are at risk of complications, see your doctor right away. Taking antiviral drugs may reduce the length of your illness and help prevent more-serious problems. -If you have emergency signs and symptoms of the flu, get medical care right away. For adults, emergency signs and symptoms can include; Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, Chest pain, Ongoing dizziness, Seizures, Worsening of, existing medical conditions, Severe weakness or muscle pain.

Conclusion I would like to call upon my fellow youths and peers, parents and all those running their businesses, officials to take keen interest I'm fighting this vice, at this point; be the fighter of corruption and do not follow the multitude to indulge in that dirty act. You can start the fight from within your family. Just because everybody in your country is doing it does not mean you have to take part in it. Be the change you want to see in your country and others will learn from you. (at Lusaka, Zambia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdG19C6IRb0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
