VALIDATE YOUR REASONS

Yesterday, while discussing with my mum, she told me of some advice her local pastor had given her just after she returned from the burial of my dad.It was a tumultuous time in her life and she was faced with challenges on all sides, especially emotionally and financially.

He told her that she had to be strong. That she should get up each morning, dress up properly and go to her office where she worked as company secretary at the time. 

He told her that she either could sit indoors and play the pity party while becoming despondent or pick herself up right after his burial and go out there to ensure that the home had a sustainable means of income.

He specifically told her that folks would talk; they would point at her for the first, second and third week and may never stop but what should matter to her is ensuring that her children's well being were met and her mind whole.

She told me that it wasn't easy. Widowhood at the time required sitting in one place, head shaved and generally relocating to the village for a middle-aged Igbo woman with three kids none of which were in university.

But she did it. Folks talked. Her co-workers, landlord etc were shocked at her seeming non-chalance at the death of her husband. What they didn't know was that the woman was living each day as a survival course.

She made it. And went ahead to also get her GCE at one sitting from attending adult education as she needed it for her job security at the time.  We all went to university and graduated. 

It all isn't perfect now but it is a lot better than back then.

Here's a shoutout to all persons out there fighting their way through while society thinks otherwise - YOUR STRUGGLE IS VALID! YOU SHALL LAUGH AT THE END!

Have a great week people.

Android users urged to delete 23 dangerous apps that can fleece you out of thousands
Researchers from Sophos have warned about a new batch of apps that contain dangerous ‘fleeceware’, and could scam you out of thousands

From Google to Samsung, Android smartphones are some of the most popular handheld devices around the world.

But if you own an Android smartphone, a new report may convince you to reassess which apps you have installed.

Researchers from Sophos have warned about a new batch of apps that contain dangerous ‘fleeceware’, and could scam you out of thousands.

Sophos uncovered 23 apps that violate the Google Play Store’s new app policies (scroll down for the full list).

In a blog about the findings, researcher Jagadeesh Chandraiah explained: “The new Google-issued rules are designed to address some forms of deceptive marketing display copy, but they also have some loopholes that permit other behaviour some might consider unscrupulous.”

The dangerous apps use a range of tactics to fleece unsuspecting customers out of money.

Android users can tell if their passwords have been hacked with a single tap - here's how

Android users should do four simple things now to protect their smartphone from hackers
Some use a tactic called ‘blind sub’, in which they lure you in with promises of a free trial, but without details of how long the free trial lasts or how much you’ll be charged.

Others use at technique called ‘spam subscriptions’.

Mr Chandraiah said: “You sign up once, and find yourself subscribed to a bunch of different apps as the fleeceware apps advertise one another.

“Users sometimes unknowingly subscribe to hundreds of dollars worth of app subscriptions by clicking buttons like these.”

Meanwhile, another crafty technique sees the app displaying terms and conditions in grey fonts on white backgrounds, making them unreadable

Mr Chandraiah explained: “While not exclusive to fleeceware, some apps that charge a subscription still display the costs or important terms literally in grey fonts on a white background, or using incredibly tiny fonts that virtually blend into the background of the subscription solicitation on a mobile device.

“In so doing, the publishers perform the letter, but not the spirit, of the rules – they display the full subscription details in a way that the eye trying to read it just naturally wants to glaze over.”

Based on the findings, the researchers are urging Android users to be wary about which apps they download.

Mr Chandraiah added: “Be wary of apps that have short trial and high costs. If you want to unsubscribe from an app trial, please follow the instructions provided by Apple for iOS users or by Google for Android users."

MANAGING "SEX" AS A TRIGGER OF SICKLE CELL CRISES

MANAGING "SEX" AS A TRIGGER OF SICKLE CELL CRISES

Does sex trigger sickle cell crises?

Should sex trigger sickle cell crises?

Why should sex trigger sickle cell crises when it also triggers the release of happy hormones and most especially natural pain killers like endorphins?

Nothing is generalized in sickle cell disease because of the difference in severity which are due to some factors that may not always be controllable.

      Not all sickle cell crises triggers are avoidable, some can only be managed and sex is one of those triggers that fall under this category.

   As much as there are warriors that sex doesn't trigger their crises , sex  triggering sickle cell crises is a relatively common complaint among sickle cell warriors which makes it worthy of discussion.

   From my personal observation, women complain more than men ,not sure if that is as a result of men being shy to discuss their sex life in relation to crises or the fact many men attain orgasm more than women and release more happy hormones which probably plays a role. 

  Sex can be like a double edged sword for some warriors. Some sometimes  express sex helps with their crises and make them feel better while they also express that sex sometimes triggers it. Some have also complained of crises after multiple rounds of sex and sometimes Priapism after sex

  Sex has a combo of triggers jumbled into 1

1. Sexual intercourse is like a physical activity and physical exertion triggers crises

2. You tend to perspire a lot during sex, which leads to dehydration , dehydration is also a trigger of sickle cell crises

The happy hormones released during sex which includes the natural pain killer "endorphins" may not always be able to handle the pain caused by these factors I mentioned hence the crises.

PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN POSSIBLY HELP AVOID SEX TRIGGERING A SICKLE CELL CRISIS

1. Prioritising your health must be your first concern, love yourself that much.

2. Get a partner that loves you beyond words, a partner that will prioritise your health need over his/her own needs if need be.Anything short of this might not be good enough for you 

3. Get to know and understand your body , a sickle  cell warrior that  understands his/her body should know when he/she is stressed and should rest or else he/she risks a serious crisis.

So you need to understand this, any day you are already feeling extremely stressed,it is  a wrong move to choose to have sex that day. If your partner wants it ,let him/her know you are not fit for sex that day. Aggravating an already present trigger can easily initiate a crisis during or after sex.

4. If you are unwell e.g you have an infection  or you are just recovering from a crisis or you just had a surgery those are already triggers, don't add another trigger to it . Wait till you are very fit

5. Learn to hydrate yourself adequately before sex , possibly during and after sex. To manage the dehydration that occurs as a result of sex

6. Stay away from sex styles and positions that are extremely energy sapping ,staying in some sex positions is actually like a rigorous exercise. If you are a sickle cell warrior you  are better lying supine. 

  

7. Know your limitations, going for too many rounds of sex whithin a short period of time may trigger your crises

8. Learn to engage in foreplays when you are not fit enough to go all the way

9. Avoid rough and aggressive sex, it can easily trigger crises for you

10. If you are a warrior that usually experiences crises DURING sex, taking oral analgesics before sex won't be a bad idea, talk to your doctor about it.

Android Malware Signs To Check Smartphone Update

Android users who are concerned about malware should check for these three fail-safe signs

ANDROID smartphone owners concerned about malicious apps lurking on their smartphones can look for three simple signs that something might be amiss on their device. Here's what you need to know.  noted By AARON BROWN

One of the worst things that can happen to your Android smartphone is that your device is infected with malware. This can have dire consequences for your smartphone, including handing over personal information to cyber criminals, slowing down your shiny new phone, or filling legitimate apps and web browser windows with resource-intensive adverts to generate revenue for digital crooks.

And as a slew of recent warnings from Google and other researchers have shown, malware even manages to slip into the Google Play Store. If you can't always trust the software found in this curated digital store, how can you spot when you've installed a problematic app on your

there are a few tried-and-trusted signs that can tell you when your smartphone in harbouring malware.

According to the team at security company Malwarebytes, these are some of the most common signs there is a problem with your handset

You're seeing adverts everywhere – regardless of which app you're using

You've installed a new app, but the icon has disappeared and you can't find it anywhere in the App Drawer

Your phone battery is suddenly draining much, much faster than usual

If you're experiencing any of these, it could be a sign that you've got some malware under the bonnet causing disruption. While not every malicious app is looking to siphon off your credit or debit card details, almost all instances are disorienting – and get in the way of how you would usually use your phone.

Android device that perform slower than usual could be infected with malware.

According to Malwarebytes data, it's pretty common too. The online security firm found close to 200,000 instances of malware on its customers' smartphones and tablets in May alone. And then the same amount again in June 2020.

spotted one of these signs what can you do about it?

Well, there a few things you can do to attempt to rid your smartphone of any malicious software.

First – and most importantly, you'll need to ensure that your smartphone operating system is up to date. Security experts consistently rank a recent operating system release as one of the most important measures that you can take to protect your device and online accounts. If you already have malware lurking on your smartphone, updating to the latest software can patch vulnerabilities – cutting off access leveraged by the malicious software already found on your device.

Of course, update can also keep new malware from being able to get its claws into your handset.

Next up, you'll need to review the permissions the apps already installed on your smartphone hold – you'll be looking for something unusual. Does a word game have permissions to send text messages? Seemingly excessive permissions could be a red flag, security experts say.

Millions of Android users warned of new malicious app threat

If you want to remove an app you no longer use – or one that has permissions that concern you – you'll want to remove all of those permissions before deleting the app. Some malicious apps give themselves administrator privileges, so they can't just be deleted without a few extra steps. If you're struggling to remove a specific app, it might be worth researching online to find what has worked for others.

Finally, you might want to use anti-virus software, like Malwarebytes, Norton, McAfee, or Lookout, to scan for anything that looks awry on your smartphone.

Android users urged to delete chat app that can spy on you and steal your data

Researchers from ESET have warned about a malicious app that can spy on you and even steal your personal data

From Google to Samsung, Android smartphones are some of the most popular handheld devices around the world.

But if you use an Android smartphone, a new report may urge you to reassess which apps you have installed on your device.

Researchers from ESET have warned about a malicious app that can spy on you and even steal your personal data.

The app, called Welcome Chat, is a functioning chat app, but also contains dangerous malware named BadPatch.

The app is promoted on a malicious website, which claims it’s a secure chat platform available on the Google Play Store.

Lukas Stefanko, a researcher at ESET, said: “In regard to the ‘secure’ claim, nothing is further from the truth.

“Not only is Welcome Chat an espionage tool; on top of that, its operators left the data harvested from their victims freely available on the internet. And the app was never available on the official Android app store.”

If you download the app, you’ll be prompted to allow permissions such as send and view text messages, access files, record audio and access contacts and device locatiion

explained: “Such an extensive list of intrusive permissions might normally make the victims suspicious – but with a messaging app, it’s natural they are needed for the app to deliver the promised functionality.”

If you grant these permissions, the app is able to perform a number of malicious actions, including reading your private text messages, accessing your contact lists, and viewing your photos.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES OF BEING HACKED THROUGH SECURITY FLAW?

CYBERSECURITY

Based on the findings, the researchers are urging users not to download any apps from outside the Google Play Store.

Mr Stefanko added: “We strongly recommend that users don’t install any apps from outside the official Google Play store – unless it’s a trusted source such as a website of an established security vendor or some reputable financial institution.

“On top of that, users should pay attention to what permissions their apps require and be suspicious of any apps that require permissions beyond their functionality – and, as a very basic security measure, run a reputable security app on their mobile devices.”

Whatapp tips and tricks

WhatsApp shares 10 secret tips and tricks you might not know about the app

EXCLUSIVE: WhatsApp has revealed its 10 tips for living your best life on the app, including bookmarking main messages and reading messages in 'super-stealth mode

 

With over 1.5 billion daily active users, WhatsApp is without a doubt one of the most popular messaging apps around.

If you use WhatsApp, you’ve probably got the basics of the app covered, but there are actually several secret features you may not be making full use of.

Speaking exclusively to Mirror Online, WhatsApp has revealed its 10 tips for living your best life on the messaging app.

From bookmarking main messages to reading messages in ‘super-stealth mode’, here are the top WhatsApp tips and tricks you might not know about the app.

1. Record hands-free voice notes

While voice notes are one of the most popular features on WhatsApp, many users are unaware that you can record voice notes hands-free.

 

WhatsApp said: “Did you know that if you hold down the microphone icon and swipe up, it locks the voice note function to ‘record’, leaving you able to record your message hands-free?

“Once you have finished recording your message, just press send!”

2. Bookmark your main messages

While WhatsApp does have a search function, trying to find messages from a while ago can be tricky.

Thankfully, there’s a sneaky way to bookmark key messages to make sure you can find them easily and quickly in the future.

WhatsApp said: “Make use of the ‘star’ message function where you can bookmark key messages that you can easily view again in one central location.Just press down on the message that you want to bookmark and then tap the ‘star’ icon.

“For iPhone users, you can find all your starred messages by going to Settings & Starred Messages or click the name of your chat and tap ‘Starred messages’. For Android users, tap ‘More options’, and tap ‘Starred messages’.”

3. Tailor your status to every occasion

Statuses are an easy way to tell all your contacts something at once.

WhatsApp explained: “You can set your ‘About’ status to a pre-existing option, or you can create your own for whatever activity you may be up to!

“To do so, go to Settings; [Tap your name]; About; Status, and select a pre-existing option, or, to personalise it, click Edit, select any of the pre-existing options, and share with the world what you’re currently up to.”

4. Set your phone aside but still be online

Sneaking your smartphone out to check your WhatsApp messages at work can be tricky, but thankfully there’s a way to check your messages without even touching your phone.

WhatsApp said: “Download the WhatsApp Web desktop app, which mirrors your phone’s conversations on your computer. This means you can send the normal WhatsApp messages, photos and GIFs from your computer, but now in double quick time.

5. Elevate your conversations with Stickers

While many people use emoji in their messages, Stickers can offer a fun alternative to jazz up your conversations.

WhatsApp said: “When you open a conversation, next to the field you input text into, there is a little

square icon with a folded side page. When you click that, it comes up with your stickers – but you can add more! Find out how to download more stickers in WhatsApp’s FAQs.”

 

READ MOREWhatsApp Sticker update will make your chats MUCH more dynamiThere are often times when you want to read a WhatsApp message without your friend knowing.

While there’s always the option to hide ‘Read Receipts’, this approach isn’t for everyone. Thankfully, there’s a sneaky alternative, that lets you read a full message and avoid blue ticks.

WhatsApp explained: “If you see a message come in on your iPhone’s lock screen, press down slightly on the message on the screen and it pulls up the full text, but you won’t appear to the other person that you’ve read the message. Stealthy!”

7. Pin your most important friends or groups

Scrolling through your message to find your favourite person’s chats can be annoying, but there’s actually a way to pin their conversation to the top of your inbox.

WhatsApp said: “On the iPhone, swipe to the right on the chat you want to pin to the top and then tap ‘Pin’. On Android, tap and hold on the chat and then tap the pin icon.”

 

 

8. Regain control of your groups

Have you been annoyed by a friend changing the name of a group, or switching the group photo?

Well, there’s a way to change the group settings so only you can allow these changes.

WhatsApp said: “You can change the group settings so that only admins are allowed to change group info. To do so, click on your group name and go to Group Settings; Edit group info.”

9. Find out who you talk to the most

If you’ve ever wondered who your favourite person on WhatsApp is, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s fairly straightforward to find out.

WhatsApp said: “You can find out who you send the most messages to and how much storage each person you speak to takes up by going to: Settings; Data and Storage Usage; Storage Usage; Select Contact.”

10. Manage who adds you to groups

While group chats are a useful way to communicate with your friends and family, there’s nothing annoying than being added to a chatty group with no relevance to you.

WhatsApp recently rolled out the ability to manage who adds you to groups.

It added: “To ensure that you only join groups that you

 want to be in, you can manage your group permission settings.

1“Once enabled, the friend who wants to add you to a group will be required to first send you an invitation link in the app. If you accept it, you will then be added to the group. If not, the link will expire in three days.”

To enable it, go to Settings; Account; Privacy; Groups and select one of three options: “Everyone,” “My Contacts,” or “My Contacts Except.”

“My Contacts” means only users you have in your address book can add you to groups and “My Contacts Except” provides additional control for who among your contacts can add you to a group.

Google Banned 25 apps from play store

Google has banned a further 25 apps from its Play Store because of concerns they are causing Android users to be flooded with adverts.

The tech giant banned more than 50 apps last month for the same problem, with worries that the apps were clogging phones up with annoying hardware.

Now there's 25 more apps that users should really delete from their phone if they use Android, reports the Daily Express.

The latest attack is a serious one as it targeted Facebook users with stolen personal details and credentials that hackers stole from social accounts.

Google already banned 50 apps and has now removed 25 more 

French cyber-security firm, Evina, made the malware discovery that the apps could infiltrate devices through offering genuine functionality.

Once the app is installed the hidden code inside it is automatically activated and can start stealing personal data.

It then waits until the user launches Facebook, at which time it can mimic popular social media sites and is also able to overlay a web browser window on top of the Facebook app.

It brings up a Facebook log in page that is incredibly like the real thing. Then users enter their username and password, which are sent on to hackers.

Evina found the malicious code in 25 apps, which Google removed as soon as it was reported to them at the end of May and they had verified the security company's findings.

You should delete the below apps now if you have them on your smartphone READ 

The 25 apps are:

• Super Wallpapers Flashlight
• Padenatef
• Wallpaper Level
• Contour Level wallpaper
• iPlayer & iWallpaper
• Video Maker
• Color Wallpapers
• Pedometer
• Powerful Flashlight
• Super Bright Flashlight
• Super Flashlight
• Solitare Game
• Accurate scanning of QR code
• Classic card game
• Junk file cleaning
• Synthetic Z
• File Manager
• Composite Z
• Screenshot Capture
• Daily Horoscope Wallpapers
• Wuxia Reader
• Plus Weathe
• Anime Live Wallpaper
• Health Step Counter

These apps are no longer available to download in the Play Store so you don't have to worry about doing that mistakenly.

However if you already had them on your phone before Google banned them you will have to delete them yourself.

If you have any of the above apps, make sure you delete them immediately and also change your Facebook password.
