A fibroid is a benign, non-cancerous growth that occurs in or around the uterus. It is also known as leiomyoma, or simply myoma, in medical terminology. A woman can have a single fibroid or multiple fibroids. These growths constitute fibrous tissues and muscles. Fibroids can be minuscule or conspicuous. However, in most cases, they tend to become extremely large. According to the National Institutes of Health, most American women are likely to develop fibroids during their lifetimes. The causes of fibroids remain relatively unknown, although they are mostly genetic. Obese women are more likely to develop fibroids than healthier women.…

One of the strange features of cybercrime is how much of it is public. A quick search will turn up forums and sites where stolen goods, credit cards and data are openly traded. But a glance into those places may not give you much idea about what is going on. “Everyone can join as long as you speak Russian,” said Anton, a malware researcher at security firm Sentinel One, who has inhabited this underground world for more than 20 years. “By Russian I mean the USSR, so there is Ukrainians, there is Kazakhstan, there is Belarus. The Romanians are doing…

Have you ever wondered why there is so much corruption in Ghana? From the politician to the trotro mate to the market woman, everyone is corrupt. The policeman, student union executives, and the journalist. So how does a nation progress when corruption permeates every fibre of the society? No one is afraid; no one fears nor respect the laws or the institutions because with money everything and everyone can be bought. A people who purport to be very religious seem to have very little respect for religion. As we mark our 60th anniversary, perhaps it’s time to inculcate the African…

Mexico has condemned new guidelines issued by the United States, under which almost all illegal immigrants can be subject to deportation. The new rules include sending undocumented people to Mexico, even if they are not Mexicans. But Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray says his country cannot “accept unilateral decisions imposed by one government on another.” Two top US officials are in Mexico to discuss the measures. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and the head of Homeland Security, John Kelly, will hold talks with President Enrique Pena Nieto, amid one of the most serious rifts between the two neighbours in recent…

Facebook has deleted two accounts that used stolen photographs of a sick child to falsely claim he had cancer. It follows complaints by the three-year-old’s mother that the images had been used as part of a scam. They dated from last year when the boy had a bad case of chickenpox. The posts claimed Facebook would donate money for surgery if users “liked” them or left comments. One security expert warned that users who did so had put themselves at risk. More than a million people had engaged with one of the messages since it was posted at the start…

The past is the past when it comes to relationships. And, of course, we have to respect our partner’s privacy and boundaries. So if they don’t like talking about their past relationships, or offer very little information, that’s the end of that. But what if you’re dating someone new and you’re dying to know who and how they dated in the past? You don’t want to appear suspicious and insecure; you’re just … curious. While the experts agree that deceit can be dangerous — and you definitely don’t want to lose your partner’s trust — there are ways to obtain…

South Africa’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been ruled “unconstitutional and invalid” by the High Court. South Africa notified the UN of its intention to leave last October, accusing the ICC of undermining its sovereignty. But the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) argued that the government had to first seek parliamentary approval. The court ordered the government to revoke its notice of withdrawal. The decision to pull out came after a dispute over Sudanese President Omar al-Bashar’s visit to the country in 2015. South African authorities refused to arrest Mr Bashir despite him facing an ICC…

‘Time changes and man moves forward, nations discover themselves and break off the shackles of yesterday.” As we reminisce Ghana’s independence over the years, where are we as a people and as a nation, who is the Ghanaian and what does he stand for? 60 years on after independence how have we rediscovered ourselves, have we truly broken off the shackles of yesterday, the shackles of slavery and colonization? Or are we still being breastfed by our colonial masters? When our forefathers fought for independence they believed that the Ghanaian government is of the people, by the people and for…
