6 Ways to Communicate Better in Your Relationship
Communication is one of the most important keys in all relationships. It’s important for your partner and you to communicate freely with no hesitation, It’s better to talk about things you want your partner to know rather than keeping them from him/her! By keeping things from your significant other you may not helping the situation, because you will add more problems to it.
Here are 10 ways to improve your communication skills and make a better relationship:
1-Spend More Time Together Daily:
It means make time for your partner and put aside other things you want to do, People want to feel important and this is the one simple step to show your partner how important He/she is for you. Watching TV is not count as spending time. going out on a date night is one of the popular ones, you have time to talk about your week or ask your partner to support you on some situations you may need help( emotionally or financially) .
2- Understand Your Partner:
In any communication between two people it’s important to let your partner know that you respect his/her opinion. Never use words like “Always” “never” and … . relationships are 50-50 You cannot blame your partner for everything and otherwise . Be open to her/his opinion and let your partner talk .
3- Don’t Assume:
Assumption is the killer of communication, Don’t make assumption specially in a serious relationships. Having conclusion without discussing it with your partner is one big mistake. You never know what was in your partner’s mind unless you have a brief talk about it.
4- Honesty:
Honesty is an important key in communications and relationships. Be honest and straightforward; Speak your mind and let your partner know what is going on. It’s better to discuss everything before making any decisions rather than having problems later because you didn’t say exactly what you wanted!
5- Touch Each Other:
Use your hands and your eyes, make direct eye contact and touch each other during your talk, Don’t forget you are partners and you both want to find the best solutions. Smile and don’t be so serous about things.
6- Don’t use Electronic Devices:
Never Ever text or Email your partner to discuss things that are important for you. Face to face communications are the best, use a private room and sit with your partner to talk. Using cellphones and internet just put you in some situations which you don’t have control over it, If you are seeking for answers to your problems it’s better do it face to face .

Akon aims to provide 600 million Africans with solar-power energy
In my opinion, this story is phenomenal. According to statistics on http://www.akonlightingafrica.com, 600 million Africans still don’t have access to electricity, particularly in rural areas. Akon is a Senegalese-American “musicpreneur” who is choosing to give back in a major way to his home country. Not only does his initiative aim to provide immediate energy solutions to these areas, but he is establishing the Solar Academy for students to learn from experts and make groundbreaking discoveries in that arena. According to the site.
Lighting up Africa works to:
• Allow school children and students to do their homework and pass their exams.
• Allow shopkeepers, tradesmen and cooks to work and small businesses to expand their activities and revenues.
• Make roads safer and improve the structure of public places in Africa. It helps guarantee the continuity of healthcare services as doctors are able to examine patients after dark.
• Provide a great opportunity for families who will be saved from using pollutant, toxic and costly domestic fuels such as kerosene.
• Ensure better access to information, through the radio, television or computer, and improve communications as the people will be able to recharge mobile phones faster and cheaper.
• Empower the young people of Africa, who account for 70% of the population and who will be responsible for driving growth.

8 Reasons You Should Start Sleeping Naked Tonight
Have you tried sleeping naked? If not, we highly recommend giving it a try! It may be a little strange at first, but after a few nights of sleeping in the buff, you’ll be a changed woman! Why? Here are eight reasons!
You can get a better night’s sleep. Some people like to get cozy at night, but as you sleep, your body naturally cools itself. Sleeping without clothes will keep your body colder and give you a more natural, better sleep
It can air out your downstairs. It’s totally normal for a vagina to host yeast and bacteria, but when it’s too warm and wet, too much can grow and cause issues. Sleeping naked gives your body a chance to air out. It also gives other parts of your body (armpits, feet and more) to be free of the restriction they’re used to all day.You’ll have more sex. Skin on skin contact encourages your brain to release more oxytocin, a feel-good chemical. You’ll have a sexier night when your clothes are already off!

It’s easier. Sleeping naked means you don’t need to buy pajamas. It’s also less clothing to wash and put away. You may want to wash your sheets a little more often, but it’s still less laundry than you’d be doing for PJs.
It regulates cortisol levels. Cortisol is the “stress hormone” that can throw your body out of whack. Sleeping naked keeps your body cooler, which will keep cortisol levels from getting too high. High cortisol can lead to more stress and anxiety, food cravings and weight gain.
You’ll feel more confident. Sleeping nude will allow you to feel more in touch with your body. You’ll enjoy the feel of the sheets and the cool air, making you feel sexier. You can bet your naked butt that sleeping naked will lead to a more confident and happy you.
It’ll keep you from being lazy. After a long day, you may come home and throw on PJs. That’s the point of no return. You won’t run any errands, certainly won’t be going to the gym or leaving the house. No PJs means no lazy pants.
It’s great for your skin: Your skin works hard while you’re asleep. Deep sleep encourages skin regeneration and if you’re suffocating it under a lot of layers, it can’t do its thing!

The Hotel Atlantis in Dubai offers these “underwater” rooms built right up against huge aquarium tanks. It’s a cool view, but I’d be terrified of it breaking in my sleep…
