“I hated my body, I fixed it,” Her words stood out like a ripe pimple. This year I stopped complaining and changed things. I hated my body, I fixed it, (best decision ever). I hated hanging around certain people who made me feel small; I dropped them, I learnt to forgive (I still struggle but it’s a journey), I learnt to be at peace. #2018Lessons — Toke Makinwa (@tokstarr) 27 December 2018 Toke Makinwa has often been open about her personal struggles at the expense of her vulnerability, and I’ve often admired that about her. She owns her truths, her…
Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino, Concordia University and Conall Eoghan Mac Cionnaith, Concordia University There is a clear disparity between men and women when it comes to achieving orgasm; a phenomenon scientists call the orgasm gap. Studying orgasms is no easy task. We work as psychology of sexual behaviour researchers in the lab of Dr. James Pfaus at Concordia University and were interested to explore the “controversy” of clitoral versus vaginal orgasms. We conducted a literature review on the current state of the evidence and different perspectives on how this phenomenon occurs in women. Particularly, the nature of a woman’s orgasm…

My Dear Daughter, “Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.” – Desiderata. Your journey through life is a smorgasbord of experiences. When you were much younger these experiences were sometimes confusing or perhaps even perplexing and you couldn’t figure out why. Now that you are much older, your previous experiences begin to take on meaning and significance. You begin to connect the dots. In youth, we are all prone to presume that we know it all. But as we grow older we realise this…
Dear Dorothy, I am facing a major dilemma in my life. I am 30 years old and in a relationship with a married man. He is in his early fourties with three children. The relationship has been on for about 3 years. A few weeks ago, I confirmed that I am about 6 weeks pregnant with his child. I understand having an affair with a married man is morally wrong, but, I was lonely and desperate for love. I have informed him about my pregnancy and he says he supports any decision I take, but I’m a little nervous to…
Deepa Pullanikkatil, University of Glasgow Every day, people around the world harvest natural products like fungi, plants, bark, flowers, honey and nuts. These non-timber forest products, as they are known, can play an important role – particularly for people living in rural areas. Products like honey and nuts can be sold. Plants and plant fibre can be used to create furniture, cloth and crafts; herbs processed to make herbal remedies and leaves and flowers sold for ornamental uses. All this contributes to income generation and is a valuable resource for alleviating poverty in rural communities. Yet Non-Timber Forest Products (or…
The devastating co-existence of unemployed university graduates and employers who say they cannot find the people with the skills they need shows the disconnect between real life industry needs and the products and qualifications our education system churns out yearly resulting in greater unemployment numbers. It is a ubiquitous fact that skills transform lives, generate prosperity and promote social inclusion. What people know, and what they do with their knowledge, has a major impact on their chances at success. Without the right skills, people are left on the margins of society. To succeed in converting education into better jobs and lives,…

Reading 1 Heb 7:25—8:6 Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them. It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath,…
