How did you fine decision? In your own way it might be different from others but I think decision is taking a preferred preference leaving the much listed needs or wants.
   Now being decisive doesn't make one  good or bad person but actually is working for one's own good.
    Have you ever noticed that some of the most miserable people in the world are those who never made decisions?
If one commit his/her self to being indecisive, imagine the kind of life the person would live.
   You know the middle of a road is the most dangerous place to be. That also implies to live too. Being indecisive is as being in the middle of a road. And that's why most times people when they are in crossroads of life they are scared, what to do, where to go, how to go about life at that time but the best thing to do at that moment is to take a DECISION.
   Make some decisions the moment you that  and works towards towards it, things will fall into place to help you get what you want. Just as the Bible says in James "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways ".
   Too many people go through life not  knowing what they want but feeling sure they don't have it. But the truth is that if one remains indecisive he or she will never grow.
   To cut things short I will say to move from where one is right now is to be decisive to where one would rather be and I say good luck in taking that decision that would change your  life for good.
    And talking decision is not that of someone's own but yours because you will be the one to answer for it and not the person you got it from.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to punish countries that illegally detain US citizens.

The order will give the State Department the power to impose sanctions or take other measures against countries by creating a "state sponsor of wrongful detention" designation.

The White House said the order is designed to "protect US nationals from wrongful detention abroad by authorizing robust responses against foreign governments engaging in such practices".

The US government does not publish the number of Americans detained abroad. The Foley Foundation, an advocacy group, stated that at least 54 Americans were wrongfully detained in 17 countries in 2024.

In a statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the signing an "unprecedented action to impose new consequences on those who wrongfully detain Americans abroad".

Rubio said the designation could lead to penalties including things like economic sanctions and restrictions to visas, foreign assistance and travel for US passport holders.

He added the new designation is modelled after the state sponsor of terrorism classification so "no nation should want to end up on this list".

"Anyone who uses an American as a bargaining chip will pay the price," he said.

The order also applies to non-state actors "controlling significant territory" even if they are not recognised as governments, The White House said.

There is no indication on when the Trump administration would take action against offending countries.

The State Department noted that most detentions or arrests of US nationals abroad happen after legitimate law enforcement incidents or judicial processes.

The White House said the president has secured the release of 72 American detainees.

These include Marc Fogel, an American teacher who was wrongfully detained in a Russian prison, and George Glezmann, who was held by the Taliban in Afghanistan for more than two years.

The Foley Foundation, which was founded to honour journalist James Foley who was kidnapped and killed by ISIS, noted in its 2024 report that cases of wrongful detention accounted for 83% of Americans detained in foreign countries.

During Trump's first term, Congress passed the Robert Levinson Act that stated that the State Department can determine whether an American is being wrongly detained based on several criteria, such as the fairness of the country's judicial system or whether they are being held hostage to extract concessions from Washington DC.

After New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, the fight is on: locals make the case for the city that should be number four.

The United States is renowned for its iconic cities. New York City undoubtedly tops the list as the nation's largest city (8.5 million residents) and one of the world's great fashion, culture and finance capitals. Los Angeles comes in just behind, the US's second-most populous city and the centre of the film industry, gateway to beaches and laid-back lifestyles. The third-largest city, Chicago, was home to the world's first skyscraper and has long vied with New York in a race to build the world's tallest, most impressive buildings.

With the top three seemingly fixed, one question recently set social media aflame: what city deserves the US's fourth spot? Residents from across the country made their case, but a few consistently rose to the top – whether by population, tourism or historical importance. We asked locals what makes their city worthy of the title and why tourists should add it to their itineraries

Ukraine's main government building in Kyiv has been hit for the first time in the war during Russian attacks, the Ukrainian prime minister has said.

Yulia Svyrydenko said the building's roof and upper floors were damaged and a fire ignited "due to an enemy attack".

At least four people were killed in strikes across the country, including a baby and a young woman who died after a nine-storey residential building was hit in Kyiv's Svyatoshynsky district, officials said.

Ukraine's air force reported that a record number of drones and missiles were launched by Russia in the latest nightly attack - more than 800 in total.

According to the air force, nine missiles and 56 drones hit 37 locations, and the downed wreckage fell at eight locations.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the barrage caused damage in the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Odesa, as well as in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions.

"Such killings now, at a time when real diplomacy could have started a long time ago, are a deliberate crime and an attempt to prolong the war," Zelensky said on social media, urging political will from the world to stop the attacks.

Russia's defence ministry said it had carried out strikes on Ukraine's military-industrial complex and transport infrastructure, inflicting damage on weapons and military equipment warehouses.

The Kyiv government building that was hit is also known as the cabinet of ministers building, as it houses the offices of Ukraine's main ministers.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko suggested a drone may have accidentally hit the cabinet building after being intercepted, although the details remained unclear on Sunday.

"In Pechersk district, a fire broke out in a government building as a result of an UAV possibly being shot down," he wrote on Telegram.

This is a new twist in Russia's attacks on Ukraine. Until now, no government building has been hit - the centre of Kyiv is very heavily defended, it has been since the start of the full-scale invasion. So this will shake people.

It is a symbolic strike. It also shows clearly that Russian President Vladimir Putin's talk about being ready for peace is all posturing. He is not stopping. Instead, Russia is intensifying its attacks.

Nepal has ordered a nationwide block on 26 major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, after they failed to register with the Ministry of Communications within a seven-day deadline. Acting on a Supreme Court directive in a contempt case, internet providers were told to restrict access until compliance.

There are difference between champion and the average persons. It is their ability to handle rejections and failures.

Naturally when one falls to the ground he/she is been consoled and is helped to stand up. In life what one should know is that whenever he/she fall or falls in any area of life should try to pick something up.

The person who invented eraser has figured out the human race yeah I just thought it can't only be used on erasing a write up but can be used also in life affairs.

When one  fails that's absolutely the end but to imply the erasing format and continue life.
People aren't rembered by how few times they failed but how often they succeed.

The saddest summary of life contains three description,could have, might have, and should have. All of these results to failure, so look at what you have left, never look at what you have lost.

In summary don't let the fear of failing so much that you refuse to try new things

the fact is that no matter how much the naira may be the price of things will never go down instead it will be going up and up so for me just trade in dolls and that's all

actually is a good thing for couples to check there genotype but the fear of loosing each other is the problem and further the government should make it free for citizens to know there various genotype

I believe in our society today it is a necessity for each partner to know the genotype of his or her partner in turn to continue the relationship or to set apart the relationship   but I most say this back then our forefathers don't have time for running all these test they just go ahead and get married to there beautiful wives and have as many children as there want and everyone is happy so what really changed because this genotype is really disrupting long relationship and causing fear in relationships I really need your opinions on this ....

In the society where I yield from we do prefer data than when someone gives out money to us often because data is been valued as gold and if you don't have data you dare not switch your phone on unless you want to play games on your phone is kinda weird how we value data so much over here and it is also expensive to acquire

one question for you when is the right time and how do you know your right partner is it that easy

Of course we don't practice such in our country it will actually make people to be scared of having a partner it causes fear

What actually happened in that game there could not even score a single goal I don't think Germany is good enough to qualify for the next round of this tournament what's your opinion on this guys
