  A greenhouse is a building with walls and a roof made mainly of transparent or translucent material, like glass or plastic (usually polyethylene or polyvinyl), designed for the in-door cultivation of crops. The frame is usually built with wood or metal (usually aluminum or galvanized steel). Greenhouses are used for the production of vegetables, flowers and fruits. Growing vegetables and fruits in a greenhouse offers a good number of advantages, especially in Africa. The continent is still a net importer of food despite possessing 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land.  Africa can significantly increase its food production with the greenhouse technology. Africa currently accounts for less than 5% of area dedicated to protected agriculture in the world, while China accounts for most of the area dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables in plastic greenhouses. Greenhouses are one of several forms of protected agriculture. The following are the advantages of ...

Maintaining healthy menstrual hygiene is of paramount importance to a woman's general well-being, comfort and health. The United Nations defines menstrual hygiene management as the use of clean menstrual hygiene management products to soak menstrual discharge by women that are changeable in privacy as required, with proper access to water, soap and disposal methods. Menstrual hygiene products are the products used to catch menstrual flow, such as pads, cloths, tampons and menstrual cups.  Lack of access to feminine hygiene products (often caused by poverty) compels some women to use unhealthy menstrual hygiene products. Poor menstrual hygiene threatens a  woman's health by exposing her to bacterial vaginosis, fungal infections, urinary tract infections, infertility and others. A woman's risk of getting cervical cancer also increases if she is repeatedly exposed to reproductive tract infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Contracting UTIs is possible when a woma...

An abortion is dangerous to a woman's health. An abortion is not dangerous when done with a method recommended by the World Health Organization that is appropriate to the duration of the pregnancy, and when done by a qualified medical practitioner.

The concept of entrepreneurship has been defined and described by many in varying ways. So who finally is the entrepreneur that everyone talks of? Research on entrepreneurship and everyday life alludes to housewives starting businesses, reinforcing the unbefitting theory that entrepreneurship is limited to small businesses. For this reason, many fail to understand that most inventions are successful only because they were conceived in an entrepreneurial way. The word entrepreneur comes from a 13 th century French verb, “entreprendre”, which means to undertake or do something. This definition has been gradually redefined by economists by giving more attributes to this definition. In the 16 th century, it was related to business. By the 18 th century, risk was added to the definition, acknowledging the fact that a business venture had no profit guarantee.  In the 19 th century, the need for skills was acknowledged in the definition. These skills are today called b...
