Under the 1986 Constitution, the president is directly elected by eligible voters to a six-year term, which may be renewed once. Overall, 22 individuals have served as president. On January 22, 2018, George Weah was sworn in as the twenty-fifth and current president.
Under the original 1847 Constitution, the president was elected to a two-year term, which was increased to four years on May 7, 1907. Under this amendment, a new president would serve for eight years and could be re-elected to unlimited four-year terms.
Currently, the president is elected by popular vote to a six-year term and is limited to two terms.
To be eligible for office under the current Constitution, a presidential candidate must:
2017 Liberian general election
General elections were held in Liberia on 10 October 2017, electing the President and House of Representatives. No candidate won a majority in the first round of the presidential vote, so a run-off was held.
The elections are overseen by the National Elections Commission (NEC).
The run-off was held on 26 December. George Weah won the election with 62% of the vote.
Incumbent President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, in office since 2006, is constitutionally barred from running for a third term; the election will thus choose her successor.
Joseph Boakai
Joseph Nyumah Boakai, Sr. (born 30 November 1944) is a Liberian politician. He has been Vice President of Liberia since January 2006, serving under President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
in 2016, Boakai announced his intention to run for the Liberian presidency in the 2017 general election. He is viewed by many as a safe and uncorrupt candidate. He faced Senator and football star George Weah in the second round, but lost the round to Weah.
Oh Na Na Na
"Oh Na Na Na" is a song by Nigerian recording artist Slim Burna. It was released on 1 October 2013 in celebration of Nigeria's 53rd Independence Day Anniversary. The song was produced, mixed and mastered by Slim Burna with co-production by P Jaydino. It premiered on on 28 September 2013.
The song became the first radio top ten hit of Slim Burna's career, entering the "TGIF Chart" at number ten, and eventually reaching the number two position. Burna had initially thought about Nigeria turning 53 on 1 October and wanted to make that day a special one for himself and his fans. After he had recorded "Oh Na Na Na" in September 2013, he thought the song was special and eventually decided to release it on Independence day to celebrate Nigeria at 53. The lyrics compare a Nigerian woman's beauty to that of an Indian and a Brazilian woman. Burna performed the song, as well as "Claro" (from "I'm on Fire"), at the Pre-Carniriv concert on 6 December 2013, at the Liberation Stadium.
On 6 January 2015, a remix of "Oh Na Na Na" featuring Ghanaian rapper was released, in the Portugese language as said from experts. In an interview, Burna said that he "wanted a completely different sound for the remix, and having Edem, Ayzed back me up with their unique contributions just did it for me. They really gave it their best shot and I don't think it would have come out the way it did if I had chose [sic] differently."
Handjob
A handjob is the sexual stimulation or arousal of a male partner's penis by another partner using the hands. It is similar to male masturbation but it is done by someone else instead of by one's self. It is usually done by grabbing the shaft of the penis with one hand and while grabbing the shaft the hand moves up and down, repeatedly retracting the penis until the male reaches orgasm. Stimulation of the scrotum may also be accompanied. It is like fingering which is the sexual stimulation of a female's genitals using the hands and fingers.
Malix
Malix was a municipality of the district of Plessur of the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
On 1 January 2010 the former municipalities of Malix and Parpan merged into the municipality of Churwalden.

Ventilator
A ventilator is a machine which artificially moves air in and out of the lungs of a patient in order to help them breathe if that patient cannot breathe on their own or breathe properly. Some ventilators can also be used in order give patients anesthesia and can be part of an anesthetic machine.
There are different types of ventilators which can work differently, but they all help pump air into and out of the lungs using pressure.
Some types of ventilators require someone else to make them work by hand and help the patient breathe for a short period of time: they are called manual resuscitators.
Bag-valve masks (BMVs) have an oxygen mask which covers the nose and mouth of the patient, a one-way valve attached between the mask and the bag which filters the moving air and prevents the air to be breathed back into the bag, and an inflatable bag which holds the air in and is squeezed by hand. An operator squeezes the bag which forces air into the patient's lungs, and as the hand releases the bag is the patient breathes out into the outer environment and the bag refills itself with outside air. The bag is squeezed and released by hand repeatedly in order to keep the patient breathing.
Amnesia bags is another type of manual resuscitator in which the bag does not refill itself with air as the patient is breathing. Instead, the bag is filled with air or gas beforehand and the bag is either squeezed by hand or the patient can inhale the air or gas inside of bath if they can breathe on their own.
Mechanical ventilators work by themselves without manual operation and are usually controlled by computers, and can be powered by either electricity connected to a wall outlet or battery, or pneumatics without the use of electricity. The air can be moved in and out of the patient by attaching an oxygen mask on the patient or by connecting the ventilator to a breathing tube inserted into the nostrils, the larynx or the trachea. They are used to help the patient breathe for a long period of time.
Positive pressure ventilators work by blowing air from the outside or from an oxygen tank or air tank through a pneumatic reservoir which holds and compressing the air, or through a turbine which turns around and forces the air through a mask or breathing tube and into the patient. As the air is forced into the lungs, the patient would later breathe out through a "patient circuit" with a one-way valve.
On the other hand, a negative pressure ventilator, also known as an "iron lung" or a tank respirator, is a chamber which is enclosed around the patient's chest and lowers the pressure inside the chamber around the chest area to a point in which the pressure inside the chamber is less than the pressure outside allowing the patient to breathe in, and then the pressure inside heightens to a point in which the pressure inside the chamber is greater than the pressure outside allowing the patient to breathe out. This process occurs periodically. Negative pressure ventilators are now considered obsolete and instead positive pressure ventilators are used in its place.
