The
Family / Top 10 Dangers Of Dating A Married Man by Ibraheem1905: 10:16am On Feb 19, 2017
The rate at which young ladies date married men nowadays is alarming. The question is why do people do what they do? Why would anyone be comfortable with snatching another woman's husband?

Many ladies often claim that married men provide the best care, affection and support. Others believe married men display enormous maturity and as such, there is often little or no drama as obtained with dating a single guy.

For any woman dating a married man or nurturing the idea, I tell them that the gain, if any, is not worth the stress and danger involved. Going out with a married man in most cases ends in frustration and heartache. Its end is often devastating and leaves people involved with emotional bruises that they may never recover from.

Any lady who is eager and desperate to build a lifelong relationship should steer clear of married men. Simply put, a wise lady never dates a another woman's husband.

From the start, dating a married man might look all exciting and beautiful, bear in mind, however, that you are simply being instrumental to the destruction of a couple's home. Here are 10 dangers of dipping your feet in the sand of dating a man who is already married.

1.You Waste Your Life
In greater percentage of cases, a married man never leaves his wife. He may tell you that he will soon divorce his wife to be with you and just need a little more time to perfect things. He keeps requesting more time and you keep granting, expecting that he will leave his wife to be with you, but that never gets to happen. In turn, you waste precious time that could have been spent in building a true affair with a another single man. I need not tell you that time wasted is life wasted.

You simply end up loosing out completely, because when he has had a fill of the cookie he came for, a married man returns to his wife while you go back to point zero.

2. Trust Issues
Both of you cannot trust each other. How could you trust a man who is already cheating on his wife with you? While you are aware that he is not being honest with his wife, he is probably preoccupied with the thoughts of you also seeing another man.

3. Sharing Him With Another Woman
Frankly, you are not the one sharing him with another woman, it's the wife sharing his husband and father of is kids with you. After the hot romance and sweet words, he returns home to meet the same woman he might have rubbished in your ears. The thoughts of having him sleep in the arms of another man could be destabilizing.

While we are comfortable with sharing any material thing in this part of the world, it's often nerve wrecking to share a man you are emotionally attached to.

4. Guilt
Despite the adrenaline rush prompting you to continue an a fair with a married man, feelings of guilt crosses your mind from time to time. Unless you have murdered your conscience, guilt sets in whenever you think of the damage you are doing to his wife and family. Would you want another woman to treat you the same way? In this case, you are the "other woman" depriving the wife and her kids of their father's time. The guilt just never goes away.

5. He Cannot Meet Your Needs
One of the reasons ladies give when you ask while they choose to date married men, is that he meets their needs. Although a married man can supply romance and sometimes, material things, he cannot meet all your needs. An husband is meant to spend time with his wife and kids, so he cannot be there for you at every of your trying moments.

Do not expect him to abandon his family on holidays and special seasons like Easter and Christmas period. No amount of money can purchase that.

6. Emotional Heartbreak
Married men prefer to keep their extramarital affairs physical rather than committing emotionally. Should you become emotionally attached during the period of dating a married man, be ready to have your heart shred into pieces when he bids you farewell.

The emotional damage is a two-way process, you get heartbroken while the wife and his kids become emotionally disturbed if they do not enjoy their father's attention anymore.

Romance / How To Deal With Sexual Harassment At Work Place by Ibraheem1905: 9:22am On Feb 18, 2017
This has been a very sensitive topic over time and is most often addressed to women who are always the victims of this dilemma. Sexual harassment at workplace is a common occurrence, in fact study had revealed that generally the female folks are subjected to one form of sexual harassment or the other at their places of work mostly from their male counterpart.

It is not entirely surprising that women go through this problem daily basically owing to the fact that men been sexual predators will always want to explore every means of cajoling their female colleagues into sexual relationships.

It is quite rare that men themselves suffers from sexual harassment at workplace and so this post is basically taking a look at some elementary ways of helping women deal with the problem of workplace sexual molestation been that they are most affected by it.

HERE ARE 4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK PLACE

1. Cover Up Properly.

I would be tempted to say here that almost 50% of women who are sexually molested at workplace are responsible for initiating the problem themselves. Indecent dressing exposing sensitive part of their bodies attracts preying eyes. As a lady, you will not expect men not to molest you sexually if you wear a short skimpy skirt to work. Covering up properly and dressing decently is most important in warding off potential randy male folk. I do not think there is any culture on earth that promotes indecent dressing hence, it is very vital you cover up properly during working hours.


2. Do Not Work in Isolation.

Working in groups or staying around your colleagues can help to prevent anyone coming around to harass you. The open space working environment is usually most preferable to an enclosed office. However, if you are working in a male dominated environment, it is advisable as lady to ensure that you do not isolate yourself as much as possible. Always try to stick with the team.

Just like any other profession, the teaching profession requires special skills especially in the area of effective communication and human resource management. These skills are very important and are always watched out for during an interview for most teaching positions.

To land a good teaching job nowadays is quite difficult and is even so for professional teachers. Lack of adequate preparation for a teaching interview can deny a qualified and even an experience candidate the job.



To have a successful interview for a teaching job requires thorough preparation. A good preparation may include revising hand few teachers’ interview questions which are commonly asked interview. This post however, takes a look at some sample questions that are usually asked by interviewers for a teaching job position. Always have it at the back of your mind that to make it through a teaching job interview successfully irrespective of what grade you have applied to teach requires a lot of hard work in terms of preparing for your interview test.

Here are some frequent and routine teachers interview questions and answer tips needed to be familiarized with before taking the stage.


1. Tell us about yourself

This obviously from my experience always seems to be the number one on list of a commonly asked teacher interview questions that a candidate should expect to answer with less difficulty. In answering this type of question it is vital you begin by giving a brief insight into your academics and educational background, the subject area you have taught highlighting its relevance to your gained degree and the wealth of experience you have gathered over the years in the teaching profession.
What practical methods do you employ in teaching to required standards?

This teacher interview questions typically depends on the level of teaching standards set by your country’s ministry of education. In some countries there are disparity between the standards set by the public and private schools respectively. Whatever the case, it is always important to emphasis your commitment to upholding standards set by your country’s national or states ministries in charge of education to your interviewer. If asked to write a lesson plan, ensure you use the standard lesson plan format demanded by the state’s school board.


2. What experience do you have teaching kids (Grade 1 – 3)?

This is always a tricky teaching job interview questions that should be carefully answered. Considering the tender age of the children your interviewer requires you to have had previous experience working with younger children knowing that kids require extra care with special attention. Highlight the previous roles and the experiences you have gained working with children of this age range to your interviewer. If you do not have any, tell your interviewer you are very passionate about the well-being of children and that you are willing to put your passion into practice.

You can also tell you interviewer that you prefer counselling your students while setting strict rules for them to obey the rules and regulation enacted by the school authorities. Do not mention in any teacher job interviewer that you flog, scold or scare students with wipe. Also do not tell your interview that you refer cases of discipline to the principal as you do not want to portray to the interviewer the inability to handle problem or conflict at your workplace.


5. How do you ensure that students with slower learning abilities measure up with your teachings?

Tell your interviewer that you balance up your teaching methodology by ensuring that you are neither too fast nor too slow and that you use the simplest learning tools and instructional materials in administering your teaching. You may also want to let your interviewer know that it is your responsibilities as the teacher to ensure that all your students fully understand the subject before you wind down your class by asking questions to ascertain their grasps of the topic.

Try to arrange your travel logistics ahead if the venue for the interview is far so that you do not encounter hiccups on your interview day.

3. Shabby Dressing and unkempt look.

Most people do not give much attention to their outlook when embarking on an interview. Your physical outlook matters a lot in defining you are inwardly. It is therefore important that before going for an interview you appear clean, sharp and professional. The general recommended dressing for all interviews is the English suit and tie unless otherwise stated. Ladies can appear on a clean ironed suit with a nicely made hairdo.

5. Inability to ask Your Interviewer Questions.

One way of making your interviewer know that you are interested about their organization and that you did your homework in terms of researching about their organization is by asking questions that relates to the organization.

When it comes to marriage, what you don’t know really can hurt you.

Whether because of shyness, lack of interest or a desire to preserve romantic mystery, many couples do not ask each other the difficult questions that can help build the foundation for a stable marriage, according to relationship experts.

In addition to wanting someone with whom they can raise children and build a secure life, those considering marriage now expect their spouses to be both best friend and confidant. These romantic-comedy expectations, in part thanks to Hollywood, can be difficult to live up to.

Sure, there are plenty of questions couples can ask of each other early in the relationship to help ensure a good fit, but let’s face it: most don’t.

“If you don’t deal with an issue before marriage, you deal with it while you’re married,” said Robert Scuka, the executive director of the National Institute of Relationship Enhancement. It can be hard to keep secrets decade after decade, and reticence before the wedding can lead to disappointments down the line.
The following questions, intimate and sometimes awkward, are designed to spark honest discussions and possibly give couples a chance to spill secrets before it’s too late.


1. Did your family throw plates, calmly discuss issues or silently shut down when disagreements arose?

A relationship’s success is based on how differences are dealt with, said Peter Pearson, a founder of the Couples Institute. As we are all shaped by our family’s dynamic, he said, this question will give you insight into whether your partner will come to mimic the conflict resolution patterns of his or her parents or avoid them.


2. Will we have children, and if we do, will you change diapers?

With the question of children, it is important to not just say what you think your partner wants to hear, according to Debbie Martinez, a divorce and relationship coach. Before marrying, couples should honestly discuss if they want children. How many do they want? At what point do they want to have them? And how do they imagine their roles as parents? Talking about birth-control methods before planning a pregnancy is also important, said Marty Klein, a sex and marriage therapist.


3. Will our experiences with our exes help or hinder us?

Bradford Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, pointed to research his organization has sponsored that indicated that having had many serious relationships can pose a risk for divorce and lower marital quality. (This can be because of a person having more experience with serious breakups and potentially comparing a current partner unfavorably with past ones.) Raising these issues early on can help, Dr. Wilcox said. Dr. Klein said people are “hesitant to explicitly talk about their past” and can feel retroactively jealous or judgmental. “The only real way to have those conversations in an intimate and productive way and loving way is to agree to accept that the other person had a life before the couple,” he said.


4. How important is religion? How will we celebrate religious holidays, if at all?

If two people come from different religious backgrounds, is each going to pursue his or her own religious affiliation? Dr. Scuka has worked with couples on encouraging honest discussion around this issue as the executive director of the National Institute of Relationship Enhancement. What is more, spouses are especially likely to experience conflict over religious traditions when children are added to the mix, according to Dr. Wilcox. If the couple decide to have children, they must ask how the children’s religious education will be handled. It is better to have a plan, he said.


5. Is my debt your debt? Would you be willing to bail me out?

It’s important to know how your partner feels about financial self-sufficiency and whether he or she expects you to keep your resources separate, said Frederick Hertz, a divorce lawyer. Disclosing debts is very important. Equally, if there is a serious discrepancy between your income and your partner’s, Dr. Scuka recommended creating a basic budget according to proportional incomes. Many couples fail to discuss sharing finances, though it is crucial, he said.


6. What’s the most you would be willing to spend on a car, a couch, shoes?

Couples should make sure they are on the same page in terms of financial caution or recklessness. Buying a car is a great indicator, according to Mr. Hertz. Couples can also frame this question around what they spend reckless amounts of money on, he said.


7. Can you deal with my doing things without you?

Going into marriage, many people hope to keep their autonomy in certain areas of their life at the same time they are building a partnership with their spouse, according to Seth Eisenberg, the president of Pairs (Practical Application of Intimate Relationship Skills). This means they may be unwilling to share hobbies or friends, and this can lead to tension and feelings of rejection if it isn’t discussed. Couples may also have different expectations as to what “privacy” means, added Dr. Klein, and that should be discussed, too. Dr. Wilcox suggested asking your partner when he or she most needs to be alone.


8. Do we like each other’s parents?

As long as you and your partner present a united front, having a bad relationship with your in-laws can be manageable, Dr. Scuka said. But if a spouse is not willing to address the issue with his or her parents, it can bode very poorly for the long-term health of the relationship, he said. At the same time, Dr. Pearson said, considering the strengths and weaknesses of your parents can illuminate future patterns of attachment or distancing in your own relationship.


9. How important is sex to you?

Couples today expect to remain sexually excited by their spouse, an expectation that did not exist in the past, according to Mr. Eisenberg. A healthy relationship will include discussion of what partners enjoy about sex as well as how often they expect to have it, Dr. Klein said. If people are looking to experience different things through sex — pleasure versus feeling young, for example — some negotiation may be required to ensure both partners remain satisfied.

Romance / 10 Brutally Honest Things Everyone Should Know Before Getting Married by Ibraheem1905: 6:05pm On Jan 04, 2017
Marriage is a wonderful thing and everyone knows a real marriage needs work, compassion and compromise to be successful. However, with divorce rates at a record high, how much do we really know when entering into married life?

Without fully knowing what married life entails and the reality that we are faced with once the wedding is over and life carries on, we are often left to face any difficulties without the full knowledge of how marriage affects us and can lead to self-blame and ultimately the break up of the marriage if things don’t quite go according to how we envisioned them to be.

If you’ve just entered into married life or you are just about to, here are 10 honest secrets about marriage that you should know.

1. That First Flush of Love Won’t Always Last

A pretty obvious one that you may have heard countless times. But how many people give up on marriage because they feel the spark has disappeared? It’s often hard to imagine that love you feel for someone will ever go away but sometimes you have to fall out of love to find out what the real meaning of love is which isn’t necessarily infatuation and a Hollywood happily ever after.

Be prepared to reach a stage that feels a lot different to the beginning and know that it doesn’t mean your marriage has failed.

2. Love Grows In Different Ways

With that in mind, we need to understand that love grows in different ways and can come in many forms. You don’t need to be infatuated with someone to be in love with them or have a successful marriage.

Real love takes time and effort and needs a lot of cultivation to allow it to flourish. People often believe they are either in love or they’re not, dismissing any of the stages in-between. Let the marriage take its own course and don’t over-analyse bad patches or wonder whether you love your partner enough when things may start to change.

3. The Attraction Won’t Always Be There

Make peace with the fact that you may not always be attracted to your partner. Physical attraction is important in our image-conscious society and often if we don’t find someone attractive then it can’t work out. In a marriage this can bring phases of doubt about whether this means we don’t love them anymore.

Attraction levels can change in long or even short periods of time so don’t panic and question your relationship whenever this comes up.

4. You will Need To Show Love Even When You Don’t Want To

Things aren’t always going to go smoothly – that we all expect. However, it’s easy to revert to almost childish ways when our partner is perceived as being difficult or hurtful in some way. When we’re in those sorts of situations, our feelings of love can wane and we are reluctant to show it but for a marriage to survive long-term we need to swallow our pride and still show acts of love even when we don’t want to. So make them that cup of tea after an argument or still do the errand they asked you to do.

Small acts of pettiness can cause all sorts of resentments both with yourself and the other person which only etches away at your unit. Always remember you’re a team.

5. Married Life Is A Journey

Once you’re married you may feel like you’ve achieved the ultimate goal but marriage is challenging and there to help you grow and flourish, not just as two people but for yourself.

There will be tough times that will be designed to trigger every negative and positive emotion you have within you but those emotions are there to build you up, not knock you down. Done right, you can reap the rewards marriage has to offer and can teach you countless ways to grow as a person.

There may be times when you take every ounce of you not to walk out of the door and give up. But there’s so much we can learn from going right to the edge and bringing ourselves back.

6. Just Because A Marriage Needs Work Doesn’t Mean It’s Doomed

If you grew up with parents who had a loving marriage then you are more likely to carry those expectations into your own marriage but be prepared that not all marriages are the same. If you compare your marriage to others it will only cause stress and disappointment if yours doesn’t match up – but this doesn’t mean your marriage is any less or is failing.

More often than not, other people’s marriages may look perfect from the outside but very rarely are. Try to keep this in mind when it comes a time that you feel your marriage needs work.

7. Having Children Will Cause Stress On The Marriage

We all know having children is a wonderful yet difficult period in a marriage. It will put a strain on even the best of marriages so it’s important to expect this and act accordingly. Make sure you nurture and find time for the marriage outside of having children to remind yourself why marriage was important to you in the first place. Ignoring the marriage is very easy to do when a child is taking up your time and effort so counteract this by making extra effort to spend time together.

Romance / 11 Obvious Signs He Wants To Marry You by Ibraheem1905: 5:51pm On Jan 04, 2017
When in a long-term relationship, sometimes it gets difficult to decipher the subtle signs that a significant other is sending. If you think that your partner is entertaining the idea of marriage, look for these signs to clue you in.

1. He is Making Future Plans
Guys don’t bring up things that they really would rather not talk about. But when a man brings up future plans, it is an indication that he would like to know your opinion on them, and your opinion does carry weight with him.

2. You are Invited to Every Occasion
You have become his plus one to all special events and family holidays. This means that he sees you playing a huge part in the big picture of his life. He wants to introduce you to his family and make you feel like you are a part of it.

3. He is Punctual
If your man is always on time, he is definitely into you. When a man is in a serious relationship, he will make sure that his woman does not have to wait for him. He will let you know if he is running late and he won’t ever leave you hanging

4. There’s an Increase in Touch
It will almost feel like when you first started dating. Your man will be way more touchy-feely, touching your arm while you’re cooking or taking the time to massage your neck while you’re working.

5. He Misses You
You will feel like nothing can get in the way when your man has made the decision to make time to see you. When he makes a promise about plans, he will follow through, and this is a great sign. On the flip-side, if he is always calling to break plans, this means you are not at the forefront of his mind. Someone who does this is not feeling committed at all.

6. He Only Sees You
He will not have a wandering eye that will make you feel jealous or uncomfortable. Your man will be focused on you even in a crowded restaurant.

7. He Wants to Live Together
When a man wants to share his space voluntarily and not only as a way to save money, he’s thinking toward the future. This can also happen if he suggests opening a bank account together or getting a pet. Moving in together is one of the most obvious signs he is ready for marriage.

Romance / 18 Things You Should Never Put In Your Vagina by Ibraheem1905: 5:44pm On Jan 04, 2017
You've all heard horror stories of that one friend's-cousin's-classmate who put some random object inside her vagina during a heated moment and ended up in the hospital with an embarrassing story—and maybe even some serious physical damage. So what's actually dangerous to put in there? We talked to a few health professionals to break it down. Here's what to steer clear of...


1. Douches
Some women like to use douches to clean the vagina, but in actuality, this is totally unnecessary. It can also be dangerous because, according to Dr. Alyssa Dweck, M.D., a gynecologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, it can cause "a horrible imbalance of the typical bacteria that is supposed to be in the vagina and actually cause an infection." Douching is a known culprit when it comes to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and bacterial vaginosis. If you're worried about keeping your vagina clean, the best thing you can do is wash your vulva with soap and water when you take a shower, being careful not to put any soap inside your vagina. See a doctor if you think something smells off. Ultimately, your vagina is self-cleaning, so it doesn't need your help to make it cleaner.

2. Steam
Yes, steaming your vagina at the spa is totally a trend these days, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. "They sit on a specific type of spa with no underwear, on special chairs that have herbal infused steam coming out of them, and they steam their bottom," shares Dweck. "And while any sort of warm treatment could feel good and enhance blood supply to the area, we've seen some burns come out of this and irritation from the types of herbs, so I would use significant caution of that. I'm not sure how effective this is to do anything anyway."

3. Tea tree oil
"If you're using household oil as a lubricant, you need high-grade quality oil, not what you use in your kitchen to fry food," says Dr. Raquel Dardik, M.D., a gynecologist and Associate Professor of Gynecology at NYU Langone Medical Center. "And you want to use oil that is pH neutral, so for example, almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, probably okay." What you don't want to use is tea tree oil, which can cause scary chemical burns: "it's incredibly caustic and will cause a vaginal burn, so probably not okay."


4. Chocolate syrup
"All that stuff has sugar which will change the bacteria and yeast proportions which can cause infections. Those substances can also be irritating to the vaginal skin, so it might seem like a good idea at the time, but you may have either vaginal irritation or a vaginal infection afterwards," says Dardik.

5. Whipped cream
"I would not recommend putting it inside the vagina," says Dweck. "It's really tough to get this stuff out, especially if it's causing a reaction. Fair enough for sexual play if you want to put this stuff on the vulva or other portions of the body and get an erotic experience—that's fine. But I wouldn't advise putting it inside."

6. Vaseline

This is occasionally thought of as an easy form of lubricant, but according to Dweck, Vaseline or any other type of petroleum product can actually be source of infection in the vagina.

7. Yeast infection home remedies, like yogurt-soaked tampons
According to Dweck, "Sometimes when people have a yeast infection and they feel like [yogurt on a tampon] is a more natural way to treat it. Probably not a great idea. Bacteria and yeast love dark, moist places so I think that could be causing of infection." If you suspect you have a yeast infection, get checked out by a doctor and if she gives her okay, treat it with Monistat, an easy over-the-counter treatment, instead of yogurt.

8. Fruits and vegetables
For starters, the old wives' tale is a lie: vegetables cannot take root inside your vagina and grow. There are some major concerns with putting veggies in there, though, according to Dardik. "Vegetables have pesticides, so you're putting pesticides in your vagina which I don't really recommend, and you can have them break off and have little bits and pieces that stay there for rather unhealthy amounts of time which, again, I don't recommend. But nothing takes root, it'll just rot."

9. Anything you've just used for butt stuff and haven't yet cleaned
"We see 'vaginal pH havoc,' if you will, break out from [using a toy in the vagina that has just been used for anal play]," says Dweck. "If you want to use a toy in the anal area, first of all, remember that it has to have some sort of a retrieval device, a string or something along that line. My husband happens to be a colon and rectal surgeon, so I hear of toys getting stuck in the colon because there is nothing to remove it. If you want to switch back and forth between vaginal and anal play then I would definitely wash the toy in between, and you may want to use a condom on some of the toys as well."

10. Any sharp objects
"The blood supply to the inside of the vagina is so rich that even the smallest cut can cause incredible amounts of bleeding and although it's a forgiving area and typically will heal, that's not a chance that you really want to take," says Dweck.

11. A hair brush handle
"I can only imagine a handle getting stuck inside the vagina or some trauma being caused, so I can't really condone that," Dweck insists.

12. Alcohol-soaked tampons
"I've heard of the practice of putting alcohol on a tampon and putting it into the vagina for advanced absorption and getting a buzz off of that," says Dweck. "I would say that sounds like it would be horribly uncomfortable and can cause damage to the vaginal mucous so I definitely wouldn't advise that."

Health / 4 Ways To Loose Fat Belly Fast by Ibraheem1905: 6:50pm On Jan 03, 2017
Fat belly before we talk about how to lose belly fat, let me quickly let you know that overweight is not necessarily a health problem. Fat becomes a problem to the body when the fat is build around your waistline, belly or inside your arteries. And there are some many life threaten diseases that are associated with these can of fats. Especially the fats loaded in your belly. Diseases like hypertension, diabetics, stroke, heart failure and many more.

In some part of the world having a “pot belly” belly fat is a sign of been wealthy. But the truth is that it is a sign and symptoms of different kinds of diseases.
That is why i want to talk about it on this blog post and also suggest possible ways to lose belly fat fast.

1 Avoid sugar and sugar loaded drinks
I know some persons will fight me for this but the truth is that added sugar is not healthy. Expert says it can affect the health metabolism of the body negatively.

This is how it works, when you eat too much sugar which contain glucose and fructose, the liver which is responsible to metabolized the sugar will burn it into fats because there is an amount of sugar it can work on. And these fats are stored in different parts of the body especially the belly.

The first step to eliminate that belly fat is to decide on how to reduce the sugar in your diet. This can be done by checking the label of foods and drinks you buy to know the amount of sugar in them. Also reduce the amount of soft drinks and fruit juice you drink.

2. Eating of protein is better
When it comes to loosing belly fat in long term, i will recommend eating of protein. The type of protein i am recommending here is not the protein gotten from meat because that is also source of fat. It has over 70 percent fats.

Protein from fish, seafood, legumes, nuts, and some whole grains will help the body reduce belly fats in a long term strategy.

There are many ways protein can help the body reduce belly fat.
it can reduce cravings by over 50 percent.
it has the ability to boost metabolism by over 90 percent calories in a day.
it has the ability to work on belly fat in particular.

Education / 9 Tips To Boost Your Performance On The Day Of Examination by Ibraheem1905: 6:10pm On Jan 03, 2017
After attending classes and taking lectures or studying hard and preparing adequately, the day of the examination has finally come. While it may seem like everything is in order there are still tiny mistakes that needs to be avoided before and during the examination that can greatly affect your performance.

No matter how hard you prepare for an examination, it is possible that your performance might not reflect the hard work spent in preparing for it. Here are 9 tips to boost your performance on the day of examination.

1. Keep the date and time in mind to avoid confusing them.
A lot of people actually confuse or completely forget the date or time of an examination, it is safer to just note it down on the calender or set a reminder a week to in order not to miss the date and time.

2. Endeavor to wake up early on the day of the examination.
Get enough rest the night before and wake up early, this gives you enough time to get dressed and puts you in the right mindset to excel, without rushing to keep to time.

3. Eat a healthy breakfast.
For no reason should you skip breakfast, at least not today. A balanced breakfast to help refresh your brain is ideal. Completely avoid anything that makes you uncomfortable, in order to avoid distractions.

4. Double check to make sure you packed everything.
Essentials such as stationery, id, letters or required documents to be presented are to be doubled checked to ensure that they are on you. Better safe than sorry.

5. Be at the venue with plenty of time to spare.
No need to wait till its few minutes to begin the examination before you arrive the venue. You never can tell what you might encounter on the way there or on arriving just before. In order to avoid unforeseen hitches, try and arrive at least an hour before the examination begins.

Education / 5 Most Underrated Courses In Nigerian Tertiary Institutions by Ibraheem1905: 1:10pm On Dec 31, 2016
There have been series of arguments about the superiority of some courses in Nigerian Tertiary institutions: some students feel their course of study is more important and special than others. Don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you with my opinion about that-maybe I will put that forward another day.

Some courses, students or departments in our schools have been facing this inferiority tag. Because of this, some lose interest in their course or ashamed but we still have the proud ones who don’t care. I still don’t know what people see wrong with these courses that they tend to underrate but here is the list:

The 5 Most Underrated Courses in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are


1. History

People don’t just see reasons why someone will go and spend four years or more to study past events. History students are always tagged archaic; their discussions and studies are always based on passed dates and events. You might be tempted to feel superior to someone who all what he has to offer is events that happened even before Christ (BC) in this 21st century.


2. Agriculture

Agriculture students are popularly called “farmers”. I don’t know why people look down on this course? Maybe because you always see them in campus with farming tools and in their farm. I am sure others undermine them because they are naive about the fortune they can make with the knowledge of the course. People are going back to Agriculture and embracing it daily, so I believe this should be out of this list soon.


3. Nigerian Languages

“Hey babe! What Course are you studying in school?” and her reply was “Yoruba Language”. My friend bursted into laughter telling me why didn’t she just go to a typical village and mingle with the villagers to learn their language, instead of coming to school. Students studying Nigerian Languages faces this downgrade almost every day in school.

Health / 5 Obvious Signals That Your Body Needs Help by Ibraheem1905: 1:01pm On Dec 31, 2016
Here are the key signals that warn and inform us about bad health:

5 Obvious Signals Your Body Needs Help


1. Bad Feet

Feet are an important body part that can tell you a lot about your condition. Examine the skin of your feet and make sure that it is well-hydrated and smooth enough. There plenty of issues that may cause dry and cracked skin. If your feet show the signs of dermatitis, eczema, allergic reactions or simply dry skin, then you are extremely vulnerable to fungal infections. Infections usually develop much faster if the skin does not produce oil. Also, warm and moist skin is the perfect environment to catch all kind of skin infections. Have you ever been told that you have athlete’s foot? If yes, then avoid using petroleum jelly as well as various other moisturizers since they will never solve the problem. Of course, cracked feet are especially prone to infections. Always take care of your feet and maintain them clean and dry at all times. Put on fresh and dry socks and shoes. Opt for footwear and sock made with natural material, Do not wear synthetic stuff. Wear shoes with open toes in summer. Before applying any sort of treatment against athlete’s foot, consult a specialist.


2. Yellow Tinge on Your Skin

If you have noticed a yellowish tinge to your eyes and skin, then it might mean that you have some sort of health issue. Whether it is something serious or less severe, talk to your doctor and try to find out what it is exactly that causes this phenomenon. In some instances a yellowish tinge might mean that you have problems with your liver. It can be either hepatitis or jaundice. Again, we suggest you should talk to a specialist and ask for professional help. Babies that are preterm can suffer from infant jaundice. It is a common condition that happens to babies whose liver is not yet developed enough to wash away bilirubin in the blood.


3. White Rings around Corneas in Eyes

Whitish rings around the cornea of the eye are called arus senillis. It’s not a big deal if you are a person over 30. If you are still young yet have white rings around the cornea, then you probably have high cholesterol. Do not ignore the issue and try to resolve it as soon as possible if you are not yet 30 years old. Do not try to lie to yourself or hide the symptoms – the sooner you see your doctor, the sooner you will know what causes the whitish rings. No doubt vision is essential so take care of it.

Health / 9 Facts About Premature Ejaculation That You Don't Know by Ibraheem1905: 11:25am On Dec 31, 2016
Premature Ejaculation affects a large number of men across varied age groups. The condition which is characterized by decreasing or no ejaculatory control within a minute or less of vaginal penetration can have far reaching psychological consequences and can scar a man’s sexual confidence. custom essay writing service.

The International Society for Sexual Medicine uses two criteria for establishing premature ejaculation:
a) Ejaculation which either happens always or nearly always within a minute or less of vaginal penetration
b) Inability to control ejaculatory response during all or nearly all vaginal penetrations

Note: In the below article, PE means Premature Ejaculation

1. Premature Ejaculation Is Not A Disease
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding PE is that it is a sickness or disease affecting certain men only. Nothing can be far from the truth. It is a well established fact that even the most healthy males can and do experience PE at some point. While in some men the condition is a one time occurrence, in others it can happen a few times. Others yet might suffer from the more acute state of PE in which there is little or no control over the time it takes to ejaculate; which is typically within less than a minute of vaginal penetration. Numerous studies have clearly indicated that PE can have both biological and psychological triggers.

2. Premature Ejaculation Is A Common Condition
It has been estimated that more than seventy percent males experience PE (also known as rapid ejaculation) at some point while nearly twenty percent males between the ages of 18 – 59 suffer from regular PE. In some cases, lack of sexual activity can also leave a man overly anxious about having s-x. Even among healthy males with an active s-x life, PE is not uncommon as per- performance anxiety can lower the ejaculatory threshold and hamper what should otherwise be a pleasurable encounter for both individuals.

3. Premature Ejaculation Is Not A Purely Psychological Condition
Another common misconception about PE is that it is a purely psychological condition. Anxiety, stress, physical exhaustion and mental fatigue, depression etc., can all lead to PE. However, in a lot of cases biological conditions such as an oversensitive glans penis and an enlarged prostrate can cause PE. If PE is an on-going condition or if it is affecting your relationship(s) then seeking professional help is always a good idea.

4. Consumption Of Certain Substances Does Not Necessarily Stump Premature Ejaculation
S-x enhancers such as certain pills and drugs, alcoholic cocktails, wine, chocolates among other man-made aphrodisiacs can heighten sexual pleasure as these substances work by lowering inhibitions of the mind which results in relaxatio of the body. In case anxiety is the underlying cause of PE, these might help to a certain extent as they can help the mind relax which in turn can relax the body. Certain anti-depressant drugs have been known to help reduce PE. However, in-case PE has other biological triggers then ingesting these will not help. Substance abuse even in a healthy male with no sexual dysfunctions can lead to far greater problems such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, inability to o----m, among other side effects.

5. Mental Distraction And Diversion Are Not Permanent Solutions To Premature Ejaculation
A common myth shared by many men is that mental distraction and diverting the mind from the sexual act can effectively delay ejaculation. While this can delay PE in some men,
it is not a “one-pill works for all men” kind of an option. If your PE is not caused by a physical problem, then learning to control your body responses and urges will work much better for you.

Family / 10 Smart Steps To Help You Get Over Your Crush by Ibraheem1905: 5:17pm On Dec 29, 2016
Crushing over someone is like loving the impossible or imagining for something almost impossible to be possible. Crushing is like an emotional prison where you are arrested by love. Some people Infatuate but misconstrue it as crush. Either of the two, I’ll give you some steps to get over with your crush.

These steps, though they are for the girls, guys can also use them for their own good.

1. Realization:

The hardest part about getting over your crush is realizing that he doesn’t like you the same way that you like him. The realization might be the first step, but it’s the hardest step to take.
While you may like the guy, while you may even love him, if he doesn’t feel the same, you can’t force it – no matter how much you try to.

2. Admit you have a crush:

Once you’ve come to the realization that he might not have the same feelings you have for him, you’ve got to admit that you have a crush.
I know it can be hard girls, but even if you just stand in front of your mirror and admit to yourself that you have a crush.
State your feelings out loud. You don’t have to tell anyone else how you feel, but verbalizing your problem out loud — even if you’re the only person in the room — can help it seem real and approachable.


3. Accept the situation:

You’ve admitted that you have a crush and even though it’s far from the ideal situation, try to make steps towards accepting the situation. Try not to be stubborn about it or be in denial of what’s really going on. Perhaps the two of you aren’t as compatible as you first thought. You might even find later on that it was a good thing that your crush never turned into more. This is not failure. There are times, though, when perseverance morphs into desperation and stupidity. Chasing an impossible crush is one of those times. Let it go.


4. Don’t take it personal:

Just because he doesn’t have feelings for you, it is not something that you can take personal. Learning to get over your crush might not be easy, but it isn’t a personal indictment.
A guy can’t control his feelings just like you can’t control your feelings. Imagine if a guy likes you, but you have absolutely no feelings for him – don’t take it personally.

5. Avoid anger

Taking personal and being angry are somewhat similar but differ. Don’t turn your crush into anger – you’ll still be thinking about him and obsessing about him, just in a different way. It may feel good to bash him to your friends and to tear him apart for everything he’s ever done wrong, but in the end it’s not a great solution. Some people just aren’t meant to be together and getting angry about it isn’t going to change anything.

6. Do a reflection

When you are trying to get over your crush, why not take the time to reflect? Did you act differently around him? Did you scare him off? Was there something that you did? You want to reflect on everything and all of the interaction that you’ve had – just for a little while, don’t dwell because you don’t want to dwell on something that will never happen for days and days, but just reflect.

Health / 3 Easy Ways To Boost Concentration And Focus by Ibraheem1905: 12:14am On Dec 23, 2016
Our lives tend to be busy and full of distractions, which is why it’s so important to stay focused and keep your sights on the end goals. Here are the most effective ways to maintain concentration and give your healthy lifestyle a boost at the same time.


1. Healthy diet, healthy mind

What you put into your body affects what you’ll get back out again, which is why you should aim for a well-balanced diet that contains a variety of healthy foods. Portion size is important, as eating too much or too little can greatly hinder your focus and drive.

The drinks you choose are just as crucial – we recommend making your own natural juices rather than buying energy drinks. Pick ingredients that are rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants to oxygenate your blood, which will improve circulation while helping to improve your brain power and muscles.

2. Discover meditation

Just 10 minutes a day of peaceful meditation could help reduce stress and channel concentration. It should help you feel less anxious, while giving you the motivation you need to succeed.

A 2014 study found meditation is more effective at helping the brain process thoughts and emotions than simply taking a rest. As a result, the participants were better equipped to cope with stress, meaning their overall health was also enhanced.

Health / 11 Ways To Deal With Depression In Your 20s by Ibraheem1905: 3:44pm On Dec 21, 2016
Being a 20-something isn’t easy. On the one hand, the period between ages 18 and 29 is the best ever. It’s that time when you get to develop a sense of independence in college, start a new job, scout out the dating scene, or head off to new cities. On the other hand, it’s a time often characterized by financial debt, romantic misadventures, loneliness, and a sense of uncertainty about who we are and why we’re here. So it’s not surprising that people in their late teens and 20s are especially vulnerable to feelings of depression.

The positive news is that these emotions are pretty common and typically pass by the time people hit 30. But depression can still be a serious issue that often requires some kind of treatment. Here’s how to address those feelings when they pop up.
What You Need to Know

At one time, most people didn’t experience their first depressive episode until their late 40s or 50s; today, depression typically first appears around age 25. And while about nine percent of the American adult population suffers from some type of depression, that number is closer to 11 percent among people ages 18 to 24.

Today’s 20-somethings are going through a number of psychosocial and biological experiences that make them especially vulnerable to depression. For one thing, says Meg Jay, Ph.D., a psychologist who’s written on the importance of the 20s, depression is often triggered by loss. And the period between 18 and 29 is filled with potential losses: breaking up with a significant other, losing friends, losing a job, failing school or not getting into an academic program, and realizing our dream career plans just might not work out. The 20s, Jay says, are a time of uncertainty, which can leave people feeling powerless to change their lives.

Biological factors also come into play. In the last few years, scientists have noted that the frontal lobe (the part of the brain responsible for planning and reasoning) doesn’t completely develop until the mid-20s. This means 20-somethings are faced with making some huge decisions (where to live, what career to pursue, whether to propose) when they aren’t yet at their full cognitive capacity, which can cause feelings of angst and anxiety.

In some cases, 20-somethings might not realize certain lifestyle factors may contribute to depressive symptoms. Binge drinking tends to be most common and intense in people ages 18 to 24, and alcohol use disorders are closely linked to depression. According to Cameron Johnson, M.D., a psychiatrist at Loma Linda University, the transition from high school to college (and from college to post-grad life) is often marked by changes in sleep schedules, which can also cause some mental health issues.

Whatever the reason for depression during this time period, there are a number of ways to cope. Many involve reaching out to people we trust and making small but meaningful lifestyle changes.

1. Your Action Plan
According to Jay, there’s little evidence those who get depressed in their 20s will struggle with recurring depression, especially if they address it properly when it first appears.

2. There’s a range of practical ways to alleviate feelings of depression. This list certainly doesn’t include every way to treat depression, but it does highlight some of the most effective strategies for people of any age.
Phone a friend or family member.

3. When it comes to dealing with depression at any time of life, mental health experts tend to agree social support is crucial. But reaching out to friends and family is harder than it might seem, since people tend to withdraw into themselves when they’re feeling depressed. That’s why parents can play a special role in our early 20s, says psychologist and Greatist expert Mark Banschick, M.D. Many of us start to see our parents as more loving and supportive than we did in our adolescence. So don’t feel like it’s baby-ish to pick up the phone and call Mom when you’re feeling blue.

4. Get a move on.
Studies have found that exercise can be highly protective against depression and anxiety. Johnson says he recommends his patients do 20 minutes of high-intensity cardio every morning for a positive energy boost.

5. Hit the hay.
In Johnson’s words, sleep is the “bedrock of good mental health.” An erratic sleep schedule can cause our frontal lobe functioning to go haywire, which can contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety. Need help? Try one of these tips for sleeping better tonight.

6. Zen out.
While more research is necessary in this area, studies have found that any kind of meditative movement, including yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong, can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. In fact, some psychologists suggest getting our Om on could be as effective as taking antidepressant medication. Mindfulness meditation (a technique focused on learning to be present and sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings) can be especially helpful for decreasing depression and anxiety.
