When it comes to dealing with a breakup, celebs are just like us. Sure, they're rich and beloved by millions of Twitter followers, but at the end of the day, they deal with heartbreak the same way we do: crying into a bowl of ice cream, blaring sad, sad music and struggling to put on non-yoga pants.
Below, nine celebrities share the wisdom they've learned from the roughest of post-breakup days. 

1. It's true what they say; getting over the heartbreak doesn't happen overnight.
"When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.' And I wanted to knock them out cold across the table. Because, of course, I was in agony. And the last thing I wanted to think was that I was going to stay that way for a long time. But interestingly enough, it is over four years later -- we were together eight years -- and I finally feel like, cool. I feel better." -Uma Thurman.

2. Know that it's going to feel awful. 
"I was crawling on the floor. I remember Throwing up. I remember being on the floor... I have never felt anything quite like that. It was so visceral. It's like someone has killed you and you have to live through it and watch it happen. It was awful." -Emma Stone. 


3. Give yourself time to grieve, but don't overdo it.
"You can allow yourself 72 hours of wallowing time. Then you've got to get into the gym, stop eating the ice cream and move on." -Jennifer Love Hewitt.


4. While you're single, focus on loving yourself a little more.
"I think I've finally learned the biggest lesson of all .You've got to love yourself first. You've got to be OK on your own before you're OK with someone else. You've got to value yourself and know that you're worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship." -Jennifer Lopez

Do you agree with the list, guys?

To really benefit from this article, you’ll first have to get down from your high horse this instance. Stop bashing the mistress, the “other” woman, whatever you call her.
Whether you like it or not, mistresses exist for a reason. They thrive because they’re better than you in ways you refuse to acknowledge. There isn’t a fairer game than love. Says who. She’s a cheater. Well for one, nobody can force a man to love.
I’ve been a girlfriend, a wife and the contrary. None is better than the other but I can tell you this: a mistress brings vitality back into a man’s dying heart. On that accord, is there not something worthwhile for us to explore?
Still with me? Good.

*.1. Mistresses are fun to be around.
She’s always delighted to see him. It reflects in many subtle ways: a smile, a glance, a
gesture, a tone of voice and the response to his touch. She makes sure to wipe off her sour face after a bad day. That explains why he looks forward to seeing her again.

*.2. Mistresses show interest in a man’s hobbies.
Similar interest is what fuels a love affair in the first place. Sharing hobbies and interests breeds common ground for two people to grow closer.

*.3. Mistresses don’t judge.
He tells her everything: his secrets, his deepest desires, his aspirations and his darkest thoughts. He knows they’re safe with her. He is safe with her. She doesn’t turn around and make a fool of him. She accepts all that he is.

*.4. Mistresses look after their own bodies.
She works out, keeps her diet in check, does her hair right, puts on a nice dress and picks a scent that best suits it. Occasionally, she goes to a spa to calm her mood. She does things to make herself feel more feminine, more beautiful and more confident.

*.5. Mistresses affirm men.
When he gets a job well done, she compliments him. When he does something nice for her, she appreciates him. When he’s beaten down, she encourages him. She explicitly displays those forms of affection in action and in words.

*.6. Mistresses make men feel important.
She is submissive. I’m not talking about 50 shades kind of submission although that would be a plus. She listens to him and constantly seeks out his opinions regarding her thoughts and the things she wishes to pursue. Allowing him certain control over her life makes him feel needed and ultimately wanted.

*.7. Mistresses are very open to sex.
She almost never rejects him. She isn’t ashamed to initiate. She wears sexy lingerie. She is willing to try something new or forbidden: a place, a position or a toy. Continue www.uztalks.com/2014/07/8-love-lessons-nigerian-wives-need-to.html?m=1

The Lagos State Government yesterday confirmed a possible case of Ebola Virus, which is been currently investigated while treatment is on for the 40 year old Liberian, who is now a suspect, and a possible 30 others who may have had contact with him.
The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Public Health, Dr Yewande Adeshina, in a briefing noted that the 40 year old Liberian is in a private hospital in the Obalende area of the State. And that the hospital housing the Liberian has been cordoned off and the victim isolated.
However, there's the need for all of us, even if you are not in Lagos, to watch out and stay safe. Here are some tips:


WHAT IS EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE?
Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is the human disease caused by ebola viruses. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, throat and muscle pains, and headaches. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease has a
case fatality rate of up to 90 per cent, this means about 90 per cent of individuals that suffer from the disease could die.


TREATMENT
*.No vaccine for EVD is available. Several vaccines are being tested, but none are available for clinical use.TRANSMISSION
*.Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals.
*.Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids.
*.Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola.
*.Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.
*.Health-care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed EVD.PREVENTION:
*.Wash your hands frequently. As with other infectious diseases, one of the most important preventive measures for Ebola virus is frequent hand-washing. Use soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol when soap and water aren't available.

*.Avoid bush meat. In developing countries, wild animals, including nonhuman primates, are sold in local markets. Avoid buying or eating any of these animals.

Are you ready to win your dream girl?  Here we go…

1. Be pursuant

Pursue her without the pressure. In other words, don’t try to “front” and be cocky. Have a conversation first and show her you are interested beyond her appearance.  You don’t have to come up with some crazy pickup line. You can simply say, “I want to introduce myself…”Be sincere and genuine in wanting to get to know her. I see too many good guys get intimidated by a girl’s beauty up front, but take a closer look, and find her true self. Honestly, if you can get past this, you’ll have a leg up on the other idiots out there. After all, being genuine is where you excel the most. This is why you are the good guy!!


2. Be a gentleman

Girls don’t want to be treated like a queen, but they do want to be treated like a princess. She doesn’t want you to be a doormat, she wants you to be the one in charge. Open every door for her, especially the car door. Pull out her chair and allow her to sit down first when you take her on a date, and let her order first. When you are walking alongside the street, you should be the one walking closest to the street. Being a gentleman is being selfless.

3. Be complimentary

On our first date, I told her “You look so beautiful.” I then told her how great she looked when I saw her without makeup the night before. It was real and sincere. While she later revealed to me that she had been testing me to see if I would still like her without makeup, I simply saw a girl who didn’t have enough time because she just got done at the gym. That was incredibly sexy to me.

4. Be creative

You don’t have to blow your bank account to impress her. Think outside the box. I’ve been watching one of my good buds pursue his girl right. He took her on a hike in Malibu, CA to waterfalls and then took her to this place called M Café complete with swans. He’s also taken her to the Getty museum and the zoo, which are free. Another idea is to take her to a place like Color Me Mine, where you paint your own pottery. Putting thought and originality into a date lets her know you really care about showing her the best in life and it allows you to experience each other across various situations.


5. Be intentional

Invite her to parties, events, and game nights with your friends. I called Kristen every day when I finally got her number.  I sent her encouraging text messages and inspirational Bible verses. I told her I wanted to be her man on our fifth date.  She wasn’t ready, but she knew what I wanted. I gave her the time she needed with no stipulations, while still pursuing her intentionally. She told me she loved that.

I've been an entrepreneur for 10 years. I learned business the old-fashioned way through pure trial and error. I don't believe that business can be taught any other way, and even if it could I don't believe it could be as effective. Entrepreneurship is really hot right now. Twenty-five year olds are becoming millionaires overnight simply by developing apps. In this environment there's no wonder why so many young people are becoming attracted to entrepreneurship. In typical college fashion, many universities are trying to exploit this trend by developing entrepreneurship courses and majors. This is total nonsense and here's three reasons why.


1.) Can't Manufacture Risk Takers
The biggest thing that separates entrepreneurs from employees is that entrepreneurs are risk-takers. You simply can't manufacture risk-takers. The higher education system serves the purpose of manufacturing like-minded clones with the same attributes and mentalities. When I say clones, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I'm not sure there's any other way to sugarcoat the truth. A clone by definition is a model that matches another with the same characteristics. Think about how detrimental it would be if entrepreneurs were all walking around with the same thought processes and approach to business. We'd never innovate. At the core of entrepreneurship is the idea of individualism. Individualism is not an attribute that is encouraged in the classroom setting and it never will be. It would force a learning environment with limited curriculum because in an environment that cultivates the growth of individuals, there's no way to appropriately grade each individual student. Are you supposed to give one kid an "A" because his idea and business plan worked, but then you give another kid an "F" because theirs didn't? This is why teaching entrepreneurship in the classroom makes no sense.

College by default is the average person's Plan A and Plan B. Think about it. Even when young adults aren't necessarily excited about going to college they're pressured by their parents and they're told, "you need to graduate from college so you have something to fall back on." Entrepreneurs don't look for things to fall back on and they're not fond of Plan Bs. They go all in.

A blog reader send in this mail she needs your advice on what to do,,,,,,


I’ve been married 10 years but my husband behaves like he’s 90 years old and we haven’t had sex in a long time. Now I’ve found someone better than him and want more. Am I to be blame?
I’m 36 and a primary school teacher. My husband is 38 and works in IT. We’ve got two girls aged 11 and nine and have been married for nearly 12 years.
For the last year or two it’s been grim. My husband bores and irritates me half to death. I’m sick of the tedious grind of the classroom and the even worse grind back at home.

I was so uptight I almost exploded with rage when the head teacher said we had an extra staff meeting after school to talk about our OFSTED inspection. I moaned to a colleague at break time. He’s the only man on the staff and he teaches the children PE.
He’s gorgeous and sexy and we always got on well, but I thought out of bounds to a mother like me.

I phoned my husband to say I’d be late, he said ok. In the end the head teacher had to deal with an emergency with a student with family problems so the meeting was off after all. I looked at my colleague and to my surprise he just smiled and said, “Fancy a drink?”
I didn’t think twice. We went to a pub down the road and I felt almost sick with excitement. I think we both knew that we both wanted more than a drink.
We chatted over a glass of wine and he told me his marriage was pretty much dead. He’s got two little boys and he loves them to bits, but he’s bored with his wife and is desperate for change.

When it comes to finding "The One" -- that one special person and relationship that will last a lifetime -- the conventional wisdom is simply, "When you know, you know." That's all fine and dandy, but many of us require something more concrete than just a gut feeling.

We reached out to marriage and relationship experts to help us pinpoint the most telling signs that you're in the right relationship.
Find out what they had to say below.

1. You know what your partner needs to feel loved -- even if those needs are different than yours.
Some people feel loved when their partner brings them a cup of coffee in the morning. Some need their spouse to tell them how beautiful or handsome they look. Others require sex and physical forms of affection. The point is, each of us has different preferences when it comes to giving and receiving love.
"We have to teach our partner to love us and not expect them to read our minds," "You know you are with the right person when they tell you what makes them feel loved and you are happy to generously lather them with whatever they need. And they do the same for you."


2. You fight, but you do it productively.

Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but how you handle those disagreements can predict whether or not you'll be together in the long-run. "How both of you behave now when you have a disagreement also says a lot about how you will (or won't) resolve problems in the future," "A good relationship is one where the two of you fight fair. In other words, you don't curse, scream, talk down to each other or dismiss each other."


3. You get a confidence boost from your mutual physical attraction.

"Feeling sexual attraction and sexually attractive is a life force like nothing else,""That person who ignites you from within, boosting your self-esteem and also offers external pleasures is definitely a keeper."


4. You two are different enough to keep things interesting, but you're on the same page where it matters most.
They say that opposites attract, and while that may be true at first, it's not necessarily a long-term predictor of relationship success. In fact research has shown that the strongest relationships are those built on a foundation of similar underlying values and beliefs.
"It is okay to have different interests or movie likes, but similarity in key life values (e.g., views on money, the importance of religion or how you raise children) is what keeps people together over the long-term," she explained.
