  Many women cannot wait to get off the pain, cramps and, most times, the discomfort they experience during menstruation. Yet, when it eventually bids goodbye, many are ill-prepared for the medical and psychological challenges that follow. Most women have said that instead of relief, they feel less feminine; others even thought they had contacted a disease. Not to worry, doctors have said menopause, which is the permanent end of menstruation, is a turning point in a woman’s life, not a disease.

It does not happen suddenly, it is a gradual process, but many women fail to see the warnings, hence they experience complications such as hot flashes and severe issues like heart diseases and osteoporosis says a gynaecologist, Dr. Jeni Worden, “Menopause is a milestone   – it’s the day that marks 12 months ...

                             Not every career path will do. Not every job will lead you to professional success and satisfaction. And many people who have ‘suddenly’ quit jobs that pay them six-digit salaries for lesser-paying jobs will attest to that. They suddenly realised that their high-profile jobs offered them no satisfaction and led ‘nowhere’; at least not where they want to be career-wise. According to experts, many people fail to define a career path and often end up far from the road to professional success. They advise that people ought to take out time and plan career paths for themselves before they get a job. For those already working, they say it is not too late to define a career path and regularly review it. Doing this of course is not as easy as a stroll down the street. In truth not many people can confidently say wha...

Beyond how cool a vehicle looks, auto experts say there are many other things to consider before getting a new car, SIMON EJEMBI writes. Just like mobile phones, many people buy cars with functionalities they know nothing about. Similarly, many people go for cars just because someone else has the same type of car. According to auto experts, many people end up purchasing vehicles that are not suited to them, their environment and their lifestyle because they failed to ask the right questions and to understand certain basic things about cars. “You don’t buy a car or vehicle just because you saw somebody buying it,” says the Managing Consultant, Newsletters Limited, Lagos, Dr. Oscar Odiboh.

In the world of comedy, there are few things that are off limits. This article will touch on some of the biggest comedy blunders of the past. Gilbert Gottfried Gilbert Gottfried is a very accomplished comedian and actor, having acted in dozens of films and commercials. He also has an accomplished stand-up career. His has a very vulgar style of comedy, touching on things from racism to politics. After a tsunami hit Japan in 2011, Gottfried decided that it was a good idea to get on Twitter and send 12 tweets joking about the natural disaster. The backlash was tremendous, with Gottfried hearing it from the public for weeks and eventually losing his job as the spokesperson for Aflac. He was the voice for the Aflac duck, the company’s mascot and star of its commercials. Aflac does the majority of its business in Japan, which was a major factor in Gottfried being fired. He had the role for 11 years before his firing. Michael Richards Michael Richards, better known as Kramer from Seinf...

To be successful in life, experts say there is need to constantly seek personal improvement. In this article, SIMON EJEMBI highlights ways you can achieve that. Change, they say, is constant. And the world today is proof of that. Gone are the things that once mattered – in the home and the workplace. As the work environment transforms into a non-paper-based one, large filing cabinets, fax machines, etc. have been replaced by computers and other technological devices. The way we communicate has been revolutionalised as has many other aspects of our lives. These changes have made the acquisition of new skills paramount. And those who have been unable to adapt by acquiring the requisite skills have been left behind – without (good) jobs and decent means of living. For instance architects that once relied on T-Squares and drawing boards can now get their designs done digitally and faster. Employers are now hiring people who have “social media presence” and things like that. Ex...

Leverage literarily means to assist. This is one of the main attractions of forex and makes it better in comparison to the stock market.  Forex leverage is the ability to control a large amount of money in the forex markets, with a much smaller deposit. For instance, if a forex brokerage offers 500:1 leverage, that means for every $1 that is in your account, you can trade $500 on the forex market. So it translates to doing more business more than your investment. Forex brokers offer leverage which gives opportunity to make more money with your (little) investment if properly used. For example, let’s say that you have $1000 in a trading account. If you were to put a $1000 trade on the market, the approximate pip value would be 10 cents. If you trade moved in a favourable direction for 10 pips, your profit would be $1.00, or 0.1 per cent. If you were to use 10:1 leverage and make that same trade, you still would only have to have $1000 in your account, but your trade value would...
