What does it take to get a man to truly commit and want only you? What men desire most is a woman who inspires them to be their best self. Being that woman is a much different mindset than what most women typically do these days. So what’s the major error that trips women up? It’s their focus. Instead of focusing on the feelings and experience they create for the man, the woman fixates on her own wants, her own worries, her own fears. And amidst this completely self-absorbed mindset consumed by what she wants, it’s no wonder that she’s unable to hook a man’s interest in a significant way, one that goes beyond just hooking up. Sure, that woman might cook him dinners, perform in bed, and tell him how much she likes him, but none of that stuff penetrates a man’s psychology on a deep and meaningful level. Forget about just getting commitment. When you really understand and master the art of tapping into the deep parts of a man’s psyche, he will want to move mount

Love is one of the most undefined and over-expressed experiences. We have all sorts of ideas and notions about it that either reinforce its importance or hold us back from loving fully. We have ideas of how love should look, how it should feel, and how it should be expressed. All these shouldings cause us great struggle in long term relationships, and as a coach who works with relationship challenges and a person who has had her fair share of challenges, one thing stands out to me — being in love at first just happens and then through conscious choice and action love either stays alive or runs its course. "Being in love may happen by accident at first, but I truly believe it’s a choice whether your nurture that love or not." Here are some of the ways I see people erode the love they have for their partner and I have some suggestions about how to build that love up instead of tearing it down. Reignite your spark

Abuja — The Senate has begun a probe into non-payment of all severance, gratuities and pensions arrears to retired state judicial officers by state governments. Against this backdrop, the Senate yesterday mandated its Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to carry out a holistic investigation on the issues surrounding the non-payment of these entitlements and report back within four weeks. The Senate also mandated the committee to review the laws impeding the harmonization of the processes and prompt payment of retirement benefits of all judicial officers in the country. The upper chamber urged the National Judicial Council, NJC to harmonise the payment of retirement benefits of all judges of superior courts of records in the country as it had done with the salaries and emoluments of retired judicial officers listed in Section 6 of the Constitution. The resolutions were sequel to a motion by Senator Chukwuka Utazi, PDP, Enugu

People with depression and social anxiety have some common and specific structural abnormalities in their brains that can be spotted in imaging scans. This was the major finding of a study from Sichuan University in Chengdu in China, which features this week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago, IL. The researchers — Dr. Youjin Zhao and co-author Dr. Su Lui — came to their conclusions after examining high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of 37 people with major depressive disorder (MDD), 24 with social anxiety disorder (SAD), and 41 people in good health (the controls). They looked for differences in the gray matter of the brain, focusing specifically on the thickness of the cerebral cortex, a thick outer layer of tissue that is densely packed with neurons and deals with most of the brain's information processing. MDD, commonly referred to as depression, is a serious medical illness characteriz

RUMORS have been swirling for weeks that Harry Styles had been booked for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and now the lingerie giant has confirmed that the former One Direction star will indeed perform at the Shanghai catwalk spectacular on November 20. Styles, in his Gucci suited glory, will join Grammy-award winning artist Miguel, Hamilton star Leslie Odom Junior and Chinese pop sensation Jane Zhang onstage at Shanghai’s Mercedez-Benz arena. “We started booking our musical guests months ago when Harry Styles, international superstar, signed on,” Ed Razek, chief producer of the Victoria’s Secret show, told People . In response to reports suggesting that Katy Perry had been denied a visa and could no longer join Styles and Miguel in Shanghai, Razek said that the brand’s dealings with Chinese authorities had only been harmonious. “The news reports I’ve been reading from the US here in Shanghai regarding this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show are not an acc

 Zimbabwe's ruling party has sacked President Robert Mugabe as its leader, officials say. Zanu-PF has appointed ex-vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa, who had been fired by Mr Mugabe two weeks ago. The sacking of Mr Mnangagwa had prompted an extraordinary chain of events as the military intervened to block Mr Mugabe, 93, from installing his wife, Grace, in his place. Mr Mugabe is set to meet military leaders on Sunday and a motorcade has been seen leaving his private residence. Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans had attended street protests on Saturday, demonstrating against the Mugabes. BBC correspondent Andrew Harding, at the Zanu-PF meeting, tweeted a video of people dancing after the decision to remove Mr Mugabe was taken. He said cheering erupted as the decision was announced, although the move has yet to be formalised. But it increases further the pressure on Mr Mugabe that has been building over the past few days, and there are now moves to impeach him as
