It's a writer's worst nightmare. The blank page. Whether you're writing a book, a blog, an article or an essay for school, you can encounter the same problem. You have ideas but you just can't think of a way to get started. You have to grip the reader from the start, and that challenge can be pretty daunting. It might help you to break down what makes a good first sentence. Dos and Don’ts of Writing a First Sentence Do Make It Personal Unless you're writing an academic thesis, bring your personality into your writing. Write in first person. Even better, address your reader directly as “you.” It will draw them in and make them feel a part of what you’re writing, as if you’re speaking directly to them (because you are). Don't Start with, “This Article is About…” It should go without saying, but it's an easy trap to fall into when you can’t think of anything to write. You don’t need to tell them what you’re writing abou...

Are bearded men good with babies? Are beards attractive to women? In a fight, do beards help or hinder? If you’re having trouble telling men from women, here’s a clue. Men are the ones with hair sprouting from their faces (alright more hair sprouting from their faces). Some men attempt to cover up the effect of all those androgens by shaving off their beards. Others prefer to send out manly signals in all directions (well, either that or they can’t be bothered to shave). Who is right? What signal does the beard really send? Here are four very important beard-related facts that every man, woman and child should know. 1. Beards are attractive…or are they? Whether or not beards are attractive to women is a big area of controversy in beard-related psychological research. Some studies find that bearded men are more attractive to women than the clean-shaven, others not (e.g. Reed & Blunk, 1990; Muscarella & Cunningham, 1996). The most recent research goes...

Most people feel a little jealous sometimes, especially when they have strong feelings of attraction and love for their partner, and a little jealousy occasionally can add zest to a relationship. But just as a spark can illuminate a room, a blaze can burn it to the ground. So what’s behind jealousy? What does jealousy in a relationship mean? At the root of jealousy lies fear of loss. Like many jealous partners, Kevin feared loss of their relationship, loss of self-respect, even loss of ‘face’ fearing how his friends would see him if he were to be ‘made a fool of’. Fear makes for feelings of insecurity. When fear lessens, so does jealousy. More than feelings of fear, jealousy also leads to a smorgasbord of other emotions such as anger, hate of love ‘rivals’, disgust (sometimes self-disgust), and hopelessness. So why might a person be jealous? Kevin’s ex-wife had cheated on him and he felt he’d never got over this. ‘Once bitt...

The Federal Government is making concrete preparations towards the payment of monthly allowances to unemployed Nigerians to ease their economic status. In a move aimed at actualising the planned social security for the teeming unemployed Nigerians, the federal government monday said plans were underway to register all unemployed citizens across the country, according to ThisDay reports.

We are going to tenaciously pursue th...
