The story of Seth Yeboah Ocran

When one sits back and looks at the several luxurious and flashy cars that form the fleet of YOKS-Rent a Car, a subsidiary of YOKS Investments Limited, one would presume that the Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Seth Kwao Yeboah Ocran, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and could be reaping from a huge family legacy that was left for him by his parents.

Regardless of our status, single or married, gay or straight, and social status, everyone wants to learn how to be good in bed. However, the question is how? Is it something in-born or one that can be learnt?

Whenever the word ”sex” is mentioned, many of us draw closer attention – not just because it is a word we need to hear but rather,  a word we are actively used to as adults. In fact, most of us cannot ”feel the wilds of life” without a sensual taste of sex with our partners. Many of us have sex for various reasons best known to us…for kids, to release stress or just for the fun of it.

Relationship experts agree that communication is important in successful marriages. The quality of that communication is also important. “Take out the trash. Bathe the kids. Pay the bills,” and similar statements might not be well-received. The following phrases are sure to make your husband feel good about himself and his role in your family.

Most women I know possess an unusual ability to multitask. Some of you are wives, mothers, business owners, home makers and have a career to juggle as well.

Getting into that casual mode in fashion should prepare you psychologically, to unwind and go with the flow. The onus certainly lies on you to make the best of your image. So take up the challenge!

Now, take a careful look at your make-up. When was the last time you actually replaced them?

Allegations of cheating by Joshua Clottey’s girlfriend, who was said to have slept with another man a week to Clottey’s crucial final eliminator bout against Jose Luis Cruz in the US in 2008, became topical in the country.

Everyone wants to be successful, but sadly, most people don’t have what it takes to produce the outstanding results like successful people do.

If you want to be successful, you must first start with yourself. You must change the way you do things.

The brain makes a judgement about new people within 30 seconds of meeting them, and once an impression is formed it is extremely difficult to alter.

In the world of business, those 30 seconds can be the difference between getting the job or securing the investment, and a lot of hard work going to waste.

Psychologists and behaviour experts explain how to make this briefest of windows count.

The bedroom is the epicenter of love, it sets the mood of the home and affects everything in the house and family including parenting. The bedroom should be:

1. “A prayer altar”
The bedroom should be the place where a couple makes prayers most. A place where God is worshiped and reigns. A place where God’s word is read and discussed. A place where the couple makes individual and united prayers. A place where random and also structured prayers are said. Praying before they sleep, praying when they rise up.

Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. The definition of marriage varies according to different cultures, but it is principally an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged.

Plenty of attention is given to the physical changes and discomforts in a woman's body during pregnancy, but the emotional changes she could be experiencing may not always get discussed. 

In addition to her physical health, a woman's emotional well-being and her mental outlook can also play important roles in pregnancy. 

With love and relationships a totally different ball game to that of the 50s and 60s, what does it take for your marriage to succeed in the current day?

UCLA's Family Studies Center researched 1,500 couples who had been together for five or more years, and that recognised a close bond with their partner.

Unlike his fortunate peers whose  parents  financed their education from the basic  level to university, Professor Gabriel Ayum Teye, the newly appointed Vice Chancellor (VC) of the University for Development Studies (UDS) did not have  that kind of  privilege as he had to finance his entire education through farming.

Prof Teye, who was the third child out of eight children, had all his other siblings going to school but he being the eldest son of his mother, had to always accompany his father  to the farm.

Apart from not getting support to educate himself, he had to also break an old tradition of the Krobo people that maintained that the first son was not supposed to go to school but help the father in his farming activities  and inherit him after his demise and become the head of the family.

Breakfast being the first meal of the day provides the energy needed to begin the day. Most often as should be the case, we eat breakfast after a long period of fasting throughout the night.

In the morning, our body needs energy to kick-start the day’s activities. This energy comes from the breakfast meal which helps in replenishing glycogen stores in the body.

Jealousy is inevitable. And it can feel worse after you’ve ended the relationship. So are you jealous of your ex? Find out how to change that.

When you’re having a hard time dealing with your break up, it’s easy to be jealous of your ex and even hate them for moving on and having a good time.

 When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it really doesn’t matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go. You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if his or her happiness means that you’re not a part of it.

I receive heaps of emails from men and women asking about treatments for thinning hair and, as someone with abundant but annoyingly thin hair myself, I have a vested interest in finding anything that makes things look a little less puny up top. My disappointing but unsurprising opinion is that nothing works to prevent or halt alopecia or natural male hair loss, despite whatever the packaging and advertising claim. Save your money.

Many types of cancer are induced by the food we eat. Cancer can also be prevented or helped by adding super fruits to our diet. Here are the Top 14 best anti-cancer super fruits and why they are so good for you:

BLUEBERRIES

Researchers have shown blueberries contain pterostilbene, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonols, and tannins, which inhibit mechanisms of cancer cell development. Besides this, blueberry can also alleviate the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, prevent urinary tract infections, and reduce blood sugar.

Most of us are aware of the nourishing, restorative and protective benefits of papaya fruit, but have little knowledge about the healing powers of papaya leaves – which are far more powerful than its fruit. Unlike the fruit, the leaves are bitter to taste due to its high concentration of phytonutrients – which explains its therapeutic benefits.

The white lily comes from the Liliaceae family and grows throughout Western Asia and the Mediterranean regions. It is usually grown as a garden plant but is also found growing wild in the fields. The white lily is perennial in nature and grows to a height of 60-150 centimeters. It has large white scaly bulbs and linear leaves. The flowers of this plant are white, quite large, and aromatic. The flowers, bulbs, and roots of the white lily are used internally as well as externally for therapeutic purposes to treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders. 

Food was once seen as a source of sustenance and pleasure. Today, the dinner table can instead begin to feel like a minefield. Is the bacon on your plate culinary asbestos, and will the wheat in your toast give you “grain brain”? Even the bubbles of gas in your fizzy drinks have been considered a hazard.

Worse still, the advice changes continually.  As TV-cook Nigella Lawson recently put it: “You can guarantee that what people think will be good for you this year, they won’t next year.”

This may be somewhat inevitable: evidence-based health advice should be constantly updated as new studies explore the nuances of what we eat and the effects the meals have on our bodies. But when the media (and ill-informed health gurus) exaggerate the results of a study without providing the context, it can lead to unnecessary fears that may, ironically, push you towards less healthy choices.
