Win By Losing For 2015

Submitted by Admin on

Don't put it off. Take it off and keep it off. Do not risk another dieting dead-end. Set yourself on the road to success with a weight-loss program you can stick with and enjoy!

If diets failed you in the past, then put an end to dieting disappointment for good with health and nutrition professional planning.

Why do most diets not deliver as advertised? In a word: boredom. We start well, but after too many meals that are too restrictive, we lose interest. We're justifiably bored. And we quit.

What could be killing sex lives of many couples? Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation impair the quality of sexual intercourse for both men and their female partners.

Medical research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that there are actually two more surprising reasons to add to the list: a man’s relationship with his mother as a child, and how old he was when he first fell in love.

The death tolls keeps climbing. In 2013, the U.N. reported 7,818 Iraqi civilians killed, but 12K this year.

Casualty figures for Iraq in 2014 were at their highest in over five years amid a spate of deadly violence which has been convulsing the country, the United Nations mission in the country reported today.

According to the latest figures issued by the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), last year saw a total of 12,282 Iraqis killed and another 23,126 injured, registering as the worst outburst of violence experienced by the country since the 2006-2007 biennium.

Minimum Wage Increases

This year, there are 20 states, plus Washington, DC all across the US, which have increased their workers' minimum wage. In other words, 3 million employees are receiving a salary increase.

Therefore, this year 29 states will have a higher minimum wage than the federal minimum wage, which is still $7.25 an hour.

These city and state-led reforms are mounting pressure on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage, but Congress does not always follow the will of the people, so don't hold your breath, because we're not there yet.

Happy Flu Year

Submitted by Admin on

A flu epidemic has spread across the US, with 15 child deaths reported in nine states so far, according to federal health officials.

It’s not possible to predict how bad this flu season will be like. Flu seasons are unpredictable in a number of ways. While flu spreads every year, the timing, severity, and length of the season usually varies from one season to another.

Flu viruses are constantly changing so it's not unusual for new flu viruses to appear each year. For more information about how flu viruses change, visit How the Flu Virus Can Change.

2014 * 2015

2015 will be a bumpy ride because 2014 was a busy 24/7 news cycle...

Entertainers excessively showed off causing public reactions, or they just couldn't get along, while popular sports generated way too many headlines off the field.

Submitted by Admin on

As Americans prepare to celebrate the end of 2014, and bring in 2015 there's good and bad news from the National Weather Service. http://www.noaa.gov/

First, the good news... New Year’s Day has no chance of precipitation for that time period. So folks won’t have to deal with snow or rain on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day.

Now for the bad news, it’s finally going to begin to feel like winter just in time for New Year’s Eve. The cold weather and low temps for the last night of 2014 calls for temperatures in the high teens. New Year’s Day will be sunny with a high in the low 30s.
