All the world wide women who manage to be both mothers and successful professionals are Superhuman.
We are blessed to know and love them. Wives, daughters and so many good friends.

Millions of working women face difficult life circumstances. Some are single mothers; many struggle to find any job; others support husbands who cannot find jobs. Many cope with a work life in which good day care is either unavailable or very expensive; school schedules do not match work schedules; and schools themselves are failing to educate their children.

Spring Has Sprung

Submitted by ub on

A series of storm systems will bring major impacts to the Western, Central, and Southern U.S this week. Heavy rainfall and severe weather are expected with localized rainfall amounts exceeding one foot will be possible. The heavy rainfall could lead to flooding of rivers and urban areas.

Tornadoes, lightning, floods, rip currents and early season heat - Spring is three months of danger that can imperil the unprepared. It roars in like a lion, rampaging across the United States throughout March, April and May. And there’s one hazard that can strike the coasts at any time: tsunamis.

Have you had your fill of the Republican presidential primary? If not, you’re a glutton for punishment and you’ll be happy to know Republicans candidates are crawling closer to the 1,237 delegates necessary to win the GOP nomination on the first convention ballot.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was pressed to its limits by an international team of astronomers and they shattered the cosmic distance record by measuring the farthest galaxy ever seen in the universe.

This surprisingly bright infant galaxy, named GN-z11, is seen as it was 13.4 billion years in the past, just 400 million years after the Big Bang. GN-z11 is located in the direction of the constellation of Ursa Major.

Get ready, get set, pick up your pencils. Meet the New SAT. Not the same as the old one. Bid adieu to abstruse SAT vocabulary words of wisdom.

While many of the updates may actually make sense, others have left experts scratching their heads.

The Uniform Crime Reporting Program has been the starting place for law enforcement executives, students of criminal justice, researchers, members of the media, and the public at large seeking information on crime in the nation. The program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet the need for reliable uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics.

SEX IS BEST

Submitted by ub on

Do you remember the last time you made love, or had sex? For most of us to recall events, facts or processes, we must commit them to memory. The process of forming a memory involves encoding, storing, retaining and subsequently recalling information and past experiences.

50 year old adults who are more sexually active have better memory and cognitive skills than people who get busy less often, a new UK study suggests.

Id, Ego and Super-ego Trumped

Submitted by ub on

Freud said our personality, also refereed to as the human psyche has more than one aspect and is structured into three parts The id, the ego and the superego, which are all developing at different stages in our lives.
