Labor Day Sales at Kohl’s, Target, Amazon, and More!

There tend to be a lot of deals and sales that pop up right around Labor Day weekend. I think it is because this is when many people will have an extra day off of work.

Fitness in Middle Age Impacts Later Years

I know there is supposed to be some rule that women never divulge their age. But I have never believed in that—or perhaps it’s just that I tend to have a rebellious side in me. I have no problem letting people know that I am 43 years old. In fact, when I turned 40, I felt terrific. It felt like the best of my years were just beginning. Apparently there is something else about the 40’s that could make a significant difference in your later years…your level of physical activity. In a recent study, there was strong evidence that those … Continue reading →

Clue About Male Pattern Baldness Could Lead to Treatment

Posted on by

Scientists have discovered something interesting about male pattern baldness. This clue could, potentially, lead to treatment for it. This is probably very exciting news for people who have a family history of this particular type of hair loss. Male pattern baldness is also called androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It tends to affect more men than women, which is probably why it is generally called male pattern baldness. However, women can also experience this form of hair loss. It has been known for quite some time that male pattern baldness runs in families. Men whose fathers, or grandfathers, lost their hair at … Continue reading →

Posted on by

A poll done by the Pew Research Center shows that Americans have become increasingly uneasy with the idea of mixing religion and politics. The reason for this has a whole lot to do with the battle over birth control coverage in employer sponsored health insurance. The Pew Research Center, according to it’s website, is “a non-partisan fact tank that provides information on the issues, attitude and trends shaping America and the world.” It conducts public opinion polling, and other types of empirical social science research. The Pew Research Center does not take positions on policy issues. It just gathers data … Continue reading →
