Some have indicated that these numbers have little to do with self-control. For many, stress is the cause for that extra fat. Cortisol, a hormone closely linked with obesity, is released as a result of physical or mental stress. [Read More]

Breast cancer makes up a hefty 22.9% of all cancer types in women. This disease, which can affect men and women, usually originates in the milk ducts or lobules. When it is caught early, the chances of beating it can be as high as 98%. Unfortunately, if it reaches a more advanced stage, the chance of survival decreases to 23%. It is, therefore, very important to detect this disease before it spreads.

Some say time is running out for traditional radio stations. Internet broadcasting and television are taking their toll on the radio industry.

Interactive advertising campaigns also play a part in radio's continued success. While they know their services are valuable, they also know that business will suffer if they avoid the limelight. To make themselves known, they often host spin to win campaigns and make very visible donations to local charities. Businesses in every industry can learn a thing [Read More]

In today's day and age, it is important to find learning tools that incorporate both hemispheres of the brain. Private schools are always buying into the latest "miracle" learning technologies and, as a result, sometimes see better results than public schools can achieve. With the kind of results private schools are reporting, public schools may soon feel compelled to make room in their budget. Learning aids likely work by generating an environment of sensory stimulation and positive feedback. The human brain, like that of lower mammals, is "wired" to experience pleasure when a desirable result is achieved. Because the student feels good when they get a chance to [Read More]

Because the student feels good when they get a chance to spin to win, that student will be more motivated to do whatever it takes to get another chance. That means that the student will participate in class, do their hom [Read More]
