Painful Sex - 8 reason it Hurts

Oooh, oooh—ouch! Sound familiar? If sex doesn't always feel so pleasurable, you're not alone.

 

According to the 2009 National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, 30% of women reported pain during their last sexual encounter. But just because it's common doesn't mean it's okay. "Pain during sex not only ruins the moment, it can have much greater consequences:

Health Checkup: Rotator Cuff Disease Strikes often, expert says, and sometimes patients don’t even know they have it

The Specialist:

As the system-wide chairperson of orthopedic surgery at Mount Sinai, Dr. Leesa Galatz has been practicing as a shoulder and elbow specialist for 16 years. Ninety percent of the surgeries she performs are for shoulder injuries.

Dr. Leesa Galatz.

Who’s at risk:

Rotator cuff disease is extremely prevalent, especially in older individuals.

“If you take 100 people off the street who are over the age of 60 and who experience no pain, about 30% will have a rotator cuff tear and not even know it. Not all tears are symptomatic,” Galatz says. “Rotator cuff disease is so common because of the way our shoulders are made. These muscles are in constant use, and our arms require a wide range of motion. So the muscles and tendons of the shoulder experience a lot of wear and tear over the years.”

The rotator cuff is a cluster of muscles and tendons that keep the ball of the arm bone in the socket joint of the shoulder. “There are four small muscles that come from your shoulder blade to the outside of your shoulder, forming a cuff or hood over the ball of your shoulder,” Galatz says. “The rotator cuff has a crucial role to play: it both stabilizes the shoulder and allows for a wide range of arm movement.”

UK jobless rate at 10-year low but wage growth slows

The rate hit 5.1% in the three months to November - its lowest rate since the three months to October 2005, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The number of people out of work fell by 99,000 to 1.68 million in the three-month period.

 

Average weekly earnings, including bonuses, were up 2%, the slowest increase since February.

The 2% growth in wages was below the 2.1% growth forecast in a Reuters survey.

Excluding bonuses, average weekly earnings growth slowed to 1.9% in the three months, the ONS said.

South African at the Cliff face as its last Skilled Generations Retire- Research

A recent experience provided a stark illustration of the worsening skills problem South Africa faces.

Two months ago, South African universities were requested to provide the names of three staff members to participate in an international capacity development programme co-ordinated by the University of Bath and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Criteria included that they should be younger than 45. I am 44 years old and was shocked that in our department of about 50 people, I was the only one who met the age qualification. Seventy percent of my university colleagues will soon retire.

This is a microcosm of the ageing of skilled people in South Africa.

Brits don't 'believe' can be Infected of AIDs/HIV despite not using a condom

It would appear our nation's young are burying their head in the ground when it comes to the stark reality of catching sexually transmitted infections. 
In a new survey from Durex, it's been revealed 40 per cent of 16-24s admitted they’d had sex with more than one person without a condom. 

More worrying is that a whopping 48 per cent of those quizzed believe contracting HIV/AIDs is "not something that could happen their friendship group".

UK digital skills fall by over 12 million- heatmap.

It has produced what it calls a digital exclusion heatmap, pinpointing the areas where people are most likely to miss out on the digital revolution.

There is bad news for Wales where over a third of the population do not have the five basic digital skills as defined by the charity. But London, Scotland and East Anglia, come top of the league with over 80% of people having those skills. 

 

The map also shows that men are less likely to be digitally disadvantaged than women, with 80% having the necessary skills as compared to 74% of women.

What are these five skills, without which we are unfit for the digital future? Well if you can manage information, communicate, make payments, solve problems, and create stuff online then you are in good shape.

Want to Be More Productive? Never Touch Things Twice

In this series, professionals share their secrets to being more productive. Read the posts here, then write your own (use #ProductivityHacks in the body).

When it comes to productivity, we all face the same challenge — there are only 24 hours in a day. Since even the best ideas are worthless until they're executed, how efficiently you use your time is as important as anything else in business.

I've become fascinated by productivity secrets because some people seem to have twice the time, and there's no better way to reach your goals than by finding ways to do more with the precious time you've been given.

It feels incredible when you leave the office after an ultra-productive day. It's a workplace high that's hard to beat. In my experience you don’t need to work longer or push yourself harder — you just need to work smarter.

Few College Women Felt Lousy after Sex- Research

Should the first in a queue be served last?

The principle of first-come-first-served is simple, and it's fair. Who could possibly argue with it?

Well, one person is Prof Lars Peter Osterdal of the University of Southern Denmark.

 

"Queues, it's a wonderful example of a waste of time," he says.

"The problem with a regular queue where you serve first those who arrive first is that people tend to arrive too early."

Osterdal and his colleague, assistant professor Trine Tornoe Platz, studied situations where a service opens at a particular time and closes after every person has been served. Airlines that do not assign seats before boarding provide a good example.

Knee or Hip replacements Increase Heart Attack and Blood Clot Risk: study

Operations to replace a knee or a hip appear to increase heart attack risk in the short term and the risk of blood clots in the long term, according to a new study.

The heart attack risk falls again over time, but blood clot risk is still elevated years later, the researchers found.

The reason for the elevated risks is unclear at this point, said senior author Yuqing Zhang of Boston University School of Medicine in email to Reuters Health.

Regardless, he said, the findings suggest that the risk of a heart attack in the weeks after total joint replacement surgery “may have been previously underappreciated,” and ways to prevent this serious complication may need to be considered.

Examine your Body an Hour after Guzzling an Energy drink?

Red Bull gives you wings — but only for an hour.

Research on Red Bull

The energy drink will give you a high for a short period, but will take 12 hours to fully leave your system.

That’s according to a new graphic on how energy drinks affect the body. It comes in the wake of the now-viral infographics on how Coke and Diet Coke do harm within an hour.

The graphic, on a British shopping website Personalise.co.uk, does not mention Red Bull by name. But the site includes a photo of the can with the label scrubbed out.

Joint-Ventur Partnership in Local production of milk Receives Boost

A joint-venture agreement to build the expertise in the local production of milk has been formalised in Kumasi.

The company, working in collaboration with some international organisations, would assist the University, Ghana’s premier science and technology institution, to boost its research capacity to engender innovations and development of new products within the diary production line.

Goverment Earnings from Crude Oil to Diminish Soon – Research Experts

Research experts in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector say the Federal Government’s earnings from crude oil will diminished in the next couple of years.

 

They made the assertion in their presentations at the ongoing Society of Petroleum Engineers Conference and Exhibitions in Lagos, which began on Wednesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that their projections were based on limited demands for crude oil amid subsisting free-fall in the international price of crude.

The theme of the conference is “Natural Gas Development and Exploitation in an Emerging Economy, Strategies, Infrastructure and Policy Framework.”

Spare the rod, says research

Punishing pupils for bad behaviour with humiliation or by administering corporal punishment only aggravates disciplinary problems at schools, a new research paper has suggested.

Listening to Music differs between Rich and Poor: Research

Poorer, less-educated people like musical genres such as disco, golden oldies, heavy metal and rap while their wealthier and better-educated peers prefer classical, jazz, opera, pop and rock, scientists have found.

Social class continues to inform our cultural attitudes and the way we listen to music, researchers said.
"Breadth of taste is not linked to class. But class filters into specific likes and dislikes," said Gerry Veenstra, study author and professor at University of British Columbia (UBC)'s Department of Sociology.
