Mean Girls Everywhere

According to 100 evolutionary psychology papers claim that women have cattiness built in them.  According to the results women are staring to use gossip, back stabbing and shunning more and more to hurt their target and to make themselves feel better.  This behavior is becoming a norm for the females.  Women show their anger mostly through mild and indirect ways.  Usually spreading rumors and hurting with words.  This makes figuring a woman out more of a guessing game while men tend to use more direct ways like shouting/ yelling.  It is also proven that when men are victims of gossip they rarely notice it.  http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013/10/30/mean-girl-behavior-is-the-norm-science-says/

Flavored Tabacco

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new study about how young teens are all over the “little cigars.”  There are cigars flavored as chocolate, strawberry, and grape which appeal to children.  Companies that make the flavored “mini cigars” argue that they are not targeting children, even though it’s obvious they are since the flavors seem more probable to be consumed by teens.  The CDC is trying their best to make the cigars less accessible to children because not every place that sells tobacco checks for IDs.  The smokers range all the way from Middle School to High Schoolers. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/22/cdc-flavored-tobacco-products-luring-underage-smokers/

Algae in Lake Earie

Lake Erie, which provides water for about 11 million people, is going bad.  Algae in Lake Erie are getting to extreme conditions.  Last year it got so bad that a town told its population of 2,000 people to not the water from tap until told otherwise, something that has never happened until then.  The algae growth is fed by the phosphorus of farm fertilizers, which leaves behind toxins that can kill animals and harm humans.  The water is now being filtered for a longer time, making sure that it is pure.  This is costing double the amount of money it took last year to purify water, the costs are at $4 million now. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/14/toxins-from-algae-in-lake-erie-pose-threat-to-drinking-water/

Lose Weight or Lose Job

Tory Johnson, business woman and “Good Morning America” contributor had a life changing conversation that set her on the right path. She had met with her boss and her boss told her that she recommends hiring a stylist to appear neater on stage.  Tory, though, took this conversation from a different perspective and realized that if she does not lose weight, she will end up losing her job.  Diets never really worked for Tory, but her job was a great motivation for her.  She started exercising and eating less.  Even though eating less isn’t the trick it worked for Tory.  She lost 72 pounds and is now on the right track. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/07/health/weight-loss-tory-johnson/index.html?hpt=he_c1
