EuroMillions reports that the biggest ever European jackpot for a single ticket has been won in Spain, the prize... a whopping US$169 million.
The prize ballooned to a record high after being dragged from lower amounts for about six weeks. There was about 76 million tickets sold... odds was really, impossibly slim... but a single ticket made it through to claim the big lot.
"The record for a single win in EuroMillions is believed to have been broken when Friday's sixth-rollover draw was won by a single ticket holder," ...
There is nothing more dreadful than being stuck in a cubicle the entire day. Some think productivity increases BUT the opposite is true. Productivity takes a nose dive. Imagine staring at the computer monitor with hardly a break. Or scrutinizing that document or spreadsheet for 2 hours.
Physical exercise is important... even in the office. If you can take short breaks to "walk around", you may be surprised at how productive that is to the bottomline. "More often than not, we work through our breaks ...
Yes, we all love spring... but some dread it because it is, to them, the beginning of allergies. Oh those poor souls. No wonder we see a lot of TV commercials for pills to make those allergies go away. From weeds to spores to grass and tree pollens, the warm weather is here, driving airborne allergen levels through the roof. That means your allergy symptoms -- the sniffling, sneezing, and itchy eyes -- are in overdrive and apt to stay that way for months.
If you are thinking of the ...
If you ever get the chance to visit Asia, you must must must make a 3-day swing by Hong Kong. The taste, the sight and general culture is something to crave for. I've spoken with a lot of Americans lately and have asked politely if they've ever been to Asia. 9 out of 10 would say they haven't. And so I've acted like a little ambassador to tell them, "you should! THAT side of the world needs to be experienced".
Hong Kong is one of the great centres for ...
It's a huge frowner to a lot, but still to some this is a season that they've long waited for. It's spring... and just like the beautiful birds who come back to their old nests... our homes are due for a little cleaning. Time to clean all the winter grime and junk to free up home life with bliss. I remember Lowes TV commercials all beaming with stuff to use for the clean-up job ahead.
To get you started, here are a few tips to consider ...
Have you been a little indulgent at the buffet table? Well you may want to hold back primarily for health reasons, but here's another reason why. United Airlines will require obese passengers to buy a second ticket. You read it right...
iVillage and LA Times reports that United Airlines will implement this policy by Wednesday. The carrier, whose parent company is Chicago-based UAL Corp., said it decided to adopt the tougher policy after receiving more than 700 complaints last year from passengers "who did not have a ...
Something quite new from Iran today, they have released official reports that they have cloned a goat. Cloning in biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the city of Isfahan in central Iran, said Dr. Mohammed Hossein Nasr e Isfahani, head of the Royan Research Institute.
Isfahani says the main aim in cloning the goat is to produce medicine to ...
Former cheerleading coach Carlie Beck got fired from her job today when a mother (Heather Giniella) of a teen (who didn't make the cheerleading team) divulged to school officials that Beck couldn't possibly be a role model because she posed nude for Playboy Online.
"This is something that I would have brought to the attention principal whether (my daughter) was on the team or not," Giniella said. Orangevale California has been pretty active about this whole thing, they even have an online discussion about it right here.
As with any other ...
This is a rather unusual effort to drive the "love for the environment" campaign by the Brighton and Hove City Council in the UK. While most campaigns would grow around information and pro-activity events, this council bears a little teeth by sending a memo to Artist Anton Cataldo for stapling a lot of "lost & found" posters all over what seems to be where he allegedly lost 2 prized paintings.
The fine was later withdrawn but the memo lives in "infamy", well at least for Cataldo. 'I found the council ...
Here's interesting news from across the big pond. Telegraph.co.uk ran a story about new legislation in the UK regarding women refuge centers to offer help to male victims of domestic abuse. This new legislation aims at providing equal opportunity and rights to people irregardless of race and sex.
Services that these women refuge centers offer are varied but covers the basic necessities of living like food, clothing and shelter. Add counseling and health maintenance and see that it is indeed quite a huge help once deprived the male ...
